...not only do I have one, Mrs E has the smaller version too.

It’s doing something a little different: an elegant piece, somewhat formal - more so to my eyes than the ‘usual’ suspects (Royal Oak, Nautilus/Aquanaut, Overseas) in a way that has few rivals (I do notice Cartier bringing back the Pasha, another design in a similar elegant-sporty vein).

Absolutely mesmerising dial, fantastic bracelet and casework in the new bright steel from an independent manufacturer that cares about sustainability. All that speaks to me. (Would have been even better with a LUC movement, yes. That’s just about the only criticism I have.)

Best

E.

i am really please by the new alpine eagle since I saw it for the first time. Not as a gents design but with a personality of it s own. What are your thoughts on this piece ? ...  

My approval

Yes, i say yes. Not for full 100%, but 85% of it match my taste. Not to much bla bla. From a good watch brand. I like bleu and metal. Minors: I like lugs which i can vary straps. But... in case of the Chopard, i think it is at best with the bracelet.

Give it a chance.

Not so sure on this one.

Especially the price/quality ratio is not convincing to me. If it had a LUC movement it would be fine but as such ...???

I was impressed

When my wife tried it on at the boutique. It looked great on her wrist. I unfortunately forgot to make a pic. Both dials looked nice but the contrast of the blue worked better. Kr, Sc16

on a few occasions at saw someone actually wearing it. Roman numerals have to be done right. Cartier and UN get it right. The steel is interesting, but I find it a bit too white, as if they don't want to use steel. Honestly, I wouldn't buy this at 40% of ...
