Do you think Men can still pull it off?

I agree that the Imperiale line is more sophisticated.
It's probably positioned that way within Chopard as well. Even the entry-level Imperiale are a little more sculpted and elegant.
You could start with a time-only steel Imperiale watch and moved up in stages to the Tourbillon Full-Set.
Back in the day, the Imperiale was a unisex watch for potentates and plutocrats before 'paparazzi' were invented.
I've seen a few on the wrists of men in Indonesia and Thailand. Somehow, the bigger chronograph variants seemed fine with maximum gem-setting. Its only the partial gem-set ones that look like ladies' watches.
Could men still pull it off with the modern Imperiale watches?

Agree MTF
a friend of mine bought a Chopard Imperiale watch for his wife few years back, over the Happy Sports. He felt whilst the Happy Sports is more well known, the Imperiale was a lot more timeless and elegant looking. His wife loves the watch. Cheers Robin
Chopard Imperiale does not need bling to have that swing
Indeed....the Imperiale has enough design motifs of its own without gem-setting to look sophisticated and sumptuous. It's got the Swing without the Bling! Chopard Imperiale today. No bling...still swings. Of course, back in hedonistic 1999, before the eco...
Wow that full diamond version is blinding! :)
Imagine it reflecting light in the sun or in a bright room Cheers Robin
The Imperiale collection
Looks elegant and more formal than the Happy Sport. Nice to see the progression of this over the years. Regards, ED-209

probably could
Interesting, didn't know that it was a unisex watch back in the day. I think men can pull it off for the larger chrono versions with all the bling. Regards, ED-209
Thanks
For the - as usually - extensive coverage of the line over the times. I have seen an 'all black' chrono version that was targeted more towards men - and that I could definitely imagine gents being able to pull off. As for the rest of the line, I guess the...
