Nice to see you post this - not the most frequent watch you post 😊👍🏻
It’s a nice sports watch - I am not a huge fan of integrated bracelets as a concept but this is definitely well made. And this time KFS did not need to drop it into the bucket of ice to demonstrate its water resistance like with the predecessor many moons ago 😁
For a change
I wear this watch almost exclusively in the summer, but decided to wear it today. In good company Chopard Alpine Egale 41 ref. 298600-3002 & L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 ref. 161977-5001 ...
Wonderful Alpine Eagle
This would be a year-round wearer for me. I saw this piece once about 2 years ago. I loved it in person. I wear a gray dial watch several days per week at a minimum. Which makes my other pieces jealous!
I love grey dials and this particular grey dial too, Michael!
But I just like wearing the L.U.C much more... 🤷🏽♂️ I guess it's just my preference for dress watches... That said, I enjoy wearing it during summer! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much. I really like the iris
grey dial, but I like wearing the L.U.C with its enamel dial so much more... Best, Emmanuel

Ha, yes! And I must say that the 100m WR is a nice feature for such a “sports” watch, especially
compared to the 50m of a Royal Oak!
Thank you! I've always been amazed that a 41 mm watch
can fit my wrist so well... Best, Emmanuel
I had seen and tried on the blue dial before
but didn’t feel attracted. A few months later I tried on this grey one and I really liked it… Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, Patrick!
For me, the jump hour is the fantastic watch... ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Both are LOVELY!
I actually like the standard Alpine Eagle more than I like my Salmon dial variant. I even like the date!
It really is a nice watch!
The salmon dial is a little hard to match. I feel I can only wear it in the summer - with summer clothes (think pastel colored linen shirts). I feel if I had the gray or the blue dial, I'd wear my watch more often and derive even more pleasure from it. Tr...
I understand and agree with all of your points.
In this interview of Karl-Fritz Scheufele, I was surprised to hear him express his preference for the grey dial AE41: https://youtu.be/GC-MQkXnxzQ?is=ftWXcdZUT-DfunxD Best, Emmanuel
Karl-Fritz the son or Karl-Friedrich the father?
I have no doubt about the father 's taste (Karl-Friedrich), but I know the son (Karl-Fritz) less and I was mentioning this interview:
Oops. Sorry. I actually meant the father.
I meant Karl Friedrich. When I met Karl-Fritz, he was still a little boy holding his teddy bear! And I haven't met Karl-Fritz since. But I have a feeling that both of them have superb taste!
That really is a stunning looking Chopard Alpine Eagle 41.
The grey dial just works so well against the case and bracelet and whilst I get the fact it makes for a great summer watch you really can enjoy this beauty anytime IMO. Marc
Thank you, Marc!
I agree with you that I could wear this watch anytime, but I have other watches which are more important to me. Best, Emmanuel
