Chopard IMPERIALE Line
With the new IMPERIALE line, Chopard achieves the feat of enshrining the
quintessence of style and elegance within a watch. For this
reinterpretation of the brand’s famous 1990s model, the House designers
have drawn inspiration from refined, dynamic and natural women with
strong personalities who appreciate the discreet luxury of extremely
beautiful objects.
Beneath its understated appearance, the IMPERIALE conceals a wealth of
rare and precious details. Many of them, such as the typical lug covers,
have been entirely redesigned. The splendours of the imperial age are
expressed through this sculptural timepiece. The delicately engraved
mother-of-pearl dial base evokes the embroidered cushions on which
monarchs used to place their insignia. It is encircled by Roman numerals
representing resolutely “imperial” symbols marking off the hours. The
finely curved hands are reminiscent of tapered daggers used by
sovereigns in combat, while the lotus-shaped crown is fitted on a case
middle with pure, uncluttered sides enhancing the ethereally light and
luminous appeal of this model. In an ultimate touch of refinement, the
lugs resembling antique columns are adorned with tiny amethyst
briolette-cut cabochons for the rose gold versions and blue sapphires
for the white gold models. The delicate royal purple shade of the stones
echoes the colour of the transfers on the watch dial as well as the
Chopard signature.
IMPERIALE radiates an aura of timeless chic embodying a subtle alliance
between simplicity and majesty, sophistication and sensuality. Available
in several sizes and equipped with a quartz, self-winding or
chronograph movement, diamond-set or all-polished versions in steel or
in rose or white gold, and fitted with a metal bracelet or leather
strap, IMPERIALE thus appears in an infinite variety of interpretations
appealing to the most demanding woman to accompany them on all
occasions.
