LIFESTYLE Golden Grey Elegance Bahrain Jewellery Centre proudly showcases Chopard’s Alpine Eagle 33, a refined timepiece combining ethical yellow gold and Lucent Steel, now available in an elegant new ‘Vals Grey’ finish. Chopard’s celebrated Alpine Eagle collection continues to evolve with the debut of its latest model – the Alpine Eagle 33. Measuring 33 millimetres in diameter, this new timepiece marks a first for the Maison: a striking combination of Lucent Steel and ethical 18-carat yellow gold. Now available through Bahrain Jewellery Centre (BJC), this watch captures the spirit of contemporary luxury while paying homage to the strength and beauty of nature. The Alpine Eagle line is renowned for its modern, sporty aesthetic and meticulous engineering. This latest model enhances that reputation with a sophisticated new dial in ‘Vals Grey’, a hue inspired by the shimmering quartzite stone tiles found on traditional alpine roofs. The result is a subtle, silvery tone that reflects light beautifully – perfectly paired with gilded hour markers and hands that lend the watch a touch of classic glamour. Ethical, Elegant, Enduring One of the standout features of the Alpine Eagle 33 is its use of materials. The case band and bracelet are forged from Lucent Steel, a metal exclusive to Chopard known for its brilliance, strength and high recycled content. Complementing this is the watch’s ethical yellow gold bezel, crown and central bracelet cap – responsibly sourced in keeping with Chopard’s ongoing commitment to sustainable luxury. The watch’s aesthetic is further elevated by a diamond-set bezel and hour markers, offering a subtle yet luxurious sparkle that transitions seamlessly from daytime sophistication to evening elegance. The dial’s sunburst motif, designed to evoke the iris of an eagle, reinforces the nature-inspired roots of the Alpine Eagle line. Swiss Precision at its Core Beyond its beauty, the Alpine Eagle 33 is a showcase of technical excellence. At its heart lies the Chopard 09.01-C self-winding movement, crafted in-house with 159 components and certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Despite its compact size, the calibre delivers a reliable 42-hour power reserve, visible through the watch’s sapphire exhibition case-back. A Legacy in Motion The Alpine Eagle collection is a reimagining of the iconic St. Moritz watch – the first luxury sports watch designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele in the 1970s. This modern version retains signature design codes such as a round case with raised flanks, a compass rose on the crown and eight indexed screws on the bezel. Chopard’s Alpine Eagle 33 is a symbol of elegance, ethics and evolution. Now available at Bahrain Jewellery Centre, it’s the perfect expression of purposeful luxury for the modern wearer. bahrainthismonth.com | MAY 2025 17
