Chopard has unveiled a new chapter in its iconic IMPERIALE collection with the IMPERIALE Four Seasons, a timepiece that has captured the eternal rhythm of nature through artistry and mechanical brilliance.
Since 1994, the IMPERIALE line has embodied regal elegance and horological mastery. With this creation, Chopard has introduced a poetic complication: a rotating disc that completes a full revolution over 365 days, echoing the gentle cycle of the seasons. Crafted in painted mother-of-pearl marquetry, the disc transforms the dial into a living tableau, shifting with time in perfect harmony with the hour hand.
The dial itself is a study in craftsmanship. Its upper half reveals ethical 18-carat white gold lace sculpted into a lotus motif — a signature of the collection, mirrored in the crown’s design. Satin-finished petals with polished veins shimmer against the backdrop of painted mother-of-pearl, evoking nature’s changing hues. The case, bezel, and crown in 18-carat white gold are adorned with diamonds, adding luminous brilliance to this poetic complication.
Inside beats the L.U.C 96.31-L calibre, a self-winding movement with a Four Seasons module, offering a 65-hour power reserve thanks to Chopard Twin Technology. Entirely developed and assembled in-house, it exemplifies the maison’s unrivalled savoir-faire.
Completing the creation, four interchangeable alligator straps reflect the colours of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, allowing the wearer to attune their watch to the seasons.
Issued in just 25 pieces, the IMPERIALE Four Seasons is not merely a timepiece — it is a lyrical ode to time, nature, and enduring artistry.
