Chopard Lucent Steel A223: an Alchemist’s quest

When it comes to a timepiece as iconic as the Alpine Eagle, material matters. Developed especially for this soon-to-be legendary design, Chopard Lucent Steel A223 is a metal as precious as gold. Revered for its superior functionality and signature incandescence, this unique material is the fruit of four years of tireless research.

To bring the Alpine Eagle purpose to life, Chopard has created a new material that is as rich, precious and complex as gold, transforming the dream of Renaissance alchemists into glowing reality. Chopard Lucent Steel A223 is a steel resulting from a re-smelting process featuring three unique characteristics. Developed exclusively in-house by Chopard, Lucent Steel A223 is a metal like no other. REACH-certified and ethically produced, this unique and precious metal is the product of four years of tireless research. Special care was taken in order to ensure that the material used to craft the Alpine Eagle was not only beautiful but extremely high-performance. Uniquely durable, Chopard Lucent Steel A223 is 50% harder and significantly less scratch resistant than other steels. It is also antiallergenic, making it comparable in quality to surgical steel. But all this function would be nothing without form. Chopard Lucent Steel A223 is perhaps most prized for its signature lucent quality that gives the metal an ethereal incandescence.

Contemporary, refined and assertive, the new Alpine Eagle sports chic timepiece collection is a state-of-the-art reinterpretation of the St. Moritz, the first watch created in 1980 by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, now co-president of Chopard. Imagined and personally designed by him, Alpine Eagle is driven by his passion for the Alps and by the lofty power of the eagle that reigns supreme there. Crafted from an exclusive, ultra-resistant and light-reflecting metal named Chopard Lucent Steel A223, it beats to the rhythm of a Chopard chronometer-certified movement. This new collection was born of four years of tireless research and three generations of savoir-faire. The Alpine Eagle collection has officially landed.

We are proud to announce our new commitment to protecting the Alpine environment through the launch of the Eagle Wings Foundation - of which Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is founding member.
