An authentic classic by Chopard, the Imperiale watch now welcomes a new variation highlighting the ultimate imperial colour, purple.
When the codes of contemporary elegance draw inspiration from the grandeur of the Roman empire, a true classic is in the making. The Imperiale watch distils a wealth of details representing subtle nods to the finest hours of the imperial age.
Noble Roman numerals frame the delicately engraved dial centre that evokes the motifs of the embroidered cushions on which monarchs used to place their royal insignia. The shape of the lugs is reminiscent of traditional ancient columns famed for their perfectly balanced proportions, while the curve of the hands recalls the sharp daggers used by sovereigns in combat.
Purple, the ultimate imperial colour, makes its grand entry on this new model, echoing the cabochon-cut amethyst shaped like a lotus flower and adorning the crowns of the Imperiale models. In this instance it is associated with steel cases topped by polished or diamond-set bezels, lending a blend of strength and modernity to these new timepieces complemented by a purple alligator leather strap.
IMPERIALE JEWELLERY
To accompany these horological creations, Chopard also introduced long ear pendants that are both sophisticated and contemporary, with a design inspired by the motif adorning the watch dials. Dainty diamond-set 18-carat white gold ‘cages’ surround facetted amethysts or gently clasp long drop-shaped amethysts.
