Chopard Imperiale Four Seasons

Since its inception in 1994, the Imperiale collection has embodied Chopard’s vision of regal elegance and horological excellence. In 2025, this iconic collection welcomes a new chapter with the introduction of a poetic complication: the Imperiale Four Seasons, a timepiece that captures the eternal rhythm of nature through the artistry of watchmaking.

At the heart of this creation lies a rotating disc that completes a full revolution over 365 days, evoking the gentle cycle of the seasons. Crafted in painted textured mother-of-pearl marquetry, this miniature tableau is a moving landscape, shifting subtly with time. The disc is ingeniously indexed to the hour hand — a seamless fusion of mechanical ingenuity and poetic expression.

The dial is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Its upper half is adorned with ethical 18-carat white gold lace, sculpted into the delicate silhouette of a lotus flower — a recurring motif in the Imperiale collection, also echoed in the shape of the crown. Satin-finished gold petals with polished veins create a striking contrast of textures, while the lower dial reveals a painted mother-of-pearl marquetry gradient that evokes the changing hues of the natural world.

The 18-carat white gold case, bezel and crown are adorned with diamonds, enhancing the timepiece’s luminous presence.

Inside this radiant creation beats the L.U.C 96.31-L movement — a self-winding mechanical calibre equipped with the exclusive Four Seasons module. Comprising 227 components, it offers a generous 65-hour power reserve – thanks to Chopard Twin Technology – and is entirely developed and assembled in-house, a testament to Chopard’s vertical integration and horological savoir-faire.

The Imperiale Four Seasons is delivered with four interchangeable alligator leather straps, each reflecting the palette of a different season, allowing the wearer to harmonise their timepiece with the world around them.

Issued in a limited edition of 25 pieces, this creation is more than a timepiece – it is a lyrical celebration of time, nature, and Chopard’s enduring artistry.
