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 line welcomes a new chapter with the introduction of a dreamy complication: the IMPERIALE Four Seasons, a timepiece capturing 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 hours hand in a seamless merging of mechanical ingenuity and poetic expression. The dial is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Its upper half is adorned with a lacework pattern in 18-carat ethical white gold, 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-brushed 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 luminous presence of this IMPERIALE timepiece.

The IMPERIALE Four Seasons is powered by 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 comes 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 as a 25-piece limited edition, this creation is more than just a watch, instead offering a lyrical celebration of time, Nature and Chopard’s enduring artistry.
