A gold case with a curving caseband, a lotus-shaped crown, lugs inspired by ancient columns, roman numerals and dagger-sharp hands… The IMPERIALE watch, a classic Chopard model redesigned in 2010, adopts softly shimmering mother-of-pearl dials in white, powder pink and lavender blue versions, along with satin straps in matching colours. Enthroned in the dial center is the collection’s signature motif inspired by the embroidered insignia that used to adorn royal hangings and cushions. On the particularly voluptuous new jewelry creations – rings, earrings and a pendant necklace – the pink or white gold décor studded with diamonds stands out above a voluminous fine stone or traces the outlines of four gems. All are amethysts, the ultimate imperial stone because of their purple color.
