Paying tribute to both the longstanding partnership between Chopard and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons and the importance of birds of prey within Middle Eastern culture, the Alpine Eagle 41 Darshan, limited to just 25 pieces, is a slate-stone-hued marvel. Named after the eagle that achieved the highest bird flight ever recorded from a manmade structure by swooping down from the Burj Khalifa in 2015, the precision of its Chopard 01.15-C chronometer movement and the brightness of the Maison’s signature Lucent Steel are sleek reminders of the awesome power of these impressive creatures. They may prove to be as fleeting as the eagle itself, so if you want to get your hands on one you’d better move as swiftly as a bird on the wing.
