The Alpine Eagle has landed
Chopard’s watch division announced the arrival of the new Alpine Eagle sports chic timepiece collection for men. The new Alpine Eagle is a reinterpretation of the St. Moritz, the first watch created in 1980 by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, now co-president of Chopard.
Alpine Eagle gives the luxury Maison an opportunity to reveal its new commitment to protecting the Alpine environment through the launch of the Eagle Wings Foundation – of which Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is founding member.
Imagined and personally designed by him, Alpine Eagle is driven by his passion for the Alps and by the lofty power of the eagle that reigns supreme there. Crafted from an exclusive, ultra-resistant and light-reflecting metal named Lucent Steel A223, it beats to the rhythm of a Chopard chronometer-certified movement.
“Alpine Eagle is dedicated to contemporary eagles, the aspiring men who outperform in their daily lives and whose vision inspires and elevates. With foresight and determination, they act on the challenges of tomorrow and are innately aware of the importance of environmental issues,” said Chopard in a statement.

Garden of Delights the first Gucci High Jewelry collection by Alessandro Michele on display at Hôtel de La Salle, Paris 2019 July; @gucci
Crafted by hand, some of the 200 Hortus Deliciarum High Jewelry pieces inspired by a mythical garden debuted in Gucci’s first high jewelry boutique on 16 Place Vendôme in Paris.
Luminous, individual, the new Hortus Deliciarum high jewelry collection presented during Couture Week in Paris is focused on three themes: Animal Kingdom, Hearts & Arrows, and Solitaires. Striking solitaire rings are paired with gilded cuffs, one of a kind pieces, majestic animals, and allusions to Gucci’s costume jewellery.
“Within these lines we find foliate motifs necklaces and chandelier earrings which refer to the current trend for grandiose Rococo and Baroque inspired jewellery. Contrasting colours of cabochon gemstones and chain link diamond pavé necklaces with animal motifs also keep the collection fashionable and of the moment,” wrote jewelry expert katerinaperez.com.
“Hearts & Arrows, pays homage to undying love in all its forms, with sparkling hearts crossed with plume-tipped sagittate arrows, and coming-of-age tiaras,” wrote harpersbazaar.com.

The collection features Gucci symbols cast with precious metals and stones. A lion’s head in a white gold bracelet and ring reveals colored tourmalines, garnets, amethysts and opals; other luxury pieces crafted with a heart and arrow gleam with blue sapphires and diamonds.
“This being Gucci, though, there isn’t a diamond in sight. Instead, fiery orange mandarin garnets, blush-pink topaz, rich red rubellites and mint-green tourmalines take centre stage in this magical garden,” wrote thejewelleryeditor.com
“It’s a bold, brilliant and slightly bonkers collection that will appeal to the growing legion of Gucci aficionados who adore Michele’s gloriously off-kilter take on fashion.”
English musician, singer, songwriter, producer and poet Florence Welch performed at the Petit Palais in Paris to celebrate the opening of Gucci Vendôme, wearing a Gucci Cruise 2020 plissé crêpe voile gown, a ring in yellow gold with yellow beryl and sapphires and a ring in yellow gold, garnet and diamonds from the new Gucci High Jewelry collection.
The most notable thing about this high jewellery collection, added Katerina Perez, is undoubtedly the vivid, almost neon saturation of colour in the gemstones which Gucci has employed. Renowned for his passion for jewellery and poetic vision, Alessandro Michele has personally sourced unique stones for his first fine jewellery collection.

The new Les Ciels de Chaumet High Jewellery collection by Chaumet tells a four-part story about the multiple metamorphoses of the sky.
Ever since the nineteenth century, Chaumet Maison has created jewellery inspired by the heavens and illuminating the beauty of women. Tiaras, headpieces, brooches, devants de corsage, necklaces and pendant earrings bear witness to this creative passion, rich in observation, invention and symbolic force.
Les Ciels de Chaumet High Jewellery reinterprets with virtuosity stars, shining suns, crescent moons and planets; @chaumet.com
While in Monaco for the inauguration of our exhibition Chaumet in Majesty, Chaumet’s latest High Jewellery collection Les Ciels de Chaumet was presented inside the prestigious Princess Grace Suite, with the gleaming Mediterranean as a backdrop.
“Our gala dinner celebrating the exhibition opening was held inside the Casino de Monte-Carlo, a staple of Monaco nightlife. Inside the breathtaking Salle Médecin, our guests discovered first-hand our High Jewellery collections with the skies of Chaumet as the backdrop”
A poetic and vivid theme par excellence, the new Les Ciels de Chaumet collection pays tribute to the dialogue that the Maison has carried on with the arts since it was founded in 1780. From the twirling suns of Van Gogh, through the flocks of wading birds on Japanese prints, to the swirling skies of Turner, the sky has always inspired the most beautiful creations. Following the lead of the great masters, Chaumet Maison reinterprets with virtuosity stars, shining suns, crescent moons and planets, as well as the graceful multitude of birds who inhabit the skies. This is a celebration in four chapters of firmament femininity.

Lueurs d’Orage
In the stormy sky, the sun’s rays shine through the clouds and endow the landscape with a unique colouring for a fleeting instant. Inspired by a changing sky swept by the wind, the Lueurs d’Orage necklace combines the colours of sapphires, amethysts, tanzanites and an exceptional imperial topaz. Like a burst of celestial light, this spectacular 37.68-carat gem can be detached from the necklace to be worn on a shorter chain or clipped to a diamond necklace. After the storm, the clouds take on an aureate glow that reveals the luminosity of golden yellow sapphires from Sri Lanka. With harmonious soft curves and steely rays, the Nuages d’Or creations are graphic jewels with great lightness.

The burning sun, star of the day or wrapped in nocturnal hues…
Les Couleurs du Ciel are variations on the multiple facets of the king of stars. While a solar and sovereign femininity radiates from the Soleil Glorieux creations, Soleil de Feu re-creates the intensity of the sun at its zenith. An image of the last highlights of the setting sun on the shadowy water of the coming night, the shades of spinels from Tanzania and Vietnam, ranging from blue to red, through green and yellow, compose a parure shaded with the tones of rare colours. A 6.29-carat chrysoberyl in absinthe green accents the spectacular bracelet, which is fully articulated, in a sumptuous display of the Maison’s virtuosity.
Les Fulgurances du Ciel – Chaumet Les Ciels de Chaumet 2019 ; @chaumet.com
Les Fulgurances du Ciel pay tribute to the essence of High Jewellery, to the art of highlighting gemstones that make women glow on festive evenings.
A motif that has been present for over two hundred years in the Maison’s creations, the star is adorned with the purity of diamonds. The dancing undulation of a starry cascade, the perfect positioning of stars on a tiara and the luminous caress of these earrings illustrate the mastery of a Maison that is faithful to its tradition of excellence. Like comets streaking across the sky, emphasizing its immensity with their luminous glow, the Passages jewels reinterpret these fascinating heavenly bodies with extraordinary black opals from Australia. In their wake, trails of pastel tourmalines add a finishing touch to a virtuoso creation and reveal the queen of the night with their brilliance.

The airy grace
Dear to the naturalist vocabulary of the Maison, the exotic birds that fly through the sky incarnate an airy grace and take the imagination on a journey toward a horizon of symbols and poetry. Adorned with green tsavorite garnets that come, like migratory birds, from Africa, the swallows of the Envol jewellery add new enchantment to Chaumet’s celestial bestiary. Rare and mystical, the dancing waders of Parade lend their slender elegance to a delightful parure, a haiku of magical charm. Their ballet is enhanced with diamonds and pink and yellow sapphires. Paying tribute to a Japonism stemming from the Maison’s historic creativity, the Parade parure is a compendium of Chaumet virtuosity.
