‪@chopard‬ #chopard #chopardalpineeagle #monochromewatches
A cool luxury sports watch design with an integrated bracelet, a lightweight case in titanium and a dial with a striking texture… But also a movement with a very fast frequency. We’re taking a closer look at the Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF, and also discuss why hi-beat movements matter.
Today, we'll be taking a closer look at a rather fascinating watch, the Alpine Eagle of Chopard. Launched in 2021, this is the brand's take on the ultra-hype luxury sports watch category, watches with a sporty-chic attire and an integrated bracelet. And as of now, you should be familiar with this collection... Yet, today, we're not looking at any Alpine Eagle. We're looking at the Cadence 8HF version, a watch that ranks high due to three specificities; it's entirely made out of lightweight titanium; it comes with a sleek black dial; it is powered by an in-house movement that runs at a 8Hz frequency, or 57,600 vibrations/hour.
And this leads us to another question. What exactly is a high-frequency watch, or a high-beat movement? How does this translate technically? What are the advantages of a high-frequency movement? What are the disadvantages of a high-frequency watch? Well, before we review the Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF, this is what we'll discuss in detail.
