Faces of Nature: Five Watches with Dials Inspired by the Natural World
Watch dials have undeniably gotten more colorful in recent years, but even beyond expanding the palette of tones and textures, some watchmakers have turned to the flora and fauna of the natural world for inspiration. Here are five watches that bring organic and environmental motifs to the wrist.
CHOPARD ALPINE EAGLE CADENCE 8HF
Chopard?s Alpine Eagle collection combines the design DNA of its first sports watch, the 1970s St. Moritz, with a modern, organically textured dial motif that evokes the iris of an eagle?s eye. The most recent addition to the avian-themed family, the Cadence 8HF, represents two firsts: the first Alpine Eagle in titanium rather than Chopard?s proprietary Lucent steel or ethically sourced gold, and the first use of the ultra-high frequency movement, Caliber 01.12-C, within the new collection. The movement achieves its astounding 57,600-vph (8 Hz) frequency via the use of silicon for many of its high-friction parts. Along with the eagle-iris pattern, and the eagle-feather counterweight on the seconds hand, the dial is notable for its new Vals Grey color, inspired by the rooftops of an alpine village. The 41-mm case connects to an integrated bracelet with a sophisticated array of finishes. Price: $19,000, limited edition of 250 pieces.
