Introducing Chopard Alpine Eagle Sunburnt in Support of the Aboriginal Corporation
Introduced to the luxury sports watch scene in 2019, the Alpine Eagle draws inspiration from the original 1980s Chopard St. Moritz, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele’s inaugural watch creation. Since its debut, the Alpine Eagle has become an essential collection, offering authentic, contemporary, and highly compelling timepieces. For the new and distinctive Alpine Eagle Sunburnt, Chopard partnered with tattooist, punk musician and Indigenous artist Shaun Daniel Allen (Shal). A portion of the profits from this collaboration will support the programs of the Ngunya Jarjum Aboriginal Corporation in Australia.

Live from Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022, we talk with Chopard‘s Co-President Karl Friedrich Scheufele, who will introduce to us the impressive new L.U.C collection, with no fewer than 3 chiming watches.

First Look: The new Doxa SUB 300T Sharkhunter Clive Cussler
Nothing does more for a brand's image than having a famous name spontaneously endorse your product. Although Doxa was not the first Swiss brand to produce a professional dive watch, it was the first to introduce a dive watch with a unidirectional rotating bezel to ensure safe no-decompression ascents in 1967. Doxa's SUB 300, with its massive tonneau-shaped case, rotating unidirectional bezel and bright orange dial, won the patronage of diving legend Jacques Cousteau and his team of Calypso divers. Another fan of the SUB 300 was American novelist Clive Cussler, whose character Dirk Pitt wore an orange dial SUB 300 on his adventures. Cussler, a passionate shipwreck hunter, would have celebrated his 93rd birthday today, and Doxa celebrates with a new special edition, the SUB 300T Sharkhunter Clive Cussler.?Acclaimed American adventure novelist Clive Cussler (1931-2020)Clive Cussler's (1931-2020) most famous character is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer, government agent and intrepid adventure
