LOL 😂
Trololo
Lmao how long have you been holding that back? 😂
As a kid who grew up during the Pokémon boom don’t get me started on how often I have heard this… haha
🤣 as a kid of the 90s, this made me EL OH EL.
Now THIS is the video I needed in my life! Chopard does not get the love it deserves and the Alpine Eagle is the ONE! I love the dial and I think it has so much character. Gorgeous video as always Teddy !
Beats a moon swatch eh brit ;)
Joking aside I did like your take on it
Thanks Britt! Keep up the good work. You are rolling right now!
@@TeddyBaldassarre ahhh thabk you so much lovely. 💕✨
Enough with the azzlking, we dont wanna spend 10k on watch
13k? No way!
It's not under-appreciated for that price..it's pricing itself out of contention.
Thank you for showcasing this brand. Up til now I would not have looked as closely at the brand and would have mistakenly label it as a "fashion watch" brand, but now I see they are truly on par with the heavy-hitters of horology.
I’m impressed that the camera crew is able to fully expose the background and the subject(teddy) at the same time. It’s either the camera is taking HDR shots or the studio light is on high intensity(notice your forearm shadows on the table).
I am glad this is noticed. The amount of light that is needed in front of me is pretty crazy. It essentially needs to win the battle with the sun in order to pull off the shot properly. It is a challenge to light to say the least.
Showed this watch to my brother (who was looking at the AP Royal Oak) and he loved it. Was so impressed with the fit and finish of this watch that he bought one with the new pine-green dial. It is a gorgeous piece!
Something else to think about especially in a world that is ever decreasing in its lack of ethics and morals is that this brand is the industry leader in its ethical and environmental sourcing of materials and its dedication in creating an excellent work environment for its employees. Plus,at least here in Vienna you can actually walk into the dealer and pick up a steel sports watch and walk out with it if not the same day then within a couple of weeks,try that with the usual suspects!
Facts
I was in Switzerland in May and came within sooooo close to buying this with the blue dial. It's still very high on my list. Between this and the GP Laureato I think the Chopard wins
Get it! I got one, and do not regret one bit.
The GP logo puts me off, chopard indefinitely
Looks ugly on wrist
I’ve love this watch since it hit the market a few years ago. Its finishing is just wonderful and its dial is spectacular. Best of all is that you won’t see it on everyone else’s wrist. That gets so trite in some circles with some watches. It’s nice to have something that says that you’re an individual.
Chopard is a fantastic watchmaker and one of the best cost to values in the whole industry. But if you get one make sure you really, really like it because they are nearly impossible to sell if you want to flip it (speaking from personal experience).
Good idea to buy used? Hmm.
Have you tried to flip this specific model? How’s the experience? Did you ended up selling it with massive loss?
Chopard is amazing, and this watch is fantastic. You can pair with their jewelry and get a gorgeous look. Thank you Teddy!
I think this watch has a character of its own and needs to be appreciated for what its DNA has developed into. Obviously, each one of us could say what we'd do differently if we had our own watch company. I think brands express their style diversity by developing different concepts, albeit at times resembling others, by gradually maturing their prowess in a tight horological space. Chopard isn't featured as much as some of the other top players, but the Alpine Eagle certainly holds its own. Teddy, videos like this that discover a brand's heritage are much appreciated.
Hi teddy,
Would you say the alpine eagle or the laureato is better? Please don’t be diplomatic in your answer. Thank you.
This watch is without doubt, much more watch for the money compared to Nautilus, Royal Oak. Honestly, PP, AP is over rated & charge way too much $$ for watches that are just a tier down from Rolex in mass production especially when compared to brands like A Lange et Sohnne, FP Journe,
This watch caught my eye on the wrist of Ryan Reynolds in the movie "6 Underground" I believe it was the Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio Speciale, very cool!
This is a stunning watch, and I also love their Mille Miglia Chrono's with their connection to the race in Italy. If I had to choose between this and a GP Laureato, I woulid probably go for the Laureato.
I have a Millie Miglia GMT, such a wonderful watch. Yes it has a base ETA 7754 but it's been modified beyond just a nice rota.
Agreed. I have a Mille Miglia titanium silver Dial. Some will laugh, but I think prettier than a Daytona. Chopard are slept on watches. I'm OK with that.
At least the screws are lined up on the bezel😂
Can’t say that about hublot😒
@ Can you limit your assburgers to some smart watches channel, please?
I have the 2-tone version of the Alpine Eagle and I absolutely love it. The gray dial pops even more when you contrast it with the rose gold of the 2-tone case. Its a watch that will be in my collection for a long time.
I got the blue. Worth the $
My Mille Miglia is my favorite watch, and I have several to choose from.
Chopard is top shelf all the way.
mechanical watches are essentially men's jewelry at this point, so why not get a watch from an actual jewelry brand
I was waiting to see the price thinking it was gonna be like $1-2k…. But $13k for this thing?? Not so sure about that one.
Bruh, I was keeping this watch as a secret to myself to buy soon. Hopefully the prices don't skyrocket now, lol.
As long as you like the butthole dial lol
You snooze you lose
The large Retail $13,100 when it first came out to about last year. The retail now is $13,400 on their website.
I tried it and had some serious problems with it. 1- the dial is too small in proportion to the watch, needs to have at least 2mm bigger dial. 2 the bracelet makes it worse, starts very wide and not tapered enough so it feels so bulky with a tiny dial. With these two adjustments I would definitely want to buy it
I feel the same...the dial is just too small compared with the bezel. The dial texture is spectacular and I recommend to everyone to see it in the flesh, the video can't convey it.
The bracelet is wide feeling. I like the more aggressive taper feel of the Rolex and Zenith type watches, not really the wider Longines and Omega Seamaster diver bracelets.
Thanks for this great vid, again. Chopard is a really respectable and underrated brand. I'm a little disappointed about the movement and it's finish in this price range. Poorly, this is was a Show Stopper for me.
Thank you Teddy. If possible, could you may be make a segment on comparing LUC'S Seal of Genieve movement Teddy to that of a Lange Saxonia for example. I like LUC's XPS but a Lange is A Lange. Thank you.
Chopard is too often overlooked as a serious watch brand, with "experts" and collectors viewing the marque as a jewelry company. They disregard the legacy and watchmaking history of some marvellous watches, both dress and sports styles. I love the Mille Miglia range for its motorsports connections.
It is a similar case like the Gerard Perregaux: two integrated bracelet from the Royal Oak age, meaning early to mid 70s. Impossible to avoid comparisons.
13000$? No - thank you, but no 😅
Around 10000$ on the grey market is also to much I think.
Could be a option for me around 7k I think, but not more.
I have the blue dial version and love it to this date. The craftsmanship is superb compared to those hyped sport watches on market. Looking forward to getting the new one with the LUC caliber.🎉
well the price is not Underrated though
Great video. Alpine eagle isn't my favorite but I love Chopard as a brand. As you say, super underrated. Last year I picked up an LUC sport 2000, in-house micro rotor, great finishing, for 5K. Such good deals, especially pre-owned.
Teddy,great video, well done. Yea Rolex, Holt Trinity, are always reviewed. But Chopard reflects a classic watch, for mature buyers not status screaming Rolexes. Well done
500% true. No scream, no prove for anyone.
Weird that you talk about Chopard all of a sudden. By the way you never talk about the french brands like Yema, Lip, Pequignet, Dodane and so on. I mean if your were the specialist you pretend to be, you could not ignore the most popular french brands unless it's on purpose.
Chopard sure is an underrated brand and for me the LUC Quattro Spirit 25 is their true hidden gem. As for the Alpine Eagle, like you Teddy, I like the « grey » dial better than the blue one.
Stunning watch, I'd love to own one. Thanks Teddy for again introducing us to brands like this.
I tried this one on and it's great. I would have liked a better clasp release. The friction fit is a bit pedestrian.
I had the same impression. The friction fit clasp is a deal killer.
The newest examples have a twin trigger lock on the clasp. I’m wearing one now!
underrated? maybe, underappreciated? yes, overpriced? definitely.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

I absolutely love Chopard's movements - look at those massive screws, it's all muscle which I love seeing in mechanics! Great stuff!
There are some brands, like Chopard, that you wonder how they are still in business given their price point and lack of popularity
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Chopard is big in Asia
hi, teddy. I love your channel, the style of your watches and your good technical knowledge. What can you tell me about Yema watches, made in France and with very attractive proposals. I'd like to know your opinion, if you have a few minutes. Thank you for your work
You should see the special editions like the wempe boutique edition with the white dial, or my favourite the Maritime Blue Seaside boutique. So electric!
Thank you for this review. Fantastic wristwatch and really underrated! The bracelet is something special and unique!! So beautiful like a jewelry ❤️ Exceptional quality! 👍🤘💪👏
Thanks for watching and showing love.

You had me at independent. Gotta support brands that are not part of a great hive.
Hello Teddy,
Can you tell me the difference between Sea gull 1963 - 19 and Seagull 21 wich you Can Buy on Amazon ?
It's a beautiful watch and I was sorely tempeted to buy it when I tried on the blue dial variant a year ago. But at this price point I think it needs a gold rotor at the back. If JLC can do it for a watch that costs half as much, so can Chopard. It may sound weird that I am griping about such an inconsequential thing, but this watch's selling point is CLEARLY the jewelry-like design and the impeccable mirror finish. Then why not add a touch of precious metal?
because when you wear this, you cant see the movement, so its pointless? Thats my guess
maybe because it is COSC so it has a premium price
It's tungsten, which is the same density as gold, but obviously much cheaper. Same functionality, but I agree, a little lame
The pronunciation of the German owner family Scheufele is "Shoy-fell-le". "Shoy" as in "boy" and "le" as in "e-le-phant".
Is it just me or does the Zenith Defy Classic Blue look better at 1/3 the cost? Even the bracelet and case finishing looks better on the Zenith.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Design ugly and unoriginal with many elements taken from the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The thinness and case size are probably the two standout features. Personally I think Chopard should just stick to making jewellery and maybe women’s watches that’s where I see them doing well. Men’s watches, nah ; I don’t think so, at least I would not buy one.
I didn't get why it's priced at 14k.
I like the Mille Miglia Chronographs
Yet another watch among many that look like an Offshore and Nautilus, boring. Why I haven’t gotten an Offshore because all these watch companies took the design and there is nothing unique any more about it.
I don’t like the screws, the thickness of the bezel, but dam the dials on these make me want one anyway. Amazing dial.
Great video. Been eyeing one of these for a while now. Planning on pulling the trigger next year for celebrating a sepcial milestone in my life.
have you pulled the trigger mate?
I have seen multiple alpine eagles and owned one also, the third index on the 3 always looks tilted differently than the other two...for all of them...
Damn .. from a far it's looks just like Hublot... If you're know what I'm talking about.
Beautiful dial. Used I seen them for 8-9 grand. That's now a great deal. Not new though
I would hate to unsubscribe to this channel if it turns out to be a scam and wouldn’t trust anything he puts out and his opinions would me nothing. And I would tell everyone to stay away from this channel
This is one of the best new watch releases IMO in the last few years. It's a stunning piece for Chopard and while expensive it's still coming in cheaper than some alternatives in this similar style from Patek or AP. I'm sure it's not for everyone as it's not all that original in it's design but it's a damn nice watch.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Its underrated for a reason. It just doesnt look good aesthetically. I tried it on my wrist and it is really ugly as hell. No wonder its priced below retail.
Great video yet again! Stunning videography to capture the beauty and depth of that dial. I gave the Alpine Eagle some recent consideration, along with the GP Laureato 42 mm, before deciding to go with a discontinued Date Just. All sporty but with dressy versatility, in my opinion. Chopard definitely has credibility over in Europe. My brother-in-law works for a Swiss company and recently brought me back a Watches magazine with the blue flying tourbillon model on the cover. Definitely not fashion watches!
I once owned a Happy Diamond ladies gold watch, lost it in Paris in the 80s hmmm or was it L.A
Send a direct msg>> for more information
Lovely piece. Chopard has a lot of amazing watches in their catalog. Incredible craftsmanship and horology.
bought this just a week ago and, well, naturally I'm in love with this piece. kind of pleasant to see a review of it cuz seems only a few watch youtube channels mention this...
same
Great independent brand, though selfishly I’d prefer they stayed less well known until I can afford one!
13Κ?? are you serious??? and its Underrated ??? with this price you can get some models of OMEGA, ROLEX, JLC or almost any ZENITH, BREITLING in order to name few brands. Or (even better )to buy a GRAND SEIKO along with a chinese tourbillon watch. You know, i suspect that you are promoting some items from your internet store even if you mislead the people who watch your videos
Thanks for watching and showing love.

I love mine in 36mm in rose gold, its a outstanding watch.
Why are so many watch content creators switching from a branded channel name to their actual names suddenly? Guess Teddy was ahead of the game.
Absolutely love this watch and not sure why it’s not on more peoples radar 🔥
Hello Teddy, this is Cheick from Africa in Congo Republic.
The reason I'm texting you is that I'm running our family owned jewelry business 4th generation, I'd love to get into watches so I'd like to ask you some few questions if you could help.
1. What do I need to get into watches
2. How do you price watches and how do I know watche prices and market value, have been looking for websites like kitco for gold but haven't found any
3. Which management software can I use to run reports
4. Where do I source watches
5. By the way I'm 21, and you inspired me a lot. I'd love to meet you one day
Waiting for your reply, I'd really appreciate your help
PEOPLE PLEASE - this 1970s design trend will end. And when it does there are gonna be a lot of people holding watches that they overpaid for and don't look that good... I'm not saying don't buy a Royal Oak or Nautilus at retail if you can get one. But all of these alternate versions - Alpine Eagle, PRX, Laureato, etc will not look good in about 3-5 years.
I wish they made one in rose gold with a brown dial.
Butthole watch.
Love the tone on tone Chopard Alpine Eagle!
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
It’s a nice piece but the price point is a challenge for what you get. I think the finishing of the movement could be better especially at this price point.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Disappointed in this poorly researched video. Superficial explanation of the chopard brand. Also, totally skips over the 8379 St Moritz model that the alpine eagle evolved from. Ted should stop loafing around with Mr. Wonder ful and make serious content again.
He specifically mentioned the St. Moritz.
I own a blue face alpine eagle, never knew there was a quick release function with the bracelet. Funny how they don’t even offer leather strap or rubber strap with quick release system.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

I didn't know about Chopard until one of their watches showed up on "Crash landing on you" - a Korean Comedy/Drama. As far as this watch goes, I love the dial. The swirls actually remind me of feathers, hence the Alpine "Eagle"
I have that watch (Grigio)before that drama aired, i use it as my daily. I love Chopard, didnt even know they make jewellry.
I agree with you 99% of the time, Teddy. But doesn't it wear larger than a 40mm because of the flaired lugs?
If that 41mm didn't wear like a 44mm I would have left the store with it. The lugs flair too much. It's horrendously big.. I'll look at the 36mm.
Editing: does it wear like a 40 in your opinion because of the integrated bracelet? The only integrated bracelet that I loved was the Omega Constellation 38mm, and obv the Royal Oak 37mm (always felt they wore like a 38-39).
Just watched again... Maybe I'm off bc of the 23mm bracelet on why it wears bigger?
The lug to lug is so perfect.
I'm very glad to see this particular brand and watch on your Channel Teddy.
I'm hoping you'll make more videos on brands like Chopard; brands in the medium to high hourology market that are under appreciated or simply less known.
I was just telling my wife I need to research Chopard, thanks Teddy.
Beautiful but like the Laureato it is just too similar to the Royal Oak.
this is one of my favs but im not a fan of the dial. a plane dial would good.
A scammer has respond to my comment and i respond by saying they are just as bad as Barbara Streisand (this has to do with the fact that Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, really hate her). Don't be fooled, don't respond to them, instead report them, as i said they are just as bad as Barbara Streisand, Teddy won't ask you to use the Telegram app to text him. Also, Teddy, do you like South Park or Eurovision or both?
For 10K I'd go with the Speedy Moonwatch Professional and then combine it with a BB 58.
For $13K there are tons of options with useful complications out there that would easily outperform this watch. This is a no for me 😂
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Chopard is criminally under discussed and under promoted. The lack of awareness amongst the broader watch audience is always surprising.
That said, if you’re a person like me who builds their watch case through the pre-owned channel - and buys watches to own and wear, not invest and flip, that lack of awareness helps because they end up being a fantastic buy because of depreciation.
Not very long ago I secured a Monaco Historique in Titanium and Rose Gold for significantly LESS that a standard stainless steel sports watch of the same basic positioning and design from any of the big premium marques.
It’s rare you can find a titanium case and a precious metal anything for the price of a couple of Longines.
Teddy i need your help finding my next watch. I have a tissot gentleman black dial, s3iko solar ssc769 chronograph and the orient kamasu. I was thinking about the junghans max bill or even form c to save some money but what do you think? Another diver, maybe another dress? Anywhere between 400 and 1200 for my next range
Thanks for the great video!
I like the design of the watch, and would prefer the blue dial. But imo, the piece is too pricey for what it is. No precious metals, nada… and the price on the Grey is 30% below retail. For the retail price it has, I’d rather choose a bicolor Rolex.
This watch definitely deserves more love! My favorite luxury sports watch!
Nice looking watch, except that the date window position is horrible. Why do so many watch manufacturers these days put the date window in the 4/5 o'clock position?
Also, if i sound like i am dissing on Barbara Streisand by comparing her to those scammer, keep in mind that i am a South Park fan, i hate her because Stan and The Boys (which sound like a good band name, by the way) doesn't deserve to be tortured by her singing voice.
Wow a lot of Americans don't know about this brand . Here in india it's a known brand to Every watch enthusiast . I think it's just like rado unknown to American territory
Love the Alpine Eagle however I'm only aware of it because of a homage to it! Incredible dial on these and truly a hidden gem in the market
The Turkish watch channel had some red dial versions commissioned and I think there’s a second possibly blue dial version in addition to the original grey. It’s LU Chopard. Not LUC Chopard. They are better than Patek. They make 65K watches a year and with the new factory they’ve just finished and opened: it will be in excess of 65K soon.
I remember the white Gold with baguette diamond bezel Grand Cru watch. Highly finished and about the same as a precious metal Sky Dweller £35K.
Breguet
Blancpain Fifty Farhoms and Villeret
Omega Planet Ofeab
Glashütte Original Sea Q Panorama Date
Cartier
Panerai
IWC
Hublot
Are some brands I’d get instead of Rolex
And of course Chopard.
Don't get me wrong I like alpine eagle, but one of my friends pointed out that the dial structure looks like an asshole. Something I can't make unseen at this point.
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Is it just me, or are the three markers that make up the Roman III misaligned? The top looks shorter/middle longer on the left hand side, or misplaced.
Tim on your recent reviews that included micro brands and independants you made no reference to RGM. There’s no question he makes the best American watches. I know you have done a Video at his shop but really you need to promote him more than you do. He is the best
Chopard is a lady brand dont buy this kaind of watches its not worth it buy Genuine brnd rolex JLC omega AP Patek GS zineth also iwc breitling and other good brand
The bracelet seems stiff, the links make an unnatural angle between them, as if there's too much friction. They don't flow.
The only beautyfull part on the watch is the bracelet in my opinion sorry.
The St.Moritz was a way better choice.
Thanks for watching and showing love.
