Caroline Scheufele, Co-president and artistic director of Chopard and Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-president of Chopard, winners of the Ladies’ Complication Watch Prize 2025

Chopard's IMPERIALE Four Seasons is a complication that transforms the eternal rhythm of nature into a living canvas on the wrist.

At its heart lies a rotating disc, completing a gentle revolution over the course of a year, mirroring the endless cycle of the seasons. Rendered in hand-painted mother-of-pearl marquetry, the disc shimmers with subtle gradations of colour, evolving with every passing hour. Ingeniously indexed to the hour hand, it is a rare fusion of mechanical mastery and poetic expression — time made tangible through art.

The dial itself is a marvel: its upper half crowned with a lacework lotus in ethical 18-carat white gold, a motif that has become the emblem of the IMPERIALE line. Satin-brushed petals with polished veins catch the light with sculptural elegance, while the lower half reveals a glowing marquetry tableau, evoking the changing hues of dawn, dusk, and the seasons in between. Diamonds illuminate the bezel, case, and crown, amplifying the luminous aura of this regal creation.
