Chopard Launched the Chopard Chinese Name for Alpine Eagle Collection Created by Labbrand Overview

Chopard, known as the Artisan of Emotions since 1860, is a family-run watchmaking and jewelry company. Nurtured by boundless creativity, Chopard belongs to the Grand Luxury Maisons offering a complete collection of watches and jewelry crafted with emotions. 

Launched in October 2019, The Alpine Eagle Collection under Chopard is a state-of-the-art reinterpretation of the St. Moritz, the first sports watch in the brand history. With the passion towards nature and the spirit of innovation, this collection presents a design that is both refined and contemporary, featuring a wealth of references to the Alpine eagle and its biotope.

Labbrand, is commissioned by Chopard on the Chinese name creation for the Alpine Eagle timepiece collection, to better facilitate the local communications in the Chinese market.

This final name 雪山傲翼 [xuě shān ào yì] is a creative elaboration of “Alpine Eagle”, concise and elegant. 雪山 [xuě shān] (snow/mountain) well captures the majestic snow mountain top which is in line with the Chinese perception of the Alps. As a symbol that has strong associations with “eagle” in the Chinese culture, 傲翼 [ào yì] (proud/wings) interprets the definition of “eagle” in a more imaginative and charismatic way compared to the literal translation 鹰 [yīng] (eagle).

Perfectly balancing sophistication and simplicity, the Chinese name 雪山傲翼 [xuě shān ào yì] paints vivid imagery of an eagle flying proudly above the snowy mountain range and celebrates the strength and true spirit of the Alpine Eagle Collection—contemporary, refined and assertive.
