Chopard Caliber 01.12-C powers the Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF
Like its predecessor, this watch is also chronometer certified, further adding to its reliability and exclusivity and guaranteeing to some extent its exceptional performance. I feel that the C.O.S.C., which officially certifies Swiss chronometers, should have more stringent requirements for high-frequency movements as right now they are tested the same way run-of-the-mill 4 Hz movements are, while they should easily outperform them.
I doubt that will happen anytime soon as so few brands offer high-frequency movements and even fewer have them chronometer certified.

Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF
The Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF will remain a delicacy for the few at any rate since Chopard is only making 250 of them. For me, it is the most desirable version of the Alpine Eagle collection.
