The Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP TimeForArt Edition is reference 298635-3001: a limited-edition, 41 mm Lucent Steel watch distinguished by a straw-marquetry dial and Chopard’s thin, self-winding L.U.C. 96.17-L movement. It is 8 mm thick, rated to 100 metres of water resistance and specified with an approximately 65-hour power reserve. Chopard’s displayed price varies by region, so buyers should confirm current pricing and availability with a boutique.
What is the Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP TimeForArt Edition?
Reference 298635-3001 is a limited-edition version of the Alpine Eagle 41 XP created for TimeForArt. Its defining feature is a brass-based dial decorated with straw marquetry, a craft Chopard described as a first for its watches when it introduced the piece in 2024. An artisan trained in the technique cuts and glues the straw into a pattern that, according to Chopard, evokes an eagle’s-eye view of New York, where the TimeForArt auction was to be held.

The dial craft gives this edition a different character from the Alpine Eagle’s more familiar textured dials, while the thin case and automatic L.U.C. movement preserve the 41 XP’s emphasis on a slim profile. Chopard describes the material choice as connecting the watch to nature and the Alpine environment; its statement is company copy, not an independent assessment of the dial’s symbolism.

What movement is in the Alpine Eagle 41 XP TimeForArt?
The watch uses Chopard’s L.U.C. 96.17-L, an automatic movement measuring 3.30 mm thick, with an off-centre 22-carat micro-rotor and two stacked barrels. Chopard’s Twin technology pairs the barrels to provide an approximately 65-hour power reserve. The movement runs at 4 Hz and has 29 jewels and 172 parts, according to Chopard.
The thin movement helps explain the watch’s 8 mm overall case thickness. The display back makes the movement visible, while the specified functions remain limited to hours and minutes rather than adding a date or chronograph.

What is the difference between the 2024 and 2026 Chopard TimeForArt watches?
The shared Alpine Eagle 41 XP and TimeForArt names can make the two watches easy to confuse, but they have different references and dial crafts.
| Edition | Reference and status | Dial and movement |
|---|---|---|
| TimeForArt edition introduced in 2024 | 298635-3001; limited edition | Brass-based straw-marquetry dial; L.U.C. 96.17-L |
| TimeForArt 2026 Edition 3 | 298635-3002; one-of-a-kind piece | Hand-engraved 18-carat Ethical white-gold dial; L.U.C. 96.17-L |
The 2026 Edition 3 is a separate watch, not a new dial variant or updated reference for the straw-marquetry 298635-3001. Its unique-piece description and white-gold dial belong only to reference 298635-3002.
What does TimeForArt support?
TimeForArt says 100% of auction proceeds directly enable Swiss Institute exhibitions, public programs, artist residencies, education and community-engagement workshops offered free to the public. That is the organizer’s description of how proceeds support the institute’s programming.
The organizer’s current homepage announces the 2026 auction in partnership with Phillips as part of The New York Watch Auction XV, scheduled for December 5, 2026, at 3 p.m. EST. The Chopard lot associated with that event is the separate 298635-3002 unique piece, not the 2024 straw-dial reference covered here.
