CHOPARD HAUTE JOAILLERIE

Almost a decade ago, the grandfather of the current co-President and Artistic Directorof Chopard,Caroline Scheufeule, was already known for the quality of its gem-set watches.

This savoir faire has transcended generations, enshrining Chopard at the pinnacle of Haute Horlogerie for women. The Haute Joaillerie delights us with one of the emblems of the Swiss House, the revolutionary concept of the moving diamonds delights us with one of the emblems of the Swiss House, the revolutionary concept of the moving diamonds. This design worn by the three watches was invented in 1976. .

On the dial of the watch, five diamonds free of any setting spin merrily, both on themselves and around the entire watch, reflecting the light that embraces the diamonds. Inspired by a laurel wreath, the in-house craftsmen have included around the brilliant dial a set of marquise-cut gemstones..

 

A first version made entirely with diamonds is joined by a new version with sapphires and another with pink sapphires. Mounted respectively on matching satin straps in gray, blue or pink.

Chopard Haute Horlogerie and Jewelry has been developing the largest specialized workshops in Switzerland, under the direction of Catoline Scheufele. To make us live every season a myriad of emotions through their creativity.

CHOPARD HAPPY DIAMONDS 

Synonymous with joy, true to its name, since its creation, the collection Happy Diamondspresents a new watch. Inspired by one of the Happy Diamondsclassics: a watch on which fifteen moving diamonds circle around the dial. Sometimes concealed under a mother-of-pearl gallery, sometimes scattered like a cascade on the underside of the watch.

In 1976 the Chopard workshops drew inspiration from nature, from the beauty of waterfalls to give birth to the Happy Diamonds collection. A representation of the light reflections created by the splashes of a drop of water. .

On the one hand, with a diameter of 38 millimeters, the Happy Diamonds Joaillerie is presented on a gray brushed canvas strap matching the shade of Tahitian mother-of-pearl fitted with a rose gold buckle set with diamonds.

On the other hand, in the center of this accessory, designed in 18-carat pink ethical gold and dressed in Tahitian diamonds and mother-of-pearl, we find a first dial that marks the time with elegant golden hands. Surrounding this is a second dial on which fifteen diamonds move freely.

But, the most surprising thing about the Happy Diamonds watch is hidden behind the gallery located between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. This is where the diamonds can temporarily hide and when they emerge from this secret passageway they cascade down to the bottom in dazzling fashion.

The fame of these ingenious little diamonds helped them to be awarded the Baden Golden Rose of Baden-Baden, one of the most prestigious distinctions in the world of jewelry. Since then, over the years, they have created, through their many transformations, a true legend.
