About the Watch

Chopard's in-house designer Ronald Kurowski's Happy Diamonds watch won the Baden-Baden Rose d'Or award in 1976 and quickly captured the attention of connoisseurs and the general public. The idea of having diamonds freely moving around the watch's dial was innovative, but it presented a technical challenge. The diamonds' hardness meant that they would scratch any surface they touched, even when held between two sapphire crystals. The solution was to cover the diamonds with a thin layer of gold. The Happy Diamonds watch was considered avant-garde in both concept and design and became a classic watch that significantly contributed to the brand's reputation. The watch's design lent itself to various versions, and in 1993, Caroline Scheufele reinterpreted the concept as the Happy Sport. This new version offered an even bigger playground for the famous wandering diamonds and became a planetary success.

About the Brand

In 1860, Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded L.U.C in the Swiss village of Sonvillier. The company quickly gained recognition for its exquisitely crafted, ultra-thin, and highly precise pocket watches, which were sold throughout Europe, including to Tsar Nicholas II. Chopard remained a family-owned business until 1963, when it was purchased by Karl Scheufele III, a member of a German watchmaking dynasty who sought to expand his company's involvement in the industry. This acquisition revitalized Chopard, and it soon became a well-known name in both jewelry and watchmaking. Today, the company's high-level manufacturing facilities are located in both Geneva and Fleurier (Val de Travers). Recognizing the importance of self-reliance for an independent company, Chopard established its own mechanical timepiece production facilities in 1996. Although it remains firmly rooted in its traditional values, the company looks to the future with confidence.
