Giving the world stylish and durable watches, Chopard has celebrated the 25th anniversary of its launch of “Happy Sport”, a certain vision of independence, modernity and freedom of movement. Enriching its range of stylistic versatility with a self-winding movement’s strength, “Happy Sport” delivers a delicate touch with a pastel-coloured textured mother-of-pearl dial.

In 1993, Chopard Co-President Caroline Scheufele designed a sport watch with an amazing link between steel and diamonds. The watch soon became a powerful emblem of the Geneva-based Maison and of feminine watchmaking, illustrating a sense of chic embedded in its DNA. The watch’s alluring style reveal many genres and repertoires, steel and diamonds, the eternal and the ephemeral.  

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Chopard transports this watch into a new era. It has been endowed with a mechanical self-winding movement, the 09.01-C, exclusively developed for 30 mm ladies’ watch cases. Feminine and technical, playful and radical, the icon of Maison Chopard represents the essence of a successful watch model. “Having it all” is the perfect motto for the women who choose ‘Happy Sport”.  Chopard’s integration of its two centres of excellence is the result of a unique blend of myriad skills and expertise, contributing to the grandeur of Haute Horlogerie and High Jewellery. The heart of the dial is suffused with the wealth of textured mother-of-pearl. The material’s soft glow features the infinitely unique shades drawn from the heart of the shell, sheltering its most precious curves.

The silky iridescence of textured mother-of-pearl, and the singularity of its wave-like motifs endow “Happy Sport” with unique character. This luminous heart framed by a 30-mm case is available in four versions: a blue dial with a gem-set steel case; a pink dial with a steel and 18-carat rose gold case; a white dial with an 18-carat rose gold case; and a white dial with a gem-set 18-carat rose gold case.

The delicate colours echoe the subtle shimmer of textured mother-of-pearl. Soft pastels offer a source of visual delight, where the gaze can linger at leisure, a gentle celestial blue, where the eye can wander freely in contemplation of the clouds billowing through the imagination. The pink of a blush, the pink of femininity, and the prism of optimism adopts to see life at its most beautiful. And finally, an immaculate and timeless white, the meeting point of all wavelengths, fulfilling our desire for gentleness and our quest for balance with its pristine radiance.

These chromatic landscapes are cheered by the presence of 5 moving diamonds whirling above the dial, feather-light and supremely innocent. Happy Diamonds offer the “Happy Sport’s’ wearers the perpetual sight of a delightful dance, echoing their every movement.

It’s worth to mention that the Attar United Co. is the official owner of Chopard boutiques in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
