Chopard turns A Century and A Half

To commemorate its 150th anniversary, Chopard unveils a new addition to its Happy Sport Collection - the Happy Sports Star Diamond Watch. The refreshing blue hue of the dial serves as the perfect midnight sky backdrop for five stars shimmering with diamonds. In line with the original Happy Diamond Collection ,introduced in 1976, the stars glide across the dial between two sheets of sapphire crystal to evoke the illusion of gems mysteriously suspended above the time.
