Louis-Ulysse Chopard deeply loves the pure lines and delicate details, making his watch a sought-after. He already knew how to dress a gentleman with a beautiful pocket watch.

Ode to joy

The origin of the Happy Sport timepiece can be traced back to 1993, when Caroline Scheufele, the co-president and artistic director of Chopard, designed a sporty and fashionable ladies watch that combines steel and diamonds. There is nothing like it on the market, but it was immediately accepted by women of that era. Since then, it has become a watch favorite.

This year, Chopard added two new versions of jewelry called Happy Sport Joaillerie. One version provides platinum that meets ethical standards, and the other version offers rose gold. Both versions are an interesting reinterpretation of Happy Sport’s iconic diamonds by showing claw-set diamonds instead of using traditional gold capsules with rotating tops. The new pin set uses only five pins to hold the gem in place, allowing the gem to be more fully exposed to light. The radiance of diamonds is further amplified as the number of faces increases. When they glide between two sapphire crystals, the result will be a more dazzling effect.

This extraordinary new technical feat is not the only thing that excites you. The textured mother-of-pearl dial is also engraved with the guilloché pattern, which fully demonstrates Chopard’s superb skills in all aspects of his timepiece.

The Happy Sport series also features Chopard’s internal automatic 96.17-C movement, which excels in both mechanical and gem setting. This ultra-thin movement is composed of 167 components, which can provide a 65-hour worry-free power reserve and can maintain a good time even if it is not moving for more than two and a half days. Both versions feature a soft crocodile leather strap and a secure 18-carat white gold or rose gold pin buckle set with diamonds.

In the end, the modern size of 36mm in diameter has attracted contemporary buyers and a new generation of female enthusiasts who like Happy Sport.

In the previous generations of “Happy Sports”, the fluidity of the gem has always provided a personal connection between the watch copy and the wearer. However, with this brilliant new environment, these two new versions also reflect who she is and her value.
