Blog: Chopard Happy Sport Chrono Women’s Watch Gets a Masculine Face Lift
Chopard is a Geneva-based luxury watch, jewelry, and accessory company founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard at the age of 24. Chopard initially concentrated on developing precise pocket watches and chronometers based upon innovative ideas. But, over the time, the manufacture also went into jewelry making and luxury watches.
The Happy Sport collection appeared in 1993, new models being added to it on a regular basis. The latest to join the timepieces in this collection is the fresh Happy Sport Chrono women’s watch. Chopard Happy Sport watches are a highly luxurious yet playful series of watches designed for ladies with an appreciation for elegance. The most prominent features of the Happy Sport are the floating diamonds inside the dial.
The Chopard Happy Sport collection has always stood out, since the mobile diamonds in the dials of these watches make them immediately recognizable, and highly fashionable. This year, Chopard has brought out what just might be the boldest, most distinctive Happy Sport timepiece yet, by overhauling the women’s Happy Sport Chrono watch and give it a more masculine touch.
If it wasn’t for the floating diamonds and Happy Sport name, the timepiece might have been easily mistaken for a men’s watch. The rounded links in the bracelet have been made more angular, while the deeply grooved rotating bezel is a reminder of how hard this woman’s watch can punch. It is a pretty rough watch for something featuring the word “Happy” in the title.
Although its price will be over $5,000, this Chopard Happy Sport Chrono watch will have a Swiss quartz movement and will be in stainless steel. The diamonds literally move around freely although they are placed in a metal setting - in a middle plane between two sapphire crystals. The dial with the chronograph subdials is below.
