Chopard Happy Sport watch has continuously been about free spirit and modernity since its creation in 1993. Today, it continues to spread its aura of happiness and Joie de Vivre through two new editions measuring 30 millimetres in diameter and dressed in red. The first, in ethical 18-carat rose gold, features a generous diamond and ruby setting. The second combines stainless steel with ethical 18-carat rose gold for a bi-material version. The Chopard 09.01-C movement runs the timepiece, while dial features Chopard’s dancing diamonds joined by three dancing rubies that follow the movements of the wearer.
Rubies, a symbol of happiness
Happy Sport adds a touch of happiness with rubies to waltz with its traditional dancing diamonds on the dial. These stones were chosen for their flamboyant red hue symbolising prosperity, joy and fulfilment. With a 30 mm-diameter case, these two new timepieces are equipped with two dancing diamonds and three dancing rubies.
The first variation is made of ethically sourced 18-carat rose gold in line with Chopard’s commitment to promoting sustainable luxury. The sides of the case are entirely set with diamonds, while the crown, bezel and cabochons feature intense red rubies. The iridescent dial is in white textured mother-of-pearl, featuring a centre adorned with a refined guilloché pattern and micro-setting.
The second watch of this happy duo comes in a steel case combined with a bezel, crown and cabochons in polished ethical 18-carat rose gold. The crown is set with another ruby, echoing the dancing gems on the dial and the glossy red alligator leather strap.
Finally, Chopard has equipped these two Chopard Happy Sport models with its 09.01-C movement, produced in its watchmaking workshops. It provides a 42-hour power reserve. Its exquisite finishing and curved oscillating weight may be admired through a transparent case-back.
