The ultimate in casual sophistication
True to its name, CHOPARD’s Happy Sport watch collection is a timeless joy
Diamonds are part of the family for Caroline Scheufele. The daughter of two German entrepreneurs who took over luxury Swiss watch-maker Chopard in the 1960s, Scheufele is the globally renowned Artistic Director and Co-President of the company, which is still owned by her family to this day. A fervent admirer of diamonds just like her father, Scheufele introduced Chopard’s Happy Sport watch collection in 1993, combining the functional design of a stainless-steel sports watch with exquisitely delicate, freely moving diamonds on the dial – as inspired by Chopard’s illustrious Happy Diamonds collection.
First created in 1976, the Happy Diamonds line has become something of a signature collection for Chopard. Comprising watches, rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, the Happy Diamonds collection is instantly recognizable by the loose diamonds within each design. Described by the house as “like prima ballerinas freely swirling between two sapphire crystals”, Happy Diamonds truly embody Chopard’s joie de vivre mentality. And the Happy Sport watch collection is no different.
Capturing the progressive spirit of the ’90s, Scheufele decided she wanted to challenge traditional watch design by incorporating more feminine embellishments into the design. And so it was that the Happy Sport watch came to be, based on a unique and powerful combination: stainless steel and diamonds. The Happy Sport soon became a figurehead for the house and for women’s watches.

With their dazzling diamond features, Happy Sport watches are the ultimate in casual sophistication. For everyday wear, the stainless-steel bracelet-link strap (also available in a rose-gold design) is a no-brainer, while the alligator strap in black or royal blue is a classic day-to-night option. Alternatively, embrace the decadence of a Happy Sport with a lustrous black satin strap, which is a standout in the collection thanks to its diamond-set bezel.
Exquisite jewelry complements the show-stopping collection. Featuring Chopard’s iconic heart shape – a design emblem that features throughout many of its collections – the Happy Hearts jewelry line is an ode to romance, style and Chopard craftsmanship. Create an ultra-chic stacked look by pairing your Happy Sport watch with bracelets and cuffs and finish with matching earrings and layered necklaces of varying chain lengths. Featuring distinctive precious materials such as onyx, mother of pearl and rose stone, the pieces form an ultra-luxurious color palette – a true joy to wear and admire.
