Happy Diamonds

Im Jahr 1976 sprühten die Ateliers des Hauses vor Energie. Die Natur wurde zu einer unerschöpflichen Inspirationsquelle und zum Vorbild für Diamanten, die die Schönheit eines Wasserfalls nachbilden. So entstand die Idee zu den „Happy Diamonds“, die an die funkelnden Tropfen lebhafter Wasserspiele erinnern. Diamanten, die glücklicher sind, weil sie frei sind.

Design

Tanzende Diamanten

Im Mittelpunkt des genialen Happy Diamonds Konzepts stehen die Frauen, die eine Happy Diamonds Schmuckuhr tragen. Chopard macht sie zu den Stars dieser bezaubernden Aufführung. Die tanzenden Diamanten werden von jeder Geste mit faszinierender Leichtigkeit in Bewegung gesetzt und scheinen in ihrem lebhaften Tanz den Gesetzen der Schwerkraft zu trotzen. Damit bringen sie unvergängliche Joie de Vivre zum Ausdruck.
“Little diamonds do great things.”

Identität

Das Erbe der tanzenden Diamanten

Mitte der Siebzigerjahre revolutionierte Chopard die konventionelle Luxus-Uhren- und Schmuckfertigung und läutete eine Ära ein, die von der Emanzipation der Frau und der Liberalisierung der Gesellschaft geprägt war. Das Unternehmen blickt auf eine glorreiche Vergangenheit zurück, die seine Identität formte.

Meet our Artisans

Unsere Mains d'Art

Die Handwerkskünstler von Chopard verstehen es auf unvergleichliche Art, Diamanten zum Tanzen zu bringen. Die Idee dazu hatte Chopard 1976. Seither wirbeln die Edelsteine frei über das Zifferblatt einer Uhr – dank des Talents der „Choreographen“, die für den Tanz der Diamanten zuständig sind.
