Legacy

[music plays]

(On-screen text: LEGACY)

(Against a silvery background, the letters of the word LEGACY rain down, each bearing a pattern reminiscent of one of the Happy Sport watches.)

Overflowing with fearless creativity, an explosion of colors and extravagance, Chopard established iconic watches.

(Stars sparkle on a black background, different watches with colorful designs and sparkling jewels appear. The stars draw together to form the shape of a timepiece, then the word "Chopard".)

(On-screen text: FOREVER HAPPY SPORT)

Guided by a unique family spirit, Caroline Scheufele created an icon in women's watches: Happy Sport.

(Multiple black and white family photographs flit by and end on a photo of Caroline that zooms in. A flash of white light reveals a Happy Sport watch that forms the "O" in the word ICON.)

(On-screen text: HAPPY SPORT)

(Hands reach out, holding or wearing different Happy Sport watches, diamonds dancing within.)

Instantly recognizable as an original, forever present in our lives, an icon represents a turning point, a step forward, a new horizon, a revolution, a symbolic moment, a pioneer, an advocate. They are forever remembered.

(Different Happy Sport ads flash by, from old to new, always featuring the watch's dial at the center of the screen.)

Happy Sport, a pinnacle in women's watches. The watch that sealed Chopard's fate in the world of contemporary watchmaking.

(The C of the Chopard symbol floats in a starry sky, surrounded by Roman numerals.)

(A sketch of the Happy Sport watch is covered by many different versions of the watch, in different colors, materials and designs.)

So popular was the model, it expanded into new territories with new materials, shapes, colors, gem settings and complications. A kaleidoscope of daring and playful variations.

(Colors, gems, Roman numerals, complications and engravings spin like a kaleidoscope.)

Caroline's spirit is infused into each creation.

(Black and white photo of Caroline, one eye covered by her hand adorned with a large sparkling ring.)

She takes us on a voyage, a journey into her life which would become the universe of Happy Sport.

(A rose gold pendant with dancing diamonds inside hangs among colorful painted flowers, lilies and orchids, which part to reveal the words "Happy Sport" surrounded by a swirling line of diamonds.)

Swimming in the deep blue ocean, living out our dreams, seeing La Vie en Rose, speeding through racetracks, going to the moon and back, on adventures to the Arctic, meeting wild animals, walking the red carpet, attending glamorous celebrations, and supporting causes that matter.

(A series of Happy Sport watches illustrate each of these endeavors. Each year of Happy Sport watches rolls by, and the timeless stainless steel case Happy Sport watch stays in the center while the background changes endlessly, with animations of different dial shapes, hands and Roman numeral designs, then a variety of different watches that fill the screen and zoom out into a photo of Caroline.)

From its birth in the '90s until today, Happy Sport watches have embodied more than 1,000 variations. The watch most collected by women, reflecting all their facets and splendor. For the love of the Maison and her love of life, Caroline conveys a passion.

(Caroline sketches on a pad; drawings of the Chopard logo, dancing diamonds and watch face designs appear on a white background.)

Happy Sport is forever connected to Caroline's joie de vivre, forever filling every woman's heart with pure joy.

(Caroline laughs and smiles on camera during an interview. Golden hearts appear on the screen and open up to reveal the word "CHOPARD".)

(Colourful graphics appear as though hand-drawn in real time, quickly changing colour and shape, with the word "Legacy" weaving among the designs.)

(A series of line drawings of different sparkling jewels and gems on brightly coloured backgrounds, then a sketch of a clown with diamonds inside.)

Entering centre stage into the world of gems and diamonds, a humorous clown greater enhanced the Maison Chopard.

(On-screen text: Chopard)

(On-screen text: Little diamonds do great things)

(Dancers and gymnasts jump and twirl in vintage films. An open scrapbook reveals family photos, one of which depicts Caroline as a child. The video zooms in on this photo.)

Beyond the spectacle of lights and performance is the story of a dream. Concocted in a young girl's mind, a mischievous little clown would define the future of the Maison, enchanting the world.

(The "C" of Chopard shines against the moon in a theatrical starry sky, with the little clown sitting in its curve.)

Magical moments that shine bright emerging from imagination, a childhood dream.

(A black and white photo of a young Caroline floats through the sky holding giant colourful balloons. A later photo of Caroline as a young woman appears and is surrounded by circus-themed visuals: posters, photos, drawings.)

(On-screen text: 1980s)

In the early 80s, the young Caroline Scheufele, fascinated by the circus, mesmerised by gems, empowered by her mother, inspired by her father, created a fairy tale of her own.

(Colourful butterflies flit across the scene, revealing photos of Caroline's parents which are then enclosed in a snow globe.)

From her innate creativity and passion for drawing, Caroline designed an animated clown, filled with life by dancing diamonds and colourful gems. Her very first jewellery design.

(A quick succession of designs of the clown as part of different pieces of jewellery. A starry sky gives way to a photo of Karl Scheufele through the window of a stylised representation of the Chopard workshop. The image dissolves into colourful glitter as a Chopard gift box appears, exchanged from one hand to another.)

The stars were aligned: Karl Scheufele was spellbound. Secretly, in the Chopard workshops, the clown was brought to life. A surprise gift from the heart for his daughter on Christmas.

(On-screen text: A few years later)

(The clown dances on a spinning paper disc that represents the planet, featuring cut-outs of several landmarks.)

A few years later, it would become an emblem of the Maison, a worldwide success, a timeless gift from fathers to their daughters. This tiny clown gave new meaning to Chopard, opening the next chapter, and marked the birth of Caroline as its creative force.

(Several Chopard designs complete with diamonds spin against a midnight blue background with golden sparkles. A smiling, radiant adult Caroline appears against colourful fireworks. A magic wand sets dancing diamonds into motion.)

From watches to jewellery, she transformed the moving diamonds into dancing diamonds. And soon, Chopard became known for its jewellery collections with an array of Happy Diamonds.

(Animal jewels with dancing diamonds perform in front of a white big top with golden details and the "C" for Chopard.)

It all started with a sparkling, dancing performer, a clown juggling precious stones within. Once again, diamonds were unleashed, magically lighting up the world.

(A hand picks up the clown and lifts it into the clouds, shaking it so diamonds fall like rain.)

To this day, it remains a symbol of everlasting love.

(The clown sits in a carriage that speeds along a track that forms a heart-shaped loop-the-loop, then streaks through the sky among Chopard jewels: flowers, animals, birds. It finishes its ride by curving along the "C" of the word Chopard and dissolves into a star.)

(On-screen text: Chopard)

A symbol that imagination knows no bounds and that dreams have no limits. No matter how small, dreams can change the world.

Nevertheless, the road would present obstacles.

(Animation of a diamond bouncing up and down over obstacles, coming in contact with pictures of women as it rises and finally a photo of Caroline Scheufele. Then a hand takes it and puts it into a watch.)

In a conservative world, Caroline's idea was met with scepticism. And so, much like the women that inspired her, Caroline persevered. She took on the challenge and succeeded. Nowadays, it is one of the greatest success stories in watchmaking.
