Happy Sport, an emblematic Chopard watch with the concept of the “golden ratio”

Feminine and lively, precious and technical, modern and timeless; A set of unique characteristics that characterize the icon of the House of Chopard, embodying a distinguished success story in the world of watchmaking. Continuing its commitment to the constant pursuit of harmony, Chopard has cemented the status of its unique icon by giving it a more refined and elegant form. By utilizing the golden ratio in relation to the diameter of the Chopard (09.01-C) automatic winding movement that powers its collection of women's watches, Chopard has redesigned the Happy Sport watch's 33 mm diameter case to perfectly fit the size of a woman's wrist.

A sense of proportion is paramount for Chopard, as the Happy Sport watch has been designed to accompany women in all their daily activities, and that is why a woman should first and foremost feel the pleasure of wearing it on her wrist in all circumstances and at all times. This quest has reached its goal of achieving idealism by adopting the concept of the golden ratio, where this arithmetic balance has been established since ancient times in science, art and architecture in order to re-embodied the harmony prevailing in nature.

Chopard's craftsmen present a series of models with a silver-tone guilloché dial and five dancing diamonds, with a case made of Lucent Steel A223 or ethical 18 karat rose gold, or both, accompanied by a bracelet Made of leather or metal, the watch's bezel is polished, polished, or decorated with diamonds. These models are available in a variety of colors to suit all tastes. Noting that it took Chopard four years of research and development to create an alloy of Lucent Steel 223A with anti-allergic properties, luster and durability that exceed ordinary steel. On the other hand, Lucent Steel 223A testifies to Chopard's commitment to sustainable luxury, as it was made from 70% recycled materials in a state-of-the-art workshop located in Austria, reducing the carbon footprint from shipping materials to Chopard's workshops in Switzerland.

To complete the collection, Chopard also offers a jewelry version of the watch in ethical 18-carat white gold, entirely set with diamonds, and featuring a mother-of-pearl dial.

Five freedom-loving diamonds dance between two layers of crystal glass on the dial of the Happy Sport models, embodying the legacy of casual elegance. Chopard created the concept of dancing diamonds in 1976, and adorned the watches of the Happy Sport collection, which in turn changed women's relationship with time; No longer only does the woman look at the watch to know the time, but also contemplate the diamond dance with its constantly changing movements as it roams over the dial of the watch. This dazzling display of diamonds is a technical feat that only a few craftsmen can achieve, ensuring that each diamond in its moving capsule rotates and moves in such a way that its movement is never hampered.

In 1993, Caroline Scheufele captured the spirit of her time by designing a sports watch that surprisingly combined steel and diamonds, giving birth to the Happy Sport watch of this bold vision. Since then, this watch celebrates the liberating approach and joy of life that women reinvent with each new day to create the world they want to live in and the person they want to become. With dancing diamonds that “are happiest when they are free” – as Caroline Scheufele’s mother described it when she saw the prototype of this new concept in 1976 – the Happy Sport watch makes an ever-changing show, in which the woman who wears the watch plays a role essential; Especially since the movements of her wrist are what lead the rhythm of the diamond movement in the dance, whose movements are constantly rearranged. The Happy Sport collection is a powerful analogy to the emancipatory impetus experienced by women in the twentieth century. The collection vividly reflects the force of this vibrant life, as this collection has presented itself from its beginnings to undergo a torrential torrent of transformation.
