Happy Hearts Wings jewellery and Sport watch, the L‘Heure du Diamant collection and the brand’s Haute Joaillerie
2020 has been a tough year, and that makes it all the more important that it end on a high note. Happily, Swiss luxury jeweller Chopard is offering a handful of lovely watch and jewellery creations – all made using ethical gold – that are bound to uplift spirits this festive season. Here we hand-pick the latest, most delightful, watches and jewellery from the house – whether you choose to gift them to a loved one, or to yourself, they are sure to bring nothing but joy.
Light-hearted laughte r
There are few watches that bring an immediate smile to people’s faces, but Chopard’s iconic Happy Sport watch is one of them. The watch, with its free-floating gems that dance across the dial, embodies free spiritedness and has been spreading joy since its launch in 1993. This year, some of the floating gems – traditionally always diamonds – have been replaced with red rubies to add extra colour and vibrancy. The red gems themselves symbolise prosperity and happiness – essential for any festive season, but particularly so this year. The watch is available in a bi-coloured steel and gold case with an elegant guilloche dial, or with a fully-paved gold case, textured mother-of-pearl dial, and ruby-studded bezel for added wow factor.
We would also pair the watch with the new Happy Hearts Wings collection, whose pieces feature two red butterfly wings suspended next to a heart encasing yet another dancing diamond. The delicate motifs represent the generous hearts of women who give unstintingly of themselves – perfect for gifting, wouldn’t you say?
Time well spent
