Chopard Happy Fish

Chopard's Mains d’Art explore the underwater world

PreviousNext

Chopard takes to the open sea and leads us to the heart of dazzling marine sights. Enlivened by the whirling dance of dancing diamonds, the sea reveals its most precious treasures with the Happy Fish watch in ethical 18-carat white gold. Inspired by great depths, a blue textured mother-of-pearl fish attired in gold leaf glides across the dial amid a sea of sapphires. Above it, seven dancing diamonds whirl like bubbles. The 36 mm-diameter case fitted with a pearly blue leather strap houses a movement with automatic winding endowed with a 42-hour power reserve.

Diamonds on the horizon? The sea is never so beautiful as when evoked by Chopard. Sparkling playfully and full of joy as they dip and bob across the foam, the endless waltz of dancing diamonds embraces multi-facetted maritime delights. They radiate an original and powerfully poetic strength extolling the colourful wonders of a far-off paradise. Translucent sapphire-dotted waters, a distinguished fish whose scales are enhanced with textured mother-of-pearl and gold leaf: the skill of the Chopard artisans is a journey in itself.

A stunning ocean-coloured performance
The Happy Fish model welcomes a splendid new model celebrating the magic of the underwater world through deftly executed artistic crafts. Offering a delightfully harmonious vision in blue and gold, the graceful movements and flowing curves of a majestic fish that lights up at night come to life through delicate engraving on the shimmering textured mother-of-pearl. The delightfully rounded shapes adorned with gold leaf create a softly glistening and luminous effect enhanced by graded shades of snow-set pastel blue sapphires. Dancing across these waves are seven luminescent dancing diamonds, while the red jasper eye of the fish stands out like an exclamation mark against the blue backdrop. The extreme delicacy of this jewellery craftsmanship continues on the bezel which is set with diamonds of three different sizes creating a softer effect, while the ethical 18-carat white gold case fitted with a pearly blue alligator leather strap houses a mechanical movement with automatic winding.

The Happy Fish collection
Launched in 2002 with a distinctive marine-life inspiration, the Happy Fish is another stopping point along the long-distance voyage undertaken by the Happy Sport, which has perpetually reinvented its peerless chic through each of its interpretations. Created in 1993 by Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele, it overturned existing watchmaking conventions with the unusual association between steel and diamonds. The radical modernity of its lines and materials makes a perfect match with the playful spirit of Happy Diamonds, the setting-free diamonds dancing between two sapphire crystals.
