PreviousNext

Chopard is forcefully reaffirming its values of craftmanship and creative audacity through the story of its Happy Sport collection, the watchmaking success that has been leading diamonds in a merry dance for almost 30 years, in a perpetually renewed spirit of Joie de Vivre.

From the 3rd to the 13th March, 2022, Chopard is proud to present in partnership with our leading luxury retailer, Cortina Watch Singapore, with the ‘Happy Sport – Tale of an Icon’ exhibition in Singapore, held in the main atrium of Paragon Shopping Centre.

The exhibition will be accessible to the public from 11am to 8pm daily. With this exhibition, Chopard will be able to create awareness and highlight the Maison’s expertise in artisanal craftsmanship in Fine Watchmaking as well as the inspiration which lead to the creation of Happy Sport.

Two special edition Happy Sport timepieces close to the heart of Cortina

Produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces, the Happy Hearts Cortina 50th Anniversary timepiece is fitted with a 36 mm stainless steel case and red alligator leather straps. This watch features a white dial brought to life with six dancing elements: five diamonds and a red heart. While the diamonds depict five decades since the humble beginnings of Cortina Watch, the red heart carries a deeper meaning - as part of Cortina Watch’s continued efforts to give back to the community, net proceeds from the sale of this special edition will be donated to the Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF). The Happy Hearts Cortina 50th Anniversary timepiece also features an exhibition caseback with a special “Cortina Watch 50th Anniversary Since 1972”, together with a heart-shaped symbol - the logo of the SHF.

Also presented as a limited edition, is the Happy Moon Cortina 50th Anniversary collection. Made in three variations presented with a blue aventurine, green aventurine or red mother-of-pearl dial and paired with 18-carat ethical gold. Featuring the moonphase display – a favourite complication among Cortina Watch’s discerning female clientele, this is a mechanical and poetic creation brimming with enchanting precision and craftsmanship. Only 5 pieces will be made for each dial variation. This special edition of Happy Moon also comes with an exhibition caseback stamped with “Cortina Watch 50th Anniversary Since 1972”.

Both the Happy Hearts and Happy Moon Cortina 50th Anniversary limited edition timepieces will retail exclusively at Cortina Watch boutiques.

The Happy Sport Collection

In creating the Happy Sport, Chopard invented far more than a watch, also introducing a unique allure, a flash of brilliance, an inimitable attitude. Its only rule? Freedom. Since 1993, the Happy Sport watch has freely combined various genres: steel and diamonds, the eternal and the ephemeral. A true avant-garde visionary, Chopard Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele dreamed up an incredibly beautiful watch, which breaks the rules of horology. Sophisticated, yet sporty. Joyful, independent, mischievous and thoroughly modern, it plays with aesthetic codes while keeping in touch with its essential femininity. Accompanying a world of changing cycles, evolving styles and inner revolutions, Happy Sport opens up infinite horizons for perpetual transformations, beating to the tune of feminine emancipation that remains very much on the move. Because life is far too precious to be fettered, Happy Sport encapsulates the pulsating rhythms of an uncompromising life.
