Happy Sport

An anthem to Joie de Vivre

PreviousNext

Perpetually on the move and brimming with Joie de Vivre, such is the nature of Happy Sport. Constantly reinvented since its creation in 1993, it enjoys multiple lives, just like the women who wear its dancing diamonds that whirl as freely as the creative imagination pervading Chopard's watchmaking workshops. The new Happy Sport, whose 36-mm case houses an automatic movement, is fitted with a metal bracelet and enlivened by warm, precious tones. The steel version features a pink dial, while the bi-material version in steel and ethical rose gold has a golden dial.

In 1993, Chopard made its mark on the history of women's watchmaking. The first watch to combine steel and diamonds, Happy Sport was a stroke of genius. Between two sapphire crystals, diamonds freed from their settings twirl cheerfully over the watch dial, accompanying each graceful move made by the wearer. Above and beyond its technical prowess, Happy Sport is a true ode to freedom, Joie de Vivre and femininity. Ever since then, this watchmaking icon has constantly reinvented itself as a permanent dance performed on feminine wrists.

Renewing an icon
Chopard presents new variations of this fertile, promising and ever-entertaining concept. Two 36 mm-diameter Happy Sport models, powered by a movement with automatic winding and fitted with a metal bracelet, flaunt new dials. One is an all-steel Happy Sport interpretation with seven dancing diamonds pirouetting across the warm shades of the shimmering pink dial, achieved by galvanic treatment and graced with a finely guilloché centre. The other is a bi-material model crafted in steel with 18-carat ethical rose gold highlights on the bezel, facetted crown, lug screws as well as part of the central links. The colour scheme naturally extends to the galvanically treated golden dial with a guilloché-patterned centre. Striking a pleasing contrast with the grey shade of the steel, the hands and hour-markers create exactly the kind of warm, lively and precious presence that has become a Happy Sport signature.
