— Since 1976, Happy Diamonds have been joyfully lighting up the eponymous creations from Chopard. To mark their 40th birthday, Chopard is revisiting the iconic model in which they were first introduced.
It all started while out on a walk in the Black Forest during the 1970s, Chopard designer Ronald Kurowski was entranced by the sight of a waterfall and the thousands of tiny water droplets bursting out from it, reflecting the daylight and sparkling with all the colours of the rainbow.
This vision sparked a brilliant idea: to enable diamonds to sparkle in full dazzling radiance, they should be freed from their settings and allowed to circulate freely. This was born the Happy Diamonds concept.
Moving diamonds provide scope for all manner of bold designs and have since been interpreted through a broad range of Swiss watches, necklaces, pendants, rings and earrings. Over the years, Chopard Co-President and Artistic Director, Carolien Scheufele, has repeatedly reinvented this theme.
The first Happy Diamonds model was a men’s replica watches, a large cushion-shaped timepiece with an 18-carat white gold case and bracelet framing a black dial highlighting the first moving diamonds. This iconic creation, which won the prestigious Golden Rose of Baden-Baden in 1976, inspired a model celebrating the 40th anniversary of the invention of moving diamonds.
Picking up the initial cushion shape, but this time designed for women, today’s Happy Diamonds watch is a precious jewellery model exuding a charm that is both vintage and contemporary. The prong-set diamonds encircling the dial emphasise its gentle curves, while new mobile diamonds whirl freely across a textured white mother-of-pearl background. There are more of them than ever and they are also larger as well as in different sizes. In the middle, a mini subdial, also ringed with diamonds, bears the replica watches UK hands.
