About the Item

Up for sale is a vintage "Happy Diamonds" ladies' cocktail watch with reference number 4097, made by the renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweller Chopard. Chopard's "Happy Diamonds" line of watches always feature floating diamonds sandwiched behind transparent windows, as is the case for this stunning piece. Five mobile diamonds sit between the see-through circular bezel around the watch face, floating around with the movement of the wrist. The watch face itself features a gold tone dial with minimal Chopard logo and polished gold hands, surrounded by two concentric bezels adorned with high quality diamonds. The elegant 24mm 18k solid yellow gold watch case and mesh bracelet flow seamlessly into one another, and the jewellery clasp at the end of the bracelet is signed with the signature "C" for Chopard. Inside, we find a high quality Chopard 201 "Mini-Quartz" movement, its name not being an understatement: the movement is barely larger than its battery. The example sold here has been worn, but is still in good condition. You will find minor wear marks on the case and bracelet, the most notable one being a small dent in the gold ring around the dial at the 2 O'clock position. Said case has been cleaned thoroughly, but was left unpolished to maintain its original edges and curves. The sapphire crystal as a few very minor wear marks as well, but almost indistinguishable with the naked eye. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch was checked, received a new battery and is accurately keeping time. The case and bracelet are adorned with a total of 84 fixed diamonds worth approximately 0,78ct, and 5 mobile diamonds worth approximately 0,28ct. Please note that the bracelet is not drastically resizeable, and will fit wrists with a circumference in between 16 and 17.5cm. The clasp has three small adjustment settings, allowing the user to increase or decrease the size in increments of around 5mm. The ideal wrist size would be estimated at approximately 17cm, where the watch fits not too tightly or loosely. Accompanying the watch are an original Chopard presentation box, warranty card and technical information leaflet. Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages.

Chopard

In 1860, a 24-year-old son of a farmer, Louis-Ulysse Chopard (1836–1915), established the L.U.C. company — now known simply as Chopard, rather than by the founder’s initials — in Sonvilier, Switzerland. His initial work evolved from making mechanical movements to building the watches themselves, concentrating on making the pocket watch slimmer to carry for everyday use while also ensuring it was precise and reliable. Early successes included providing watches for the punctuality needs of the Swiss Railway Company. Recognizing the international market for Swiss watchmaking, Chopard traveled across Europe and Russia, with Czar Nicholas II becoming a client in 1912.

Chopard’s son, Paul-Louis, took over after Louis-Ulysse’s death in 1915 and expanded the business to La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1937, the company relocated to the watchmaking center of Geneva, where they could mark their work with the prestigious Geneva Seal. (Paul-Louis’s son, Paul-André, took the reins in 1943.) Business thinned in the postwar years, and Paul-André’s sons declined the opportunity to take over for their father.

In 1963, Chopard was acquired by German goldsmith and watchmaker Karl Scheufele III and his wife, Karin. Under their ownership, Chopard added jewelry to its offerings. The popular Happy Diamonds wristwatch debuted in 1976 — it launched a collection, which now features bracelets, rings and other items. The distinctive watch sees dozens of glittering diamonds, loosed from their settings, moving freely around the dial.

The story goes that the in-house designer Ronald Kurowski was inspired by the kinetic glimmers of sunlight on a waterfall in the Black Forest. He would then develop the innovative system for the Happy Diamonds timepiece that he hoped would essentially mimic his experience in the woods. A young Caroline Scheufele — Karl and Karin’s daughter, who would later become copresident and artistic director — led the introduction of a Happy Diamonds jewelry line in 1985, with her design for a playful clown pendant with a belly full of jittering precious stones. Subsequent lines and accessories such as the Happy Dreams bracelet, Happy Hearts collection and the Happy Sport watches further enhanced Chopard’s range of dynamic adornment.

The Scheufele family-run company continues to be synonymous with excellence in timepieces, such as its role as the official timekeeper for the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, creating all of its movements in-house. And Chopard is constantly developing its wares, from sunglasses and fragrances to recent introductions of high-end handbags.
