Amazon.com Product Description
Add a playful sensibility to your professional and dress couture with this Chopard Happy Sport women's watch (model 27/8349-23), which features seven diamonds that float within the watch's dial. The seven diamonds have a total weight of 0.15 carat, and they slide between two sapphire crystals. It's also fitted with five cabochon jewels for further fashionability--one on the crown on one on each corner of the watch where the band connects to the case. A cabochon is a semi-precious gemstone that's been shaped and polished with a rounded, convex top and a flat bottom.

The silvery white dial includes Roman numeral markers at the quarter hours, black baton hands (with seconds hand), and small minute indexes, and a date window at 6 o'clock. The squarish watch case measures 27mm wide (1.06 inches) and 8mm thick (0.31 inches). It's matched to a stainless steel band with flattened square links (matching the case's design) and a sparkling polish. Other features include a precise Swiss quartz timing movement, Chopard's C signature engraved on the clasp, water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.

About Chopard

In a nod to its history, Chopard has returned to making its own award-winning watch movements.

Louis-Ulysse Chopard, a hereditary watchmaker, opened the first Chopard watchmaking workshop in 1860 in a small town of Sonvilier located in the Swiss Jura Mountains, concentrating on developing precise pocket watches and chronometers. After Chopard was purchased by jewelry entrepreneur Karl Scheufele from Louis-Ulysse's grandson Paul-Andre in 1963, Scheufele modernized the company and implemented a focus on integrating timepieces with stylish jewelry design. Scheufele also returned the company to its traditional roots in manufacturing its own mechanical watch movements, and in 1996 the L.U.C 1860 movement was introduced with a Breguet balance sprint and 22 carat gold microrotor. The following year, it was chosen as watch of the year by trade journalists and watch dealers.

In 1976, Chopard unveiled the now-famed Happy Diamonds collection, which featured mobile diamonds that floated freely between two transparent sapphire crystals. And in 1988, Chopard teamed up with the Mille Miglia, an annual Italian rally where vintage and classic cars take part, to create special edition watches every year.

In the modern production facilities at Pfozheim (Germany) and Meyrin (Switzerland), many different skilled professions are represented, including designers, goldsmiths, polishers, turners, toolmakers, jewelry setters, and steel engravers--all working with a great love of detail and the utmost precision.
