The Glitz of Chopard at the Oscar & Cannes, 2013.

Left to right: Imperial Black Chrono, Perpetual T, Sport Diamantissimo.
Going back in time to find a unique time, a paradigm but a pleasant journey.
Such is the case when we explore and glance through the window of some of the Elite glamour and glitz creations of Time.

1860, Louis-Ulysse Chopard establishes a high-precision watchmaking factory in Sonvilier, in the Jura region of Switzerland.
1937, Chopard relocates to Geneva and launches into the production of quality watches.
1963, Karl Scheufele takes over Chopard. He owns the German firm Karl Scheufele, founded in 1904 and specialized in watches (under the Eszeha brand name) and jewelry.
Production from both manufacturing entities continues under the Chopard brand.


Rest was a part of a great journey in history, as we unfold some of the gems of 2013, presented by Chopard.


Even though Chopard was a victim of a theft of $1Million reported at the Cannes Festival of 2103, a Glamorous party continued.

Observing the fine timepieces firstly, the Imperiale Chrono Black (top left) has a signature of details, alluring to the finest hours of the imperial age. Roman numerals, a dial delicate with arabesque motifs and embroidered cushions that monarchs used. The exquisitely curved hands cater to the daggers used in combat.

Imperiale Chrono All Black is machined from the finest steel in Chopard workshops, and then treated to a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, presenting a distinctive shiny black finish. This 40 mm watch driven by a mechanical self-winding movement is water-resistant to 50 metres.



This year in Basel, Chopard presented one of its most complicated L.U.C watches (centered above). The new L.U.C Perpetual T timepiece features a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon, and it has an outstanding power reserve of more than a week. This newcomer is definitely Chopard’s flagship at Baselworld 2013. The Perpetual T epitomizes the highest standards integral to the legacy of the company’s founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard.

Next, presenting the Happy Sport Diamantissimo, an offering from Swiss luxury watches and jewelry maker Chopard. The brand launched this masterpiece as ode to it completing a glorious 20 years with its Happy Sport series, and taking a first look at this watch, you’d certainly wish Chopard to celebrate many more such joyful years – each celebration unveiling a spellbinding masterpiece.

Build in 18-carat white gold and diamond washed in 958 baguette-cut diamonds and 1,978 brilliant-cut diamonds, the Happy Sport totals an astounding 65 carats!

Chopard Manufacture L.U.C 96.17-L movement. The dial, case, and bracelet links of the watch have been embellished with an “invisible” setting technique that zeros down any ugly gapping spaces. Additional features of the watch include a central display of the hours and minutes, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, water resistance up to 30 meters, facetted glare-proofed sapphire crystal and an exhibition back with transferred anniversary inscription.

Forbes reports that Chopard Happy Sport Diamantissimo retails for 1.5 million Swiss francs.

Jennifer Lawrence, Oscars 2013.













From time to priceless precious world of jewelry, Chopard made a long time presence. Some of which today comes from - Jennifer Lawrence stuns on the red carpet at the 2013 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday (February 24) in Hollywood.
The 22-year-old actress looked amazing in a Dior Haute Couture dress, a Chopard jewels, a Roger Vivier clutch, and Brian Atwood shoes. Especially the long chain necklace hung low to the waist at the back which added the infinite sexiness and imagination!

Elton John & Chris Brown, AIDS Foundation awards.











Sir Elton John and Chris Brown attend Chopard at 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party at Pacific Design Center on February 24, 2013 in West Hollywood, California.

Enclosing such an appalling journey of fine craftsmanship and steady growth of success, one would imagine there would be serious discussion for major constructive contribution plans - where Elton John has been well reputed. 
But,  who do you think had the best timepiece on their wrist ?
