Pre-Owned Chopard Happy Sport Diamonds 40990895/EWATC08045

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

Chopard is quietly among the most daring and innovative of all the large watchmaking houses operating today.

The brand’s horological prowess is beyond question — from complicated striking watches and tourbillons to genre-pushing luxury sport watches, the Swiss watchmaker and jeweler is certainly not one to rest on its laurels.

One of the brand’s signature collections, however, eschews complicated watchmaking in favor of playful design, lending it a signature quality that’s immediately recognizable more nearly 50 years after the line’s launch in 1976. That’s right — we’re speaking of Happy Diamonds, the collection that pairs diamonds in free-floating settings and turns them loose within a wristwatch dial. Innovative and spirited, it’s a collection that’s been a favorite of stylish women since its debut.

The particular Happy Sport we have here is a Happy Sport Diamond from circa the 2020s. Housed in a 35mm 18K rose gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed sapphire cabochon crown, and a polished 18K rose gold bezel, it features a gloss white dial with floating diamonds in rose gold settings, applied rose gold Roman indices, a matching rose gold sword handset, and a reliable quartz movement within. It comes paired to a signed brown alligator leather strap with a matching signed rose gold pin buckle.

Fun-loving and exuberant, the Happy Sport Diamond is the sort of watch that invites a second look, and begs to be worn every day. But don’t take our word for it.
