CHOPARD – Happy Diamonds Legacy

CHOPARD – Happy Diamonds Legacy

MEMORY OF A GOLDEN AGE

LEGACY

By overturning the codes of watchmaking and luxury jewelry in the mid-1970s, Chopard accompanied the changes of an era marked by the freedom of women and the liberalization of society. The Maison pays tribute to this victorious past that forged its identity.

CHOPARD – Happy Diamonds Legacy

FOREVER HAPPY SPORT

An explosion of colors and extravagance, a turning point, an icon and the watch most collected by women: Happy Sport is all this and so much more. The embodiment of Caroline Scheufele’s passion and joie de vivre, from their birth in the 90s to the present, Happy Sport models have epitomized a noble legacy of casual chic style in a kaleidoscope of more than 1,000 variations – each one infused with the spirit of Chopard’s Co-President and Artistic Director.

A powerful metaphor of the emancipatory momentum women experienced in the 20th century, the Happy Sport watch sealed Chopard’s place in contemporary watchmaking and continues to stage a fascinating and perpetually creative show in which women play a starring role. Happy Sport is forever.

“LITTLE DIAMONDS DO GREAT THINGS”

The creative soul of the Maison, Caroline Scheufele began shaping her brilliant destiny from childhood onwards. Born into a long line of watchmakers, she designed her first watch as a young girl, from pieces of aluminium foil. While still a teenager, she let her fertile imagination wander by designing a clown pendant with small dancing diamonds twirling inside its belly. Made in secret by the workshops on the initiative of Caroline Scheufele’s father, this clown was to be the first ever piece of Chopard jewelry. A joyful and playful creation, it quickly became the favorite gift of a generation of fathers to their beloved daughters, and the symbol of Chopard’s formidable jewelry adventure.

“DIAMONDS ARE HAPPIER WHEN THEY ARE FREE”

The history of Happy Diamonds is set against the backdrop of the profound transformation and cultural changes of the 1970s. Inspired by the lightness and freedom of the spray from a waterfall, the Chopard workshops decided to release diamonds from all settings for the very first time: a real upheaval in the world of watchmaking. “Diamonds are happier when they are free” exclaimed Caroline Scheufele’s mother when she first caught sight of these icons in the making. Conveying a universal message, Happy Diamonds reflected the spirit of the times: precious things should not be locked up! Free and liberated, they sparkled more brightly than ever – like the women who wore them.

FREE SPIRITED WOMEN

 

As soon as it was introduced, the kinetic energy spread by the Happy Sport distilled an aura of Joie de Vivre. Combining diamonds and steel turned watchmaking codes upside down, in step with those of modern society within which women were taking an unprecedented place. With more and more of them taking up positions of responsibility, their influence began steadily growing within the family as well as in business and politics. A new lifestyle was required for these heroines leading their lives in a free-spirited and independent way – and fashion had to adapt. Happy Sport was entirely in tune with this tendency. A key instigator of the sport-chic trend, it goes equally well with jeans and sneakers as with a little black dress and high heels – all of which helped it conquer catwalks, red carpets and women’s wrists!

CHOPARD – Exclusive diamante “Rose of Caroline”

CHOPARD – Exclusive diamante “Rose of Caroline”

UN HOMENAJE ETERNO AL ALMA CREATIVA DE CHOPARD

Creados hace más de 20 años bajo el impulso de la copresidenta y directora artística de Chopard, Caroline Scheufele, los talleres Chopard han tenido un devenir fabuloso y su existencia ha estado marcada por varios hitos muy importantes. En el último episodio de esta trayectoria, y como reflejo de la pasión por los diamantes de color que alberga el alma creativa de la Casa, con motivo de la Semana de la Alta Costura de París 2022, Caroline Scheufele va a presentar una selección de piedras excepcionales, incluyendo un impresionante diamante rosa que posee el increíble peso de 10,88 quilates.

Los diamantes rosa se encuentran entre los tonos más raros del arcoíris de las piedras de color, y los diamantes rosa de un color “fancy intense” son todavía más raros, motivo por el que la copresidenta y directora artística de Chopard se conmovió tanto cuando vio por primera vez esta magnífica piedra milenaria.

La piedra fue adquirida por Chopard y bautizada como “Rose de Caroline” en un eterno homenaje a la mujer que ha sido el origen tanto de la joyería como de la Alta Joyería de Chopard y que viaja por todo el mundo en busca de unas gemas excepcionales producidas por la Tierra. La palabra “rose” no se refiere solo al color rosa del diamante, sino que también recuerda a una flor muy querida por el corazón de Caroline Scheufele.

UNA OFRENDA INCANDESCENTE A LA LUZ

Auténtica amante de la naturaleza, Caroline Scheufele cuida de sus jardines con la profunda sensación característica de los auténticos expertos: un jardín de flores, cuya perpetua renovación y frágil belleza admira y un jardín de piedras preciosas.

Cumpliendo expertamente con la misión fundamental del trabajo del joyero de revelar el brillo natural de las gemas, sin aspavientos ni florituras, y para honrar a este extraordinario regalo de la naturaleza, los talleres de Chopard han utilizado toda su experiencia para dotar al diamante “Rose of Caroline” de un diseño sofisticado que permite que la belleza intrínseca de cada piedra brille y resplandezca.

Con una talla radiante -una variante excepcional de la talla rectangular con 70 facetas-, el “Rose of Caroline” se asemeja a una ofrenda incandescente a la luz, revelando su tono femenino y su claridad VVS1 en la escala del Instituto Gemológico de América.

El diamante rosa está modestamente engastado en oro ético blanco y rosa de 18 quilates certificado Fairmined, realzado por dos rubíes en forma de corazón de 2,03 quilates y 1,95 quilates y por un microengaste de diamantes blancos y rosas, confirmando así el carácter atemporal de esta joya de lujo destinada a la eternidad.

La Esmeralda Chopard Insofu, un descubrimiento histórico de la alta joyería de lujo

LA ESMERALDA CHOPARD INSOFU

UN DESCUBRIMIENTO EXTRAORDINARIO EN LA HISTORIA DE LA JOYERÍA DE LUJO

Una piedra emblemática, un descubrimiento extraordinario que ilumina la historia de la joyería. Bautizada como Chopard Insofu (“insofu” significa elefante en Bemba, el idioma de los habitantes de la región de origen de la piedra), esta piedra excepcional y rara descubierta en la mina de Kagem, en Zambia, es una de las más importantes jamás encontradas, tanto por su peso (6.225 quilates) como por su calidad.

Los expertos detectaron esta extraordinaria piedra, un descubrimiento que ilumina la historia de la joyería de lujo, y se dieron cuenta del enorme potencial de este regalo de la Tierra, aún en estado bruto y claramente rebosante de posibilidades: un fabuloso tesoro que -en manos de los mejores talladores de piedras de Chopard- dará lugar a una colección de gemas únicas y singulares.

A diferencia del diamante, la esmeralda es la gema más frágil de todas, una piedra oscura que sólo revelará todo su potencial durante el proceso de tallado. En un noble gesto de una verdadera amante de las gemas, Caroline Scheufele ha decidido aceptar el reto de esta frágil y espléndida belleza.

Partiendo de la piedra en bruto que ha identificado y obtenido, seguirá primero el proceso de tallado lo más cerca posible, asegurándose así que ya tiene un profundo conocimiento de la colección de diferentes gemas en las qzue se inspirará posteriormente para diseñar la consiguiente colección de Alta Joyería.

CHOPARD Y LAS PIEDRAS PRECIOSAS EXCEPCIONALES: UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR ETERNO

“La historia de la joyería de lujo de Chopard siempre ha estado marcada por unas piedras excepcionales. Esta fascinación por el magnetismo y la regia belleza de las piedras ha guiado las decisiones y la trayectoria profesional de Caroline Scheufele.

Como copresidenta y directora artística de Chopard ha llevado el desarrollo de la Alta Joyería a un nivel de excelencia sin precedentes, una trayectoria que persigue en simbiosis con sus profundas convicciones sobre el lujo responsable y lujo sostenible.

De este modo, los talleres de Chopard dan vida a unas creaciones de joyería de lujo que desprenden el incomparable resplandor de un enfoque decididamente ético. La Esmeralda Chopard Insofu es el máximo ejemplo de ello.
Dice Caroline Scheufele:

“Es profundamente conmovedor enfrentarse a la belleza y el misterio de un tesoro así, recogido en las profundidades de la Tierra, formado hace millones de años, y que ha llegado a nosotros para ser realzado por la mano de los artesanos que revelarán toda su belleza al tiempo que transcriben las emociones que despierta”. Continúa: “Desde que era niña me han fascinado las piedras preciosas y he tenido la suerte de trabajar con algunas de las más bellas del mundo. Por razones que escapan a cualquier forma de racionalidad, algunas de ellas te impresionan desde el primer momento, pero la sensación que me invadió con la esmeralda Insofu superó cualquier emoción que haya conocido. Desde el momento en que la vi, supe que sería una piedra enormemente importante para Chopard y estoy inmensamente emocionado de comenzar esta aventura hoy.”

El actor venezolano Alejandro Nones forma parte ahora de ese círculo de estrellas del cine, amigos de Chopard

Alejandro Nones

Amigo de Chopard

Patrocinador oficial del Festival de Cine de Cannes desde 1988, Chopard vive su pasión por el cine alimentada por su copresidenta y directora artística Caroline Scheufele, y se rodea de actores y actrices de gran talento. El actor venezolano Alejandro Nones forma parte ahora de ese círculo de estrellas del cine, amigos de Chopard, eligiendo las creaciones de Chopard para promocionar sus películas, la última, La Caja dirigida por Lorenzo Vigas – compitió en la 78 Edición del Festival de Cine de Venecia.

Desde que en 2007 se le viera en las pantallas mexicanas en Lola, érase una vez producida por Pedro Damián, Alejandro Nones se ha convertido en estos años en un actor muy conocido en la cinematografía latinoamericana, y actualmente gracias a su papel como Rodolfo Lazcano en la serie de Netflix ¿Quién mató a Sara?, su fama es reconocida internacionalmente.

En la 78 Edición del Festival de Cine de Venecia en septiembre de 2021, apareció con Caroline Scheufele para promocionar su última película La Caja dirigida por Lorenzo Vigas, que se presentó en competición oficial. Caroline Scheufele copresidenta y directora artística de Chopard y ferviente amante del cine, tuvo la oportunidad de expresar su admiración y respeto por el actor venezolano al que ha elegido como “amigo” de la Casa para representar el espíritu de las colecciones de hombre.

“Es un gran honor asociar un actor talentoso como Alejandro Nones con la imagen de nuestra Casa. Como perfecto gentleman, es sensible a las preocupaciones de Chopard sobre ética y Alta Relojería. Espero que le acompañemos en los logros de su brillante carrera” dijo Caroline Scheufele.

El mejor gentleman

Además de por su estilo, un gentleman contemporáneo se distingue por su integridad, carácter y personalidad. Guiado por la tradición es capaz de abrazar el futuro gracias a su espíritu innovador.  Se atreve a ser él mismo. Encuentra la belleza en su vida cotidiana a través de sus encuentros, su entorno y los objetos que le rodean, transformando su vida en una obra de arte.  Así es el retrato de Alejandro Nones, en el que Chopard ha reconocido al gentleman contemporáneo. Y como ningún objeto representa esos valores mejor que los relojes, Alejandro Nones confía en su colaboración con Chopard para encontrar los relojes en armonía con su personalidad en cada momento de su vida: una sutil mezcla de experiencia, innovación y emoción.
