Al derrocar los códigos de la relojería y la joyería de lujo a mediados de la década de 1970, Chopard acompañó los cambios de una era marcada por la libertad de la mujer y la liberalización de la sociedad. La Maison rinde homenaje a ese pasado victorioso que forjó su identidad.
CHOPARD – El legado de los diamantes felices
SIEMPRE FELIZ DEPORTE
Una explosión de colores y extravagancia, un punto de inflexión, un icono y el reloj más coleccionado por las mujeres: Happy Sport es todo esto y mucho más. La encarnación de la pasión y la alegría de vivir de Caroline Scheufele, desde su nacimiento en los años 90 hasta el presente, los modelos Happy Sport han personificado un noble legado de estilo casual chic en un caleidoscopio de más de 1000 variaciones, cada una infundida con el espíritu de Chopard. Copresidente y Director Artístico.
Una poderosa metáfora del impulso emancipador que experimentaron las mujeres en el siglo XX, el reloj Happy Sport selló el lugar de Chopard en la relojería contemporánea y continúa representando un espectáculo fascinante y perpetuamente creativo en el que las mujeres desempeñan un papel protagónico. Happy Sport es para siempre.
“LOS PEQUEÑOS DIAMANTES HACEN GRANDES COSAS”
El alma creativa de la Maison, Caroline Scheufele comenzó a dar forma a su brillante destino desde la infancia en adelante. Nacida en una larga línea de relojeros, diseñó su primer reloj cuando era niña, a partir de trozos de papel de aluminio. Cuando aún era una adolescente, dejó volar su fértil imaginación diseñando un colgante de payaso con pequeños diamantes danzantes girando dentro de su vientre. Realizado en secreto por los talleres por iniciativa del padre de Caroline Scheufele, este payaso iba a ser la primera pieza de joyería de Chopard. Una creación alegre y lúdica, se convirtió rápidamente en el regalo favorito de una generación de padres para sus amadas hijas y en el símbolo de la formidable aventura joyera de Chopard.
“LOS DIAMANTES SON MÁS FELICES CUANDO SON LIBRES”
La historia de Happy Diamonds tiene como telón de fondo la profunda transformación y los cambios culturales de la década de 1970. Inspirándose en la ligereza y la libertad del rocío de una cascada, los talleres de Chopard decidieron lanzar diamantes de todos los engastes por primera vez: una verdadera revolución en el mundo de la relojería. “Los diamantes son más felices cuando son gratis”, exclamó la madre de Caroline Scheufele cuando vio por primera vez estos íconos en proceso. Al transmitir un mensaje universal, Happy Diamonds reflejó el espíritu de la época: ¡las cosas preciosas no deben guardarse bajo llave! Libres y liberados, brillaban más que nunca, como las mujeres que los usaban.
MUJERES DE ESPÍRITU LIBRE
Nada más ser presentado, la energía cinética que difunde el Happy Sport destila un aura de Joie de Vivre. La combinación de diamantes y acero puso patas arriba los códigos de la relojería, al ritmo de los de la sociedad moderna, en la que la mujer ocupaba un lugar sin precedentes. Con más y más de ellos ocupando puestos de responsabilidad, su influencia comenzó a crecer constantemente dentro de la familia, así como en los negocios y la política. Se requería un nuevo estilo de vida para estas heroínas que llevaban sus vidas de una manera libre e independiente, y la moda tuvo que adaptarse. Happy Sport estaba totalmente en sintonía con esta tendencia. Un instigador clave de la tendencia sport-chic, combina tan bien con jeans y zapatillas como con un pequeño vestido negro y tacones altos, ¡todo lo cual lo ayudó a conquistar las pasarelas, las alfombras rojas y las muñecas de las mujeres!
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!

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NOMBRADO BEST OF SHOW EN EL 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, California (21 de agosto de 2022) — Un Duesenberg único repitió su primer papel como ganador del Concours al llevarse el primer premio en el Concours d’Elegance de Pebble Beach.
Este año, 220 autos de 19 países y 33 estados entraron al campo de competencia del Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance , y el auto nombrado Best of Show fue el Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo de 1932 de Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“Este raro Duesenberg une el poder estadounidense con el estilo europeo”, dijo la presidenta del Concours, Sandra Button. “Le fue bien en algunos mítines y concursos tempranos. Luego, su historia dio un giro, con el chasis separado de la carrocería. La historia de su resurrección es una de pura pasión”.
Un automóvil estadounidense ganó por última vez el Best of Show en 2013, cuando un Packard Twelve de 1934 ocupó el primer lugar. Duesenberg ha sido durante mucho tiempo la marca estadounidense con más victorias en Pebble Beach, con seis victorias anteriores; esta victoria eleva su total a siete.
“Dios mío, estamos abrumados”, exclamó Penny Anderson. “¡Simplemente no podemos creer que ganamos Best of Show! Hemos conocido a tanta gente a lo largo de los años, hemos disfrutado de todas las personas que participan. Es una alegría y un honor estar aquí”.
“Hemos estado haciendo esto durante años y hemos estado cerca en el pasado”, dijo Lee, “pero en realidad nunca hemos ganado, así que Penny tiene razón, es abrumador. Toda la preparación: la historia detrás de este auto es simplemente asombrosa. Solo hay un Figoni Duesenberg, siempre, y es este de aquí. Entonces, es como si todas estas cosas se unieran para hacer un verdadero campeón. Estamos muy emocionados”.
La carrera de este año por Best of Show contó con otros fuertes contendientes, incluido el Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé de 1937 de Fritz Burkard, el Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet de 1930 de Sam y Emily Mann, y el Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport de 1951 de Merle y Peter Mullin. Estabilizadores Farina Cabriolet.
El Pebble Beach Concours recaudó más de $2,67 millones para obras de caridad este año, elevando las donaciones benéficas totales del evento a más de $35 millones hasta la fecha. A través de Pebble Beach Company Foundation, el principal socio caritativo de Concours, estos fondos beneficiarán a más de 95 organizaciones benéficas locales, impactando las vidas de más de 10,000 niños anualmente en el condado de Monterey.
Gooding & Company, la casa de subastas oficial del Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluyó su 18.ª subasta anual de Pebble Beach este fin de semana, logrando más de $105 millones en ventas. Varios autos estrella establecieron nuevos récords mundiales, incluido el Ferrari F40 de 1990, que se vendió por $3,965,000, y el Bugatti EB110 Super Sport de 1994, que logró $3,167,500. La mejor venta del fin de semana fue un increíblemente elegante Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante de 1937, que alcanzó un precio de venta final de $10,345,000.
El 72º Concurso de Elegancia de Pebble Beach se llevará a cabo el domingo 20 de agosto de 2023 y celebrará al famoso carrocero Joseph Figoni y Pegaso. Las características adicionales de 2023 incluyen Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis y American Dream Cars de la década de 1950, y se anunciarán más características a principios del otoño.

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NAMED BEST OF SHOW AT THE 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 21, 2022) — A unique Duesenberg reprised its early role as Concours winner by taking the top prize at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This year, 220 cars from 19 countries and 33 states pulled onto the competition field of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the car named Best of Show was the 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo of Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“This rare Duesenberg marries American might with European style,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “It did well in some early rallies and concours. Then, its history took a turn, with chassis separated from body. The story of its resurrection is one of pure passion.”
An American car last won Best of Show in 2013, when a 1934 Packard Twelve took the top spot. Duesenberg has long been the winningest American marque at Pebble Beach, with six prior wins; this win brings its total to seven.
“My goodness, we’re overwhelmed,” Penny Anderson exclaimed. “We just can’t believe we won Best of Show! We’ve met so many people through the years, enjoyed all the people that participate. It’s just a joy and an honor to be here.”
“We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve come close in the past,“ said Lee, “but we’ve never won actually, so Penny is right, it’s overwhelming. All the preparation—the story behind this car is just amazing. There’s only one Figoni Duesenberg, ever ever, and it’s this one right here. So, it’s like all these things coming together to make a real champion. We’re so excited.”
This year’s race for Best of Show featured other strong contenders, including Fritz Burkard’s 1937 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé, Sam and Emily Mann’s 1930 Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet, and Merle and Peter Mullin’s 1951 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Stabilimenti Farina Cabriolet.
The Pebble Beach Concours raised more than $2.67 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $35 million to date. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these funds will benefit more than 95 local charities, impacting the lives of more than 10,000 children annually in Monterey County.
Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluded its 18th annual Pebble Beach Auctions this weekend, realizing over $105 million in sales. Several star cars set new world records, including the 1990 Ferrari F40, which sold for $3,965,000, and the 1994 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, which achieved $3,167,500. The top sale of the weekend was a stunningly elegant 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, which achieved a final sale price of $10,345,000.
The 72nd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2023, and will celebrate famed coachbuilder Joseph Figoni and Pegaso. Additional 2023 features include Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis, and American Dream Cars of the 1950s—with more features to be announced in the early fall.

1932 DUESENBERG J FIGONI SPORTS TORPEDO NAMED BEST OF SHOW AT THE 71ST PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (August 21, 2022) — A unique Duesenberg reprised its early role as Concours winner by taking the top prize at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
This year, 220 cars from 19 countries and 33 states pulled onto the competition field of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the car named Best of Show was the 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni Sports Torpedo of Lee R. Anderson Sr.
“This rare Duesenberg marries American might with European style,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “It did well in some early rallies and concours. Then, its history took a turn, with chassis separated from body. The story of its resurrection is one of pure passion.”
An American car last won Best of Show in 2013, when a 1934 Packard Twelve took the top spot. Duesenberg has long been the winningest American marque at Pebble Beach, with six prior wins; this win brings its total to seven.
“My goodness, we’re overwhelmed,” Penny Anderson exclaimed. “We just can’t believe we won Best of Show! We’ve met so many people through the years, enjoyed all the people that participate. It’s just a joy and an honor to be here.”
“We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve come close in the past,“ said Lee, “but we’ve never won actually, so Penny is right, it’s overwhelming. All the preparation—the story behind this car is just amazing. There’s only one Figoni Duesenberg, ever ever, and it’s this one right here. So, it’s like all these things coming together to make a real champion. We’re so excited.”
This year’s race for Best of Show featured other strong contenders, including Fritz Burkard’s 1937 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Figoni & Falaschi Teardrop Coupé, Sam and Emily Mann’s 1930 Duesenberg J Graber Cabriolet, and Merle and Peter Mullin’s 1951 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Stabilimenti Farina Cabriolet.
The Pebble Beach Concours raised more than $2.67 million for charity this year, bringing the event’s total charitable donations to over $35 million to date. Through the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the primary charitable partner of the Concours, these funds will benefit more than 95 local charities, impacting the lives of more than 10,000 children annually in Monterey County.
Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, concluded its 18th annual Pebble Beach Auctions this weekend, realizing over $105 million in sales. Several star cars set new world records, including the 1990 Ferrari F40, which sold for $3,965,000, and the 1994 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, which achieved $3,167,500. The top sale of the weekend was a stunningly elegant 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante, which achieved a final sale price of $10,345,000.
The 72nd Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will take place on Sunday, August 20, 2023, and will celebrate famed coachbuilder Joseph Figoni and Pegaso. Additional 2023 features include Invicta, Mercedes-Benz S / SS / SSK, McLaren, Alvis, and American Dream Cars of the 1950s—with more features to be announced in the early fall.
