Press Release: Chopard & The Hour Glass 40th Anniversary Special Edition

Chopard & The Hour Glass 40th Anniversary Special Edition

In celebration of The Hour Glass 40th Anniversary, Chopard has collaborated with The Hour Glass to produce a special Happy Sport. Available in 50-piece limited edition and numbered, this 36mm watch in stainless steel celebrates the essence of the collection translating the message of joy and free spirit.


The Happy Sport collection is the emblem of Chopard's creativity and boldness. Its playful, free-spinning gems, dancing between two sapphire crystals, have captured the imagination since 1993, when Chopard became the first Maison to combine steel and diamonds. Little diamonds do great things.

This special Happy Sport timepiece is imbued with five dreamlike and playful dancing charms consisting of a laughing 18K rose gold sun, one diamond-set 18K rose gold moon and three diamond-set 18K rose gold stars swirling playfully in a joyful display of light under the sapphire glass paired with a red alligator leather strap. The guilloche mother-of-pearl dial richly accentuates the rose gold Roman numerals and finely crafted details. Its inimitable aura channels a wealth of emotional connotations, unfailingly bringing a ray of light to daily life.

Chopard and The Hour Glass have established a strong and long-standing relationship through the years. We are proud of this partnership and it gives us immense pleasure to congratulate The Hour Glass on its astounding achievements and we look forward to strengthening the relationship with many more exciting collaborations in the following years.
