The partnership between the Chopard Company and the Cannes Film Festival started in 1997. It was initiated by the meeting between Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, Chopard Co-President, and Pierre Viot, President of the festival. By Viot’s request, Mrs. Gruosi-Scheufele with the team of Chopard master craftsmen redesigned the Golden palm award. The Palme d’Or redesigned by Chopard was unveiled on May 24, 1998.

The partnership between Chopard and the Cannes Film Festival continued with Chopard’s introduction of a new award to promote creativity in films. Since 2001, the Chopard Trophy has been awarded to two young actors as Male and Female Revelation of the Year.

During the festivals, for every red carpet, the Chopard Company dresses celebrities in its jewelry pieces and watches. The company employs a staff of over 100 people who work with the stars at a suite of offices at the Carleton Hotel. Chopard is credited in all the magazines covering the event.[citation needed]

To mark the 60th Anniversary of the festival, for the Cannes Film Festival 2007 opening ceremony the Chopard Company developed the Red Carpet Collection in cooperation with Valentino. Caroline Scheufele created 60 high jewellery pieces inspired by the celebrities at Cannes, while Valentino designed ten gowns to complement ten of the company’s jewels.[1]

Chopard is a Geneva-based luxury watch, jewelry, and accessories company founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard at the age of 24. Chopard initially concentrated on developing precise pocket watches and chronometers based upon innovative ideas. Chopard is regarded as a manufacture, in other words that they make many of their watches and movements in-house rather than using the base movements (ebauches) of other manufacturers. Chopard, which also has production facilities in Fleurier, is one of four participating brands in the Fleurier Quality Foundation (together with Bovet, Parmigiani and Vaucher), which certifies a very high level of quality to manufactured watches (www.fleurier-quality.com). The “Qualite Fleurier” standard is meant to compete with the Geneva standards such as the exclusive Geneva Seal manufacturing standard.

Blog: Chopard Happy Sport Chrono Women’s Watch Gets a Masculine Face Lift

August 12th, 2009 admin Comments off

Chopard is a Geneva-based luxury watch, jewelry, and accessory company founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard at the age of 24. Chopard initially concentrated on developing precise pocket watches and chronometers based upon innovative ideas. But, over the time, the manufacture also went into jewelry making and luxury watches.
The Happy Sport collection appeared in 1993, new models being added to it on a regular basis. The latest to join the timepieces in this collection is the fresh Happy Sport Chrono women’s watch. Chopard Happy Sport watches are a highly luxurious yet playful series of watches designed for ladies with an appreciation for elegance. The most prominent features of the Happy Sport are the floating diamonds inside the dial.
The Chopard Happy Sport collection has always stood out, since the mobile diamonds in the dials of these watches make them immediately recognizable, and highly fashionable. This year, Chopard has brought out what just might be the boldest, most distinctive Happy Sport timepiece yet, by overhauling the women’s Happy Sport Chrono watch and give it a more masculine touch.

If it wasn’t for the floating diamonds and Happy Sport name, the timepiece might have been easily mistaken for a men’s watch. The rounded links in the bracelet have been made more angular, while the deeply grooved rotating bezel is a reminder of how hard this woman’s watch can punch. It is a pretty rough watch for something featuring the word “Happy” in the title.
Although its price will be over $5,000, this Chopard Happy Sport Chrono watch will have a Swiss quartz movement and will be in stainless steel. The diamonds literally move around freely although they are placed in a metal setting – in a middle plane between two sapphire crystals. The dial with the chronograph subdials is below.
