Chopard’s latest ladies’ timepiece collection effortlessly and elegantly blurs the line between haute horlogerie and high jewelry offering models that will be breathtakingly beautiful on any wrist.

Chopard, the Swiss-based luxury watch, jewelry and accessories manufacturer that was founded in 1860, originally focused on the manufacture of precision chronometers and pocket watches by using innovative technology.  Now known for high-precision watches and high jewelry, the L’Heure du Diamant (Time of the Diamonds) collection reinforces the Chopard position in the industry as being among the best of the best.

The collection features three unique pieces, all embellished with 18 carat white gold and navette and brilliant-cut stones.  One of the models features a diamond encrusted rectangular-shaped dial combined with a lovely dark stained strap in royal blue; while stunning, the two other watches in the collection have been described as “show stoppers.”  One of these show stopping watches has a circular dial and strap that are fully set with brilliant-cut and navette-cut diamonds, while the remaining “show stopper” model boasts of a rectangular dial and strap that is fully set with only brilliant-cut diamonds.

All three timepieces have mechanical or quartz movement depending on the shape of the dial, are hand-wound and are made according to Chopard’s high standards of precision watch manufacture.
