Chopard arrives at Watches & Wonders 2026 with a collection that moves fluidly between its two great strengths — technical manufacture watchmaking and high jewelry — while finding fresh expression across both. From a landmark anniversary edition honoring three decades of Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier to a new Happy Sport creation that trades traditional references for an unexpected denim strap, the Geneva-based Maison is making a compelling case for its range this season. Here is everything Chopard is presenting at Watches & Wonders 2026.

L.U.C 1860

Chopard marks the 30th anniversary of its Manufacture in Fleurier with a continuation model of the original, iconic L.U.C 1860 — a watch that carries genuine historical weight for the brand. When Chopard established its manufacture in Fleurier in 1996, it signaled a fundamental shift: a jewelry house committing fully to in-house mechanical watchmaking at the highest level. Three decades later, this new edition honors that founding moment while integrating the technical progress the Manufacture has achieved in the years since.

The watch is crafted in Lucent Steel™ and distinguished by its “Areuse Blue” dial — a color inspired by the Areuse River that flows near the Manufacture in the Val-de-Travers region. The 18-carat white gold dial is hand-guilloché with a sunburst pattern, executed on a vintage guilloché lathe operated by in-house artisans — a process that cannot be rushed and cannot be replicated by machine. The movement inside is the chronometer-certified L.U.C Calibre 96.40-L, a direct evolution of the very first movement conceived and produced by Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier in 1996. The watch is finished to Poinçon de Genève standards, guaranteeing exceptional craftsmanship for both the movement and the case. For collectors who understand what the L.U.C program represents, this is the anniversary edition worth knowing.

Happy Sport Happy Hearts

The Happy Sport universe has always been defined by the tension between the unexpected and the elegant — and the new Happy Sport Happy Hearts leans into that duality with particular confidence. The most immediately striking detail is the strap: an unexpected denim execution that sets an entirely relaxed, modern tone for a watch that is otherwise a study in refined choreography.

The 33mm Lucent Steel™ case houses a white mother-of-pearl dial on which two dancing hearts — one in luminous mother-of-pearl, the other in a rare pink-to-purple gradient — twirl alongside three iconic dancing diamonds. It is a poetic update of the Happy Hearts motif, reinterpreted as a dancing charm and set in motion alongside the hallmark free-moving diamonds that have defined Happy Sport since its 1993 debut — the creation that originally revolutionized watchmaking by pairing steel and diamonds in a celebration of joie de vivre. The in-house 09.01-C self-winding movement provides a 42-hour power reserve. This is Happy Sport at its most spirited.

Alpine Eagle 41 XPS

Following the success of the first Alpine Eagle 41 XPS with its ‘Monte Rosa’ pink dial, Chopard presents a new reference that marks the culmination of an iconic design: an ultra-thin watch combining high precision with exceptional finishing. The case is 41mm in diameter and just 8mm thick — crafted in Lucent Steel™ with a redesigned bracelet that reinforces the watch’s sleek, contemporary profile.

The dial introduces a new color called “Mountain Glow” — a subtle champagne shade evoking the warm radiance of the Alps as their peaks catch the final rays of sunlight at sunset. It is the kind of color that is almost impossible to describe accurately in words and must be seen in person, which is, of course, the point. Inside sits the L.U.C Calibre 96.40-L, the same movement that powers the L.U.C 1860 — a direct evolution of Chopard’s founding manufacture movement, with every component meticulously finished by hand to Poinçon de Genève standards. The Alpine Eagle 41 XPS in Mountain Glow is the kind of watch that rewards daily wear and long-term ownership in equal measure.

L’Heure du Diamant

The latest L’Heure du Diamant creation is Chopard’s most jewelry-forward statement at Watches & Wonders 2026 — and one of the most visually striking watches the Maison is presenting this season. The cushion-shaped case in ethical white gold frames an onyx dial whose velvety black depth is illuminated by 4.40 carats of diamonds set using Chopard’s signature crown-setting — a technique that elevates each stone, maximizing its brilliance against the dark ground. Diamond-set indexes and hands add further light to the composition, creating a piece that reads as much as a jewel as a timepiece.

The movement inside is the in-house 09.01-C self-winding caliber, underscoring Chopard’s dual mastery of fine watchmaking and high jewelry — a combination that very few houses in the world can credibly claim. The L’Heure du Diamant has always represented Chopard’s most direct expression of that duality, and this new onyx and diamond edition is among the collection’s most compelling entries to date.

Chopard’s Watches & Wonders 2026 collection is, taken as a whole, a clear statement of identity — a Maison equally at home in the Manufacture halls of Fleurier and the high jewelry ateliers of Geneva, and increasingly confident in the space where those two worlds intersect. All four references are worth seeing in person during the fair.
