Chopard Relaunches Happy Diamonds for Its 50th Anniversary

The maison pairs the original floating‑diamond design with in‑house movements, recycled Lucent Steel, certified gemstones, ethical 18K gold to meet modern luxury expectations.

Overview

  • Chopard launched a global 50th‑anniversary campaign on Tuesday that reissues ‘Happy Diamond Heritage’ pieces and introduces new Happy Sport watches and pendants.
  • The 34 mm Happy Diamonds Heritage watch now houses Chopard’s in‑house 10.01‑C hand‑wound movement with a 45‑hour power reserve and 21 floating diamonds, while a 24 mm quartz Heritage carries nine floating stones.
  • The refreshed pieces keep signature visual cues such as the cushion‑shaped case and onyx dial but refine finishing and proportions to echo the 1976 originals.
  • Material and sourcing updates include Lucent Steel made with at least 80% recycled content, Responsible Jewelry Council‑certified stones, and ethical 18‑karat gold.
  • Caroline Scheufele anchors the campaign in personal storytelling about the collection’s origin and selected ambassadors Bella Hadid and Liu Wen to underscore the line’s emotional and modern appeal.
