150 Years of Chopard: Animals as Watches

StumbleUpon Toolbar | No Comments | 2 TrackBacks

As part of their 150th birthday, Chopard has release a animal-themed watch collection alongside the jewelry, previously mentioned; All three of these pieces are within the "Happy Diamonds" collection, so the small round diamonds on the dial are actually mobile, free to bounce around the face of the watch. All are quartz (sigh) movement, in 18kt gold cases with white diamonds set in the bezel. The dials are painted mother-of-pearl.

First is the penguin, set with white, black and yellow diamonds. The dial has the rest of his flock as a background.

A polar bear follows, in white gold set entirely in white diamonds except for onyx eyes over a painted ice floe.

Finally a monkey, in white gold set with white diamonds, climbing on a yellow-diamond set branch passes a green leaf. In this one the branch and the monkey separate the three mobile diamonds, each cannot leave its allotted third.
