Originally created in the late 1970's, Chopard's Happy Diamond jewelry is a design motif uniquely iconic to Chopard. Created by setting diamonds in tapered bezel set mounts in between two slices of crystal, the diamonds are allowed to move freely with the wearer while remaining contained within it's case. This particular watch has the playful motif floating around the dial and delights the eye whenever and wherever the jewel is worn with its movement and sense of whimsy.
