WATCHES
CHOPARD – Happy Fish
It was in 1993 that Caroline Scheufele created
one of the Chopard icons, the Happy Sport
watch. Ever since, recurrently reinterpreted
over the years in occasionally humorous and
consistently elegant ways, it has appeared
under countless highly evocative identities.
Today, the beautiful Happy Fish collection
is enriched with a splendid model. This
watch vividly evoking the underwater world
showcases artistic crafts applied to creating
a poetically romantic effect. The textured
mother-of-pearl and gold leaf fish swims
gently amid an ocean of blue sapphires,
appearing to make its way around seven
moving diamonds. Amid the darkness of the
depths, a gentle turquoise light suffuses this
splendid luminescent décor. The exquisite
jewellery craftsmanship continues on the
bezel, set with diamonds of three different
alternating sizes for a softer effect. This
25-piece limited edition is exclusively available
in Chopard boutiques and corners.

Harry Winston presents the Premier Moon Phase 36 mm, a poetic
and surprising timepiece. Whereas in the majority of moon-phase
mechanisms, the moon disappears completely before beginning
a new cycle, here the golden moon takes cover behind a delicate
mother-of-pearl lattice, hidden but not completely out of sight.
This supremely elegant design echoes the light and shade cast
between Earth and the sun. The deep blue mother-of-pearl sky
forms an eloquent contrast with the immaculate white mother-
of-pearl dial, a composition that irresistibly draws the eye to
the centre of the watch. Bringing this magical tableau to life, 18
brilliant-cut diamonds are set just above the date at 6 o'clock,
like a sunbeam reflecting the halo of precious stones that adorn
the dial, bezel, arches and buckle. Together they form a dazzling
ensemble of 104 diamonds for 2.58 carats.
