Wilkommen bei den Schatten » Chopard Happy Sport Women's Watch

Chopard Happy Sport Women's Watch Happy Sport is one of the most famous and iconic women’s watch collections from Swiss Chopard. Mainly for women. When I think back to when Chopard first introduced the floating dial diamond concept as a men’s cocktail style watch, I still laugh at the widespread popularity of the Happy Diamonds and Happy Sport watches. Chopard soon transitioned the Happy Diamonds collection to women – and the Happy Sport collection was born. This watch family is an interesting combination of fashionable fission, practical and versatile wearability, and animation jewelry playfulness. The interior of each Happy Sport watch features a floating set of diamonds that move freely within their respective dial layers.

Granted, not all wearers will like the idea of a watch whose purpose is to obscure the dial with shiny elements. I've heard that some women completely reject the idea of a watch with diamonds on the hands and hour markers, while others love the concept. No jewelry or watch design is right for everyone, and in some cases, the more polarizing a design is, the better. This particular Chopard Happy Sport (ref. 278608-3006) is a quirkier version of the model, featuring a blue-purple gradient printed alligator leather strap and matching dial style. Some women will love this look, while others find it simply impossible to incorporate it into their fashion sense. The "Purple Night" dial, as Chopard calls it, is created using guilloché decoration and color painting techniques.

The case is 33mm wide (12.65mm thick), made of Chopard Lucent steel (a high-grade steel made mostly from recycled steel and capable of a very high polish), and is water-resistant to 30 meters (not too sporty) There is a domed sapphire crystal above the dial and movement window. Inside the watch is a Chopard-made movement, the Chopard 09.01-C automatic movement. This more petite 26 mm wide and 3.6 mm thick self-winding movement runs at 3.5 Hz and has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Automatic women's watches rarely come with in-house movements, so Chopard falls into the same category as other rare brands like Rolex.

If you've never used a Happy Sport watch before, the concept of floating diamonds may be difficult to understand. What’s even more interesting is that both the Chopard Happy Diamond and Happy Sport watches use floating diamonds and behave differently. Small changes in variables such as the distance between the sapphire crystals in the interlayer and the shape of the diamond settings can have a huge impact on their movement and performance. For example, in this watch, the five set diamonds move relatively freely, and you can even hear the sound of them colliding with each other. I've played with other Happy Sport watches in the past where the diamonds move more slowly because they stay higher between layers and spin like little tops as they move. I think some wearers may have a problem with the sound of the diamonds moving (again, you can't hear them in all Happy Sport watches), while others will enjoy it as the sound may accentuate other worn jewelry items. Existing jingles.

Chopard inlaid more diamonds on the bezel as decoration, and the total diamond weight of the entire watch reached 1.49 carats. The crown is set with a cabochon of blue sapphire crystal. While the watch sounds a bit thick, it does have an automatic movement, and the shape of the case helps make it look small on the wrist. The 33mm wide size is a good general diameter for many women’s wrists today – big enough to be considered modern, but not so big that it doubles as a men’s watch (I say that to put this watch Contrast this with other watches) Female wearers are particularly interested in wearing men's watches). The overall wear resistance, coupled with the comfortable strap, looks quite good.

Reading the time on the dial is very simple, although the hands are forced to be on the flatter side given the construction of the case and dial. Chopard requires an intermediate layer and additional sapphire crystal to set the diamonds. At the same time, it wants to reduce the overall thickness of the case. Therefore, most Happy Sport watches have quartz movements as they are generally thinner and allow for a slimmer case construction. Watch enthusiasts generally prefer mechanical movements, and Chopard does an excellent job of making high-quality movements in-house. Therefore, a jeweled watch like this, coupled with a solid automatic movement (and a colorful design), makes it less of a mainstream luxury watch for women and more of a stand-in among the many similar men's products. The ultimate luxury watch for women. The price isn't particularly affordable, but it's a low-production, prestigious timepiece.
