Manifesting casual luxury in the most decadent style is this Chopard Happy Sport, where a solid steel case and a rubber bracelet are paired with luscious diamonds in unique harmony. This watch, reference 278943-2001, emphasises the maison’s incredible ingenuity and savoir-faire with its excellent gem-setting and elegant appeal. It brings a modest 34mm round case elevated by finely shaped lugs and a polished finish. The bezel is faceted and decked with diamonds, radiating a jewellery-like aura.

The snowflake motif, which has made an appearance in several Chopard creations, comes alive, all dressed up in sustainably sourced diamonds on this watch. It dances poetically atop the dial between the two sapphire crystals alongside three other freely floating diamonds. Additionally, the dial paints the picture of a winter-land with a white backdrop punctuated by snowflake motifs all over. It is impressive to see that Chopard has maintained essential functionality even in this timepiece that sways heavily towards aesthetics. Luminous hour markers and hands, the date window at six, and a reliable quartz movement reveal the balanced watchmaking approach of the maison.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
