Chopard | Men & Ladies Watches | Watches World

Chopard has a history that dates back to 1860 when Louis-Ulysse Chopard started designing and creating attractive pocket watches. When Chopard’s son and grandson took over, they moved Chopard to Geneva in 1937 where the company expanded to employ over a hundred employees. Chopard’s timepieces bore the Geneva Seal to prove that their movements were made in Geneva. In 1963, German watchmaker and goldsmith Karl Scheufele III bought Chopard. He combined his expertise and experience in horology to start manufacturing watches and jewelry. Chopard’s wristwatches featured a diamond floating in a sapphire, a natural touch of a jeweler. Chopard’s success leaps knew no bounds when in 1996, the company started making its movements. Chopard’s movement factory was established to produce movements for high-caliber watches in Chopard’s collection. From the Chopards to the Scheufeles, the brand has been referred to as a business built on family trust, a melting point of unity, ingenuity, confidence, and dedication to quality. Chopard is also known as the red carpet brand, a term that profoundly resonates and signifies the brand’s track record of creating sophisticated and coveted timepieces. The most iconic being the Happy Diamonds but also has an array of collections and models that perfectly blends style and class.
