Quick TakeThis Chopard Happy Sport Métiers d'Art is like finding a polar bear cub playfully frolicking amidst a diamond-dusted snowdrift. The whimsical dance of the diamonds against the opal and mother-of-pearl ice floe backdrop captures the serene beauty of the Arctic. Yet, beneath this playful exterior lies a horological powerhouse. The watch boasts an impressive 65-hour power reserve, ensuring that even if left undisturbed over the weekend, it will be ready to greet you with a wagging tail (or should I say, ticking hands?) come Monday morning. Its exclusivity, limited to a mere eight pieces, makes it rarer than a sighting of the elusive Arctic unicorn—a true testament to Chopard's dedication to craftsmanship and artistry.

DescriptionThe Chopard Happy Sport Métiers d'Art, Ref. 274425-1001, is an ultra-limited edition timepiece of only eight pieces. At its heart beats the Chopard Caliber 96.23-L, a self-winding mechanical movement with a remarkable 65-hour power reserve, thanks to its L.U.C Twin Technology. The movement, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, boasts a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and comprises 168 components, including 29 jewels. Measuring Ø 27.40 mm in diameter and 3.30 mm in thickness, this intricate mechanism is visible through a sapphire crystal case-back.

Encased in 18k white gold, the watch features a 40 mm diameter case, measuring 13.63 mm in thickness. The bezel is adorned with 9.04 carats of white diamonds, adding a touch of brilliance. The dial is a masterpiece of artistry, crafted from white gold and featuring an ice floe motif in opal and textured mother-of-pearl. Invisible-set triangle-cut diamonds further enhance the dial's allure. A mobile polar bear, rendered in ethical 18k white gold and set with a pear-shaped diamond, brilliant-cut diamonds, cabochon-cut onyx, and cabochon-cut sapphires, takes center stage. Three triangle-cut dancing diamonds complete the captivating scene. Completing the design is a blue alligator leather strap with a nacreous finish and an 18k white gold pin buckle. This extraordinary timepiece is a testament to Chopard's commitment to both horological excellence and ethical practices.
