The Swiss fashion house presented for the first time its superlative creations at Paris Haute Couture Week Joaillerie, held in the City of Light from January 25 to 29, 2015. This unique event demonstrates the entry of Chopard in ‘Olympus of Fédération Française de la Couture , du Prêt-à-Porter, des couturiers and Créateurs de Mode as a member “jeweler”.
The collection opens a unique creation; a watch, “a secret” diamond-encrusted and hidden under a glittering hedgehog moonstone. The muzzle bustling, entirely covered with diamonds and sapphires to illuminate the eyes, jealously hides a secret: touching the jewel turns, revealing a cuddly puppy hedgehog that wraps the face of a Hérisson clock. The aura of mystery and the extraordinary beauty make this timepiece “a secret” and a work of art, from the nostalgic and aristocratic. A collaboration of over 30 skilled craftsmen, marks the highest point of the Animal World collection, presented at Fashion Week along with the Red Carpet collections, inspired by the world of cinema, and Green Carpet, which demonstrates the interest for a sustainable Chopard jeweler.
The legendary creativity that Chopard uses transports the viewer into a lucky, rich, enchanted world, inhabited by peacocks and mythical urobori who lend shapely sparkling earrings, but also caterpillars and squirrels for brooches and necklaces. In the Parisian event, this series of dream-like animal forms joins precious pendants and rings of unique elegance, a reminder to the world of cinema and the great Dive.
The Haute Joaillerie constitutes a true center of excellence within the world of Chopard, who thanks to the passion for crafts and craftsmen, have created marvelous dream jewels.
