Chopard has long been recognized for its dedication to craftsmanship, technical innovation, and distinctive design. Originally founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the brand evolved from a precision watch manufacturer into a celebrated creator of fine jewelry watches, seamlessly blending horology with high jewelry expertise. After its incorporation, L.U.C quickly began renown for its precision timepieces, even supplying the court of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. After the Scheufele family acquired Chopard in 1963, the brand evolved into a powerhouse of luxury watchmaking, blending Swiss horological tradition with German craftsmanship. The pursuit of artistic elegance is perfectly encapsulated in the present timepiece, an extraordinary example of Chopard’s mastery in creating avant-garde designs that transcend conventional watchmaking. This exceptional bracelet watch is an artistic expression of fluidity and movement. The sculptural 18-karat yellow gold case and open-link bracelet exhibit a harmonious, organic design, where rounded and curved forms integrate seamlessly into a bold yet elegant composition. The asymmetrical dial showcases a warm champagne surface with a mirror-like finish, subtly playing with light. The dial is exceptionally signed by Tiffany & Co., signifying its exclusivity and highlighting the strong relationship between the two renowned maisons. Powered by a Chopard movement, this rare and unusual piece is a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence in both horology and jewelry.
