Founded in 1860 in Sonvilier (Switzerland) by Louis-Ulysse Chopard, Chopard stands for innovation, quality craftsmanship and authenticity. Under the impetus of the Scheufele family, who bought the company in 1963, Chopard experienced a spectacular development. Renowned for its creativity, its high level of vertical integration and its state-of-the-art technology, it has become one of the leading names in the high-class watch and jewellery industry and remains to this day an independent family company. The Chopard collections have become worldwide icons, including sparkling jewellery (Happy Diamonds, IMPERIALE collections), gents’ sports watches (Classic Racing collection), complicated mechanical timepieces (L.U.C collection), ladies’ sports and dress watches and Haute Joaillerie creations.
