this design was the biggest success in the history of chopard. designer
ronald kurowski was inspired by water droplets sparkling in the sunshine at a waterfall and decided to design a mens watch with moving diamonds, that also flash in the sun. it was never meant for regular production as it was a one-of-a-kind entry into the annual ‘Golden Rose of Baden Baden’ – the highest price a jewels design could win at that time. the happy diamonds watch won easy, but there have been no plans for a commercial production. jewelers started ordering the nameless watch in large numbers and so chopard finally gave the watch the name happy diamonds and started the production.
