The exhibition is led by the emblematic statement that started it all – “Diamonds are happier when they are free,” and showcases Chopard’s artisanal heritage and craftsmanship.
Through six different rooms (or chapters as they are called) the exhibition takes guests through the creative process that led to the iconic Happy Sport timepiece that has been a mainstay of the Maison since 1993.
The highly instagrammable exhibition also brings to life how the Happy Sport collection embodies the spirit of joie de vivre and the free-spirited modern woman.

The final chapter of the exhibition ends with the union between Cortina Watch and Chopard where guests will be able to see two special edition watches by the Maison.
These are the Happy Hearts Cortina 50th Anniversary and Happy Moon Cortina 50th Anniversary watches which are each produced in extremely limited quantities.

The Happy Hearts Cortina 50th Anniversary timepiece, which has had only 50 pieces produced, is fitted with a 36 mm stainless steel case and red alligator leather strap.
The watch is fitted with a white dial and features five diamonds and a red heart that move freely on the watch face. The diamonds depict five decades since the humble beginnings of Cortina Watch while the heart represents Cortina Watch’s ongoing efforts to give back to the community.
True enough, net proceeds from the sale of this watch will be donated to the Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF).
