Swiss watch and jewellery house Chopard has unveiled new high jewellery watches designed specifically for the Qatari market.

The four new L’Heure du Diamant models and the two high jewellery watches bedecked with exception and rare pearls were created in collaboration with Al Fardan Jewellery, Chopard’s partner in the Gulf state.

Embodying a perfect blend of purity, radiance and mystery, diamonds sublimate the charms of any woman who adorns herself with these gems, and Chopard Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele, has consistently honoured them in her creations including the L’Heure du Diamant collection. 

There are four new models in this collection, all featuring exceptional coloured dials. They highlight exquisite and unique dials with an array of majestic and royal colours comprising blue, green, burgundy and purple.

All feature an 18-karat white gold case, a crown in 18-karat white gold set with an authentic diamond, and a total of 51 diamonds and one briolette.

Meanwhile, the new beautifully adorned pearl watches have been created by Chopard’s skillful craftsmen in Geneva. From draughtsmen to watchmakers, jewelers, gem-setters and polishers, the various artisans pool their talents to give life to the boldest dreams. These haute joaillerie watches combine the respective strengths of Chopard’s two fields of expertise to compose a dazzling collection born of a unique synergy between the thirty-odd artistic crafts within its workshops. 

There are two unique pieces in the pearl line.

One has an 18-karat white gold case, a white mother-of-pearl dial, 26 half-pearls, 70 pearls, and 422 diamonds. 

The other has an 18-karat white gold case, a white mother-of-pearl dial set with 26 diamonds, 44 half-pearls, 82 diamonds and another 16 diamonds for the buckle.
