Dear friends,
Valentine's Day (as if we did not know it is 14th February) is upon us again.
It's that old devil called love again,
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again,
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams,
And rocks in my heart....
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do.....
With the help of the House of Chopard, you'll know what to do.
HERS:
The ladies are well catered for with many ways to express your love for them.
Happy Diamonds Joaillerie Watch
Happy Diamonds Joaillerie Watch 204445-1006
The show stopper for 2017 is the romantic delicacy in an 18-carat white gold case.
Watch her face lit up by the reflections from the white textured mother-of-pearl dial of the Happy Diamonds Joaillerie model.
Nobody can draw their eyes away from the joyful five diamonds and five ruby hearts spinning around. The stones shine more brightly now because of the prong-setting – a new feature introduced to mark the 40th anniversary of the Happy Diamonds range. The brilliant-cut gemstones around the bezel emphasise a dazzling whiteness infused with flaming red hearts of passion.
Happy Hearts Jewellery
When better than Valentine's Day to highlight one of Chopard's flagship lines – Happy Hearts.
A romantic variant of the Happy Diamonds theme, the motifs of spinning diamonds and hearts are captured in bracelets and rings with new materials.
These are chic and lively fashion for modern young women or the young-at-heart.
Happy Hearts Bangles
The bangle-style bracelets started it all last year alongside pendants and earrings set with coloured stones such as onyx or mother-of-pearl.
This year, diamonds are still a girl's best friend and Happy Heart rings are making a bling entrance to the collection.
Happy Hearts Rings
Matching the bracelet design, the bangle-style rings face each other in a graceful "pas de deux" – with colourful hearts around a dancing diamond at either end.
Two of the new rings are generous spherical models in rose or white gold – a bunch of coloured hearts around a smaller heart housing a moving diamond.

Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed Black
Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed Black
This sports watch was launched only 9 months ago.
From a passion for classic motor racing and cloaked in deep black, it joined the Mille Miglia GTS collection inspired by the legendary Italian 1000-mile race with Chopard as official timekeeper since 1988.
With red “Rossa Corsa” detailing, oversized numerals evoking 1950s dashboards, engine-style cut-outs and strap featuring a vintage Dunlop racing tyre-tread motif, the new Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed Black – issued in a 1,000-piece limited edition – perpetuates the Chopard classic racing spirit.
The red details also symbolise blood filled with passion....

Ref. 95013-0403
Although I placed this in the HIS section to bolster the numbers, it is really unisex and I've seen them in a lady's purse or hand bag before!
Might as well give up that fight again,
I know darn well he'll convince me, that he's right again,
When he sings that sorry song I'm just gonna tag along,
With that old devil called love....
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do.
That old devil called Love,
That old devil called Love.
'That Ole Devil Called Love' – Roberts & Fisher (1944)
