Kong celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Chopard Happy Sport, a watch renowned for its 'dancing diamonds' that appear to spin rather than slide. This post highlights Chopard's 2013 initiative to introduce a personalization program, allowing customers to uniquely customize their Happy Sport watches. Kong provides a detailed look at the configurator experience and the various 'lucky charms' available for the 36mm Happy Sport Medium.

2013 is 20th anniversary of the Chopard's Happy Sport, one of most iconic watch not only for Chopard but among the Lady watches in the market since her creation, incorporating dancing diamonds waltzing above the dial.  It was not  till 2008, which I discovered the marvel of Happy Sport and the engineering feat of diamonds spinning above the dial and underneath the crystal without scratching it!  Yes, please note the word - 'Spinning' and not sliding !  

It is best to illustrate with an old video of a Valentine gift with the lively diamonds & heart  smile




This year, Chopard will focus on personalization or customization, enabling every Happy Sport to be unique. The customer will have a choice of what to add into the Happy Sport besides the dancing diamonds.  Thus it is up to the fancy, mood and creativity of the new owner, with many permutations of moving elements/mobiles to choose from.

Let's have a look at what the configurator has to offer in the Boutiques ...


The Happy Sport Corner ...sweet white and  pink theme ...


Customers could sit and create prototypes on their own with assistance of the boutique staff ...


Year of the Happy Sport and the evolution ...



At the moment, the pilot programme will be with  the 36mm diameter  Happy Sport Medium ...


The pink configurator with options of various straps and moving elements/ mobiles ...












The currently available moving elements/mobiles (or lucky charms) ... I guess more options will be available soon ...


The lucky clover ...


The purple heart ...





The delightful Le Papillon ...


Horseshoe Charm ...


Auspicious "8"


Pisces


Lucky Star


Alphabet 'O'


'E'


The Happy Sport Medium Steel with the crystal removed ... so customers could place the moving elements inside ... assist in visualizing how the actual piece will be ...


Types of straps available .... from alligator, rubber to satin type ...











Place the moving elements inside to simulate ...


Have fun trying out various mix & match ...


Alter your choices of straps ...





Will be nice the straps have the quick-change system ... that will provide versatility for the Ladies...



Note down your combinations of moving elements ...and type of straps .... place the order ... simple 3-step smile


For friends & customers who are far away from boutiques, let the fingers do the walking!

An app or/and online page will soon be available for you to do your customization ....



A quick run through of the app  on iPad (hopefully Android version is available too)  ...



The app can also provide suggestions with the " Start with an inspiration"  otherwise can proceed directly to "Personalise Your Happy Sport" ...


Options of case material, bezel configurations ...







Choose straps and moving elements.  Once decided, the configuration app will store a copy of the customer's creation and generate a unique order-code and estimated price for the customer to order... through the Boutiques, authorised retailers ... perhaps foreseeable future, order online.

For order through the boutiques, if there are stocks for the components in factory,  the lead-time is short  -  2 to 3 weeks.


So, Happy Sport Medium now can be configured to your likings or other half's preference ... an idea for your next gift,perhaps smile.
Ladies, its time to customize a unique piece for yourselves smile
