Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded his eponymous watch making workshop in 1860 in North West Switzerland. His son, Paul Louis Chopard moved the company to Geneva in 1921. In 1963, the firm was sold to Karl Scheufele, a watchmaker from Pforzheim, Germany, whose family still own the firm today.

The ‘happy diamond’, a free floating brilliant-cut diamond behind clear sapphire crystal is a signature of the brand.
