Chopard watch

Pre-owned Chopard watches: Swiss watchmaking at the service of emotion

A Chopard watch does more than simply measure the passage of time. It captures the moment, reveals a personality, and expresses a refined art of living. Since 1860, this Swiss manufacturer has combined watchmaking tradition and creative innovation to give birth to exceptional timepieces.

At Castafiore, our selection of pre-owned Chopard watches opens the doors to a world where every second counts, where every detail tells a story of excellence passed down through generations. From dancing diamonds to horological complications, each creation reveals a unique expertise where rose gold enhances the purest diamonds.

This ethical approach to luxury watchmaking appeals to both men and women seeking authenticity, revealing diamonds of exceptional purity in refined rose gold settings.

The Chopard legacy: from Louis-Ulysse to contemporary excellence

The adventure began in 1860 in the Swiss Jura, when Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded his watchmaking factory in Sonvilier. Driven by a passion for precision, this 24-year-old watchmaker laid the foundations of a company that would endure through the centuries without ever compromising its standards of quality.

In 1963, the Scheufele family took over the reins of Chopard and breathed new creative life into this exceptional watchmaker, developing iconic collections that have marked the history of timekeeping. This family legacy is based on an exemplary ethical approach, respectful of artisanal traditions and fundamental human values.

Ethical commitment then becomes the foundation of a watchmaking philosophy that prioritizes the responsible sourcing of diamonds and precious metals.

This family tradition explains the stylistic consistency that characterizes every Chopard watch. From the Happy Sport quartz to the clean lines of the Alpine Eagle, each creation bears the imprint of expertise passed down from master to apprentice. The pre-owned Chopard watches we offer bear witness to this creative continuity, revealing aesthetic codes that have evolved while preserving the essence of the Swiss brand. Rose gold has become a recurring signature, bringing warmth and refinement to the most iconic creations.

Every man and woman finds in this chromatic palette an expression of their personality, whether it be models adorned with diamonds or more minimalist creations. Chopard's ethical philosophy influences every detail, from the choice of materials to the final design, guaranteeing that each diamond meets the strictest ethical standards.

Innovation at the heart of tradition

Chopard revolutionized watchmaking in 1976 with the creation of the Happy Diamonds, the first watch to incorporate moving diamonds between two sapphires. This technical innovation quickly became the brand's signature, giving rise to iconic collections such as the Happy Sport and the Happy Hearts.

These dancing diamonds transform every movement of the wrist into a luminous spectacle, creating a unique connection between the watch and its owner. Each moving diamond tells a story of freedom and elegance, revealing the Chopard art of living through these precious stones in perpetual motion. The innovation of these free-moving diamonds revolutionizes the traditional approach to watchmaking, creating a new aesthetic language where each diamond becomes an active participant in the passage of time.

An ethical approach also guides Chopard's choices, a pioneer in the use of responsibly sourced gold and certified diamonds. This ethical approach adds a further dimension to pre-owned watches, demonstrating a commitment that goes beyond simply measuring time. The Swiss manufacturer thus develops ethical watchmaking that respects the environment and communities, guaranteeing that every diamond comes from responsible sources.

This ethical philosophy influences every creation, from the choice of materials to the final finish.
