With the L’Heure du Diamant watch collection, Chopard has pulled together all the skills of its goldsmiths, gemsetters and watchmakers.

Infused with a delightful 1970s spirit, these diamond bedecked timepieces sparkle with timeless charm.

Previously introduced in round or oval versions, L’Heure du Diamant watches now appear with a case shaped like a vibrant heart, of which the steady beat is evoked by the hand-engraved guilloché motif gracing the mother-of-pearl dial.

Two versions, in 18ct rose or white gold, are paired with a gold link bracelet and a white mother-of-pearl dial. Two others are teamed with a blue or burgundy leather strap and feature a mother-of-pearl dial in matching shades.
