Art is a secret within a secret, and the new Chopard Laguna watch from the Red Carpet Collection perfectly embodies this sentiment.
A Jewel of Poetry and Craftsmanship
This extraordinary jewelry watch, inspired by a tropical lagoon with its vibrant seabed, seamlessly combines poetry, emotion, and the impeccable craftsmanship characteristic of Haute Joaillerie and fine watchmaking.
Hidden within a mysterious shell-like casing, the Laguna watch tells a story of the harmonious blend of Chopard’s expertise in horology and jewelry tradition. Under the artistic direction of Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director, the maison’s artisans have crafted this masterpiece, bringing to life the enchanting world of nature. The watch evokes fairy-tale imagery, nostalgic childhood memories, and the allure of mythical legends.
Design and Intricacy
This radiant bracelet watch features a central pearl surrounded by a palette of sapphire hues, ranging from pastel blue to pink and purple, wrapping around its mesmerizing dial. The creation of this intricate microcosm required over 1,000 hours of meticulous work, delicately combining ethical gold and titanium to master the technical challenges of its artistic construction.
The Laguna watch embodies a captivating paradox—it conceals the hours and minutes while commanding attention with its stunning play of colors and shapes. Its technicolor brilliance creates the impression of a timeless treasure.
