Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Happy Sport launched in 1993 with a single idea that has kept the collection in print ever since: five brilliant-cut diamonds loose between the dial and the crystal, free to drift with every movement of the wrist. Nothing in watchmaking quite replicates it — the stones catch light unpredictably, and the effect is less decoration than spectacle in miniature. The 09.01-C is Chopard's own self-winding movement, built in-house, and its presence here is not incidental. A manufacture calibre in a watch whose personality is so visually led is a deliberate choice, and the see-through caseback lets you see the argument made plainly. The guilloché centre on the dial and the sapphire-set crown read as details that belong to one another, the kind of finishing that holds up at close range rather than existing purely for photographs.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 42 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
Goldsmiths has been selling watches in Britain since 1778 and is part of the Watches of Switzerland Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. They are an authorised dealer, so a watch comes with the manufacturer’s own warranty.
