Happy Diamonds or Move
Chopard · Messika
Happy Diamonds
Diamonds set free between two sapphire crystals, so they slide and tumble with every movement of the wearer.
Move
Diamonds set loose in an open gold cage so they slide from end to end as the wrist moves: three stones in Move Classique, one in Move Uno.
Thirty-one years apart, two houses let diamonds run loose. Happy Diamonds got there first: in 1976 Ronald Kurowski floated diamonds between two sapphire crystals on a watch dial, and jewelry followed in the early 1980s with Caroline Scheufele's clown pendant. Messika's Move, from 2007, opens the enclosure. Its diamonds slide along an open gold cage on a chain, three in Move Classique and one in Move Uno, a memory of Valérie Messika's father turning stones between his fingers. Behind glass the stones tumble; on a rail they travel.
