About Chopard, the Artisan of Emotions – since 1860 Since its founding in 1860, Chopard has been crafting creations exuding contemporary charm, synonymous with ethics and emotions, while perpetuating a heritage rich in tradition and artisanal savoir-faire. Driven by a resolutely positive vision of the world, the Maison accompanies the precious moments of fulfilled men and women for whom watches and jewellery are talismans celebrating lasting Joie de Vivre. In harmony with this vision, Chopard acts through the prism of three fundamental elements: Craftsmanship, ensured by the work of passionate master artisans; abundant and generous Creativity; and Ethics. The Scheufele family, which has been guiding the Maison from generation to generation, is firmly convinced that contemporary luxury must necessarily be responsible. In 2013, these convictions led Co-Presidents Caroline and Karl-Friedrich Scheufele to commit the Maison to its Journey to Sustainable Luxury. Today, Chopard thus uses 100% ethical gold for the production of its gold watches and jewellery, as well as manufacturing its own Lucent Steel™ – with a recycling rate of at least 80% – for its steel timepieces. More than 50 professions are mastered at Chopard’s three production sites, where particular attention is paid to in-house training, passing on savoir-faire and perpetuating artistic crafts.
