Renowned for its creativity, state-of-the-art technology and the virtuosity of its artisans, Chopard has become one of the leading names in the luxury Swiss watch and jewellery industry. Discover its spectacular journey under the impetus of the Scheufele family, from 1860 to the present day.
1860

24 year-old Louis-Ulysse Chopard (1836–1915) founds a high-precision watch manufactory, specialising in pocket-watches and chronometers, in Sonvilier, Switzerland. He rapidly realises that his clients are looking for ultra-thin and extremely accurate pocket-watches suitable for daily wear.

1904

Karl Scheufele I launches his own company “Karl Scheufele” in Pforzheim, Germany, specialising in jewellery watches alongside pendants, medals, bracelets and brooches in gold, diamonds and pearls adorned with Art Nouveau-inspired floral motifs. Distributing under the brand name "Eszeha", his contacts in the Far East and Russia mean the company soon gains an international reputation.

Chopard freshly reinvents the diamond-set watch category with Happy Diamonds. These unique floating diamond watches, comprising diamonds that can move freely between two sapphire crystals, become one of the most successful innovations in the history of the Maison.

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele founds Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier, dedicated to the production of high-precision Swiss watch movements.
