Chopard Introduces Its New Happy Ocean Eden Rock - St Barths Watch
Luxferity, 21.01.2025
The Happy Ocean timepiece is taking up winter residence in the Caribbean sunshine with a brand-new edition available exclusively at the Eden Rock – St Barths hotel. Framed by a 40 mm-diameter case in Lucent Steel™ and/or ethical 18-carat rose gold gracing three limited series, a textured mother-of-pearl dial welcomes the joyful dance of charms that are more daring than ever: a pair of gold and diamond flip-flops. From bezel to bracelet and dial indications, the design picks up the characteristic red and white hues of the architecture characterising the legendary St. Jean Bay establishment. Water-resistant to 300 metres, this watchmaking creation beats to the rhythm of the Chopard 01.01-C self-winding movement delivering a 60-hour power reserve.

Nautical by nature
With Happy Ocean, Chopard brings a nautical touch to its Happy Sport collection. Radiating a sporty-chic look and featuring broad cases that ensure excellent dial legibility, these magnificent timepieces demonstrate the Manufacture's ability to renew the design of its icon through a successful blend of comfort and elegance. Fitted with a strap in rubber or SEAQUAL® fibre – produced using an upcycling model made from plastic waste recovered from the sea – and sporting a colourful rotating bezel with a luminescent dot, the Happy Ocean model is inspired by diving watches. Water-resistant to 300 m, its 40 mm-diameter case is equipped with in-house self-winding Chopard Calibre 01.01-C delivering a 60-hour power reserve.

Quintessentially happy
With its spectacular location in St Jean Bay, Eden Rock – St Barths has been the byword for one-of-a-kind hospitality ever since mercurial French Caribbean aviator adventurer and occasional treasure-seeker Rémy de Haenen first welcomed guests to his Eden Rock home on the ocean during the 1950s. The location quickly established itself as the preferred discreet and eminently private bolthole for many glamourous Hollywood characters who quickly became friends of St Barths. Masterpiece Hotel from Oetker Collection, its legend lives on to this day, inspiring Caroline Scheufele to create these timepieces.

As the Maison’s Co-President and Artistic Director explains: "The carefree world into which I plunge when observing the dial of the Happy Ocean Eden Rock - St Barths is a window into the happy memories of my life. I wanted this watch to be a talisman that whisks you off to the shores of the Caribbean, wherever you are and whatever the time of day or night.” Chopard indeed owes its Happy Sport collection to Caroline Scheufele, who in 1993 designed the original combination of steel and diamonds that inspired sporty-chic watchmaking.
v-40 Blue Dusk On Block Bracelet
This Happy Ocean model swaps out the traditional dancing diamonds for a daring pair of flip-flops in ethical 18-carat rose gold set with diamonds. As carefree as the breath of fresh air that holidays bring, these charming mobiles dance against a white background of textured mother-of-pearl gathered from the heart of shells. Chopard also interprets its dancing flip-flop on a matching pendant in ethical 18-carat rose gold, enabling perfect watch and jewellery pairing. The three limited editions of this already iconic timepiece – 27 in Lucent Steel™; 27 in Lucent Steel™ and ethical 18-carat rose gold; and 7 in ethical 18-carat rose gold – harmoniously pick up the hotel's style codes through subtle red and white accents on the strap, as well as on the aluminium bezel and the dial's minutes track.
