Opinions on Chopard Happy Sport

[EK993]

I am going to be buying a watch for my wife's birthday this year. She has only owned a few fashion watches up till now. I was sounding her out on an Omega, but she isn't really keen on them. She absolutely loves the follwing Chopard Happy Sport:

But... Quartz movement? I wanted an automatic for her. What's the general concensus on Chopard, I don't know very much about them. I would rather get her an automatic from a respected brand, however she really does like the Chopard (basically because of the diamonds!).

Any opinions appreciated.

It's generally a good idea to buy gifts the recpient absolutely loves.

I'm struggling to get beyond the name "happy sport"

I'm in a meeting at the moment, so just quickly ... Most women's watches are quartz, as women folk don't seem to be as interested in mechanical movements like ourselves It's the same for most high end brands. Have a look at Jaeger LeCoultre; Pretty much all of the ladies models are quartz powered!

Chopard are a well respected brand. However at that price, I'd also have a look at JLC (as above) and Zenith ... Zenith do some cool watches with open movements (in the shape of a star or heart), with lots of diamonds!

Zenith Chronomaster Open Heart Ladies:



Lots of different designs, colours and prices to choose from Note the 'love' above the power reserve. It's also automatic too. But as someone else said, choose something she likes!

Right! Back to work before I'm caught!
