Chopard's '70s Diamond Comes Back Around, Right on Time for Season

Nothing dates faster than "modern," which is presumably why a design from the 1970s just got refreshed rather than replaced. The house's Happy Diamond watch, born of that era's appetite for movement and shine, has been updated for a public that seems to want the same exuberance without the vintage caveats. It is the kind of decision that reads less like nostalgia than confidence — the original idea was good enough the first time that the only real work left was bringing it current.
