The happening was followed by a cocktail party for the Genevan watchmaker-jeweler invitees.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>A new global concept<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In 2007, the House of Chopard launched the new decoration concept for its boutiques by opening a flagship store on Madison Avenue. Designed by the famous French architect Thierry W. Despont, it has since been applied to all new openings and will in due course be present in all the brand\u2019s boutiques. The boutique on the Rue du Rh\u00f4ne, one of the most important for Chopard \u2013 which is headquartered in Geneva \u2013 was naturally the next boutique chosen to adopt this new look. Renovation and extension work was accordingly conducted from July to December 2012, thereby doubling the sales areas and enabling the brand to welcome customers to new products\/novelties in even more favourable conditions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Warm, intimate atmosphere<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Light-toned wood (white oak), opulent leathers, silk and precious velvet, along with a fireplace: Thierry Despont has chosen to maintain the plush, comfortable charm of the former boutiques, while modernising it to create the feeling of visiting a beautiful private home with well-defined areas accommodating Haute Joaillerie creations, watches and accessories. He has done so while focusing on a sense of intimacy conducive to enabling customers to stroll around the stores in a relaxing manner. Each detail of these points of sale has been thought through in conjunction with Caroline Scheufele, co-president of Chopard and head of the brand\u2019s distribution network, who said: \u201cWith these new environments, we want to encourage our clients to discover the multiple facets of the Chopard universe.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Created with the help of centuries-old craftsmanship techniques, the new boutiques successfully combine a fascination for cutting-edge technologies with a love of art and environment-friendliness. The windows are for example made from a type of glass capable of filtering outside light \u2013 a highly specific material making it possible to reduce air-conditioning and thereby limit toxic emissions. Struck by the inertia of jewellery windows at night, Thierry Despont had the original idea of installing panels pivoting 24\/7. Chopard boutiques thus continue to be both lively and dreamy even outside opening hours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Impressive expansion<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>The first Chopard boutique was opened in Hong Kong in 1983. By 1998, there were just 15 points of sale. Since then, brand development has steadily accelerated. The Chopard Group is currently represented in 130 countries through 1,500 points of sale and 145 boutiques, located in the world\u2019s major capitals and in the finest shopping centres. The blossoming of the brand owes much to the location of its boutiques, often the result of lengthy and meticulous research.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><strong>To mark the reopening following renovation of its boutique on the Rue du Rh\u00f4ne, Geneva, Chopard gave a major classical music concert on Sunday on behalf of the <em>Jos\u00e9 Carreras International Foundation for the Fight against Leukaemia<\/em><\/strong><strong>, as well as the <em>Anna &amp; Erwin Foundation \u2013 Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott for Kids.<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong><em><br \/><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><em>Anna Netrebko, Jos\u00e9 Carreras and Erwin Schrott \u2013 three longstanding friends of the Scheufele family that owns Chopard \u2013 gave an exceptional performance this Sunday before a full house at Geneva\u2019s Victoria Hall, backed by the Gstaad Festival Orchestra conducted on this occasion by David Gim\u00e9nez.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><em><br \/><\/em><\/div>\n<div><em>On stage, after the Gstaad Festival Orchestra played the Overture from William Tell by Giocchino Rossini (1792-1868), the artists notably performed pieces such as \u201cBess you is my woman\u201d from George Gershwin\u2019s Porgy and Bess (1898-1937) as well as \u201cQuando me\u2019n vo\u201d from The Bohemian Girl by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924).<\/em><\/div>\n<div><em><br \/><\/em><\/div>\n<div><em>During the second half of the evening, the artists and Chopard\u2019s guests congregated for a private event held at the nearby Little Buddha restaurant.
