DESCRIPTION

  • Generosity, personality, power

    To mark Chopard’s 10 years of support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele has designed a new watch collection in collaboration with Sir Elton John himself.  A testament to their friendship, it reflects the artist’s extravagant personality as well as his tremendous generosity.

    A large diameter, an imposing stature, precious stones, rose gold… The new Elton John designed chronograph is entirely on trend and combines all the qualities of a classic model.

    Jointly designed by Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele and Sir Elton John, the new timepiece reflects the singer’s personality and his love of watches. Chopard, a renowned jewellery watch specialist, has combined skills and experience with Sir Elton John’s innate sense of extravagance. Featuring black, brown or pink crocodile leather straps, the new Elton John Watch Collection models boast a myriad of the precious gems of which Sir Elton John himself is so famously fond. Playful diamonds appear either alone or harmoniously combined with sapphires, rubies and emeralds, or even colourful yellow, pink or black diamonds. The dial comes either in a tone matching the gems set around it or in a white or grey-rosé mother-of-pearl version. For those preferring simplicity, the case and dial also come in plain white or rose gold variations.

    The Elton John designed chronograph also has impressive technical abilities thanks to the self-winding movement, and comes in limited and numbered series.

    Created to benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation, a percentage of the profits from the sale of Elton John watches will be donated to the fight against AIDS.
     
    Comment from Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele:
     
    “I have always admired Elton John as an artist of incomparable talent.  We initially met at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival and it was then that I chose to support his fight against AIDS.  Over the years I have become better acquainted with him and we now have a strong friendship. The new chronograph which we have created together truly is The Elton watch – a watch that reflects both his personality and his generosity.  Elton is a connoisseur and collector of watches and jewellery. As such he made extremely wise comments throughout the creation of this watch which really radiates a strong character, just like the man himself.  Elton is a loyal friend and a generous man and I am delighted to have collaborated with him for such an important cause.  I hope the new Elton John designed watch collection will appeal to others as much as it does to him. The fight against AIDS is an ongoing struggle, tirelessly pursued by the Elton John AIDS Foundation.”
     
    Comment from Sir Elton John: 
     
    “It’s wonderful to be producing another Chopard watch edition with a royalty from each sale going to support the work of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Having collaborated with Caroline on the design, I am very happy that we have together created a really bold and powerful timepiece. Despite the larger size, the case is beautifully formed to fit the wrist, and comfortable to wear. The options of either White Gold or Rose Gold really give each watch edition a very distinctive character.  Personally, of course, I love the jewelled watches from our collection – with a choice of white diamonds or coloured jewels to fit every taste.”
