Chopard Happy Sport Mark II Chrono All Black ladies watch

The Swiss watchmaker Chopard has extended its last year’s Happy Sport Mark II collection with new All Black model.

This monochrome, minimalist watch features a carbon-treated scratch-resistant steel case with gray indexes, which is almost sparkling with a set of diamonds.

The diamonds are not fixed to the bezel, but roll freely across the dial as you move your hand through the space.

It must be noted that the watch is positioned as a unisex model, so the watch may not feel very comfortable if you are a small woman or a big man.

Whole 42 millimeters in diameter and 12.5 mm in height, it may look outright bulky if your wrist is on a thinner side.

Another issue that must be taken into account before buying this beautiful, but somewhat controversial timekeeper is the movement that powers it.

Like most ladies watches, the Chopard Happy Sport Mark II Chrono All Black features a quartz movement with date and chronograph functions.

I am sure that all movements a Swiss made and undergo thorough internal quality control before casing, but the trouble here is that the watch is offered at an almost mind-blowing price of just below $9000 U.S. dollars, which makes the choice of the movement look like a kind of mockery.

Seriously, who can offer a watch, which is powered by a quartz movement that, however accurate and reliable, costs like 50 dollars at best?

Wearing such a hefty price tag, the Happy Sport Mk II Chrono All Black must be offered minimum with ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic movement. At least, using the legendary industry work-horse, the Swiss watchmaker would show us some degree of respect!

Okay, I am getting too emotional here.

Although its indexes are painted in a darker shade of gray, the watch is more or less legit since its minute and hour hands are white-colored with additional luminous coating so you can always guess what time is now.
