A very young Swiss jeweler named Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded a small family business in the bucolic village of Sonvillier in the canton of Bern, in 1860. His skills producing exquisite and reliable handmade pocket watches earned him a deserved reputation and lots of fame. Some of his creations were sold throughout Europe and captivated influent buyers such as Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. But it wasn’t until 1937 that the Chopard brand would move to Geneva—the world capital of fine watchmaking. Paul Louis Chopard—the son of the company’s founder—made this significant move. Chopard remained a family business until 1963 when it was sold to Karl Scheufele III, the third generation of a German watchmaker dynasty that was expanding at the time. The acquisition gave new impetus to Chopard, which had achieved recognition and status both in jewelry and watchmaking.
