Chopard

What if the tradition of Swiss watchmaking were to merge with the world of eyewear?
The result would be products designed and assembled with meticulous care, just like the workings of a clock. At Ottica SM, we offer glasses that combine these special qualities, made by the Chopard brand. Chopard began life in the mid-nineteenth century, when its founder, a skilled watchmaker specialising in stopwatches and pocket watches, decided to open his own artisan workshop. His fame spread worldwide, with the workshop even creating watches for the Tsar of Russia. So although the company founder died in the early twentieth century, the Chopard brand continued to thrive, becoming a symbol of luxury.
The business was sold to the Scheufele family, also specialists in luxury watch production. The Chopard brand continues to grow, launching products that have become icons of style with their high degree of sophistication and precision: evident in every product from this brand. Their watches, jewellery, accessories and leather goods all bear the unmistakable imprint of the brand: class, sophistication and luxury, with touches of light from diamonds or rhinestones. A timeless, classic style that typifies all the eyewear models available in the Ottica SM catalogue. With their clean, but very feminine lines, Chopard sunglasses and eyeglasses are examples of a skilled craftsmanship that goes back more than a century. The brand only uses materials of the highest quality, and takes meticulous care over every detail, making Chopard eyeglasses and sunglasses something quite out of the ordinary.
Explore the latest collections from this fashion house and choose your brand new sunglasses, available with standard or polarised lenses to minimise glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. The Chopard SCH 189S cat's-eye models are ultra-feminine, and come with a polycarbonate frame in classic black or brown, as well as purple or ocean blue. The geometric models, recommended for those with rounded faces, carry intriguing patterns on the temples: the men's models feature a design like the holes and buckle of a watch strap, while the women's models carry a lovely interwoven gold pattern similar to a chain. The Chopard wrap-around sunglasses for women feature patterns similar to mesh watch straps on the temples. The Chopard SCHA 65S model has an oversized butterfly frame with rhinestone decoration down the side, a bow of gilded metal above the nose pads, and extra-large temples. The Chopard SCHA 63S model has a phantos frame, available in various colours, and features a double metal bridge in gold or silver, and brown, grey or pink lenses. The pilot sunglasses for men and women come in many styles, with numerous different frames and lenses, different-sized temples with varying designs, circular patterns of rhinestones, the brand logo, and even chessboard motifs for some of the men's models. For both sunglasses and eyeglasses, there are small details in metal which allude to the original business of the brand.
Chopard prefer to use metal, gold or silver rather than plastic materials, which are skilfully worked and then decorated with rhinestones and crystals in different colours, shapes and sizes. The men's sunglasses with rectangular frames come with two different sizes of lens: either small-medium or large. The larger type also covers the eyes to the side, and can be ordered as polarised lenses. To ensure that the glasses are never too heavy, the frames are either thin or reduced to the minimum possible. For example, in the Chopard SCHB 76V model, the lenses are laser cut and just held together by a central shaft.
For both men and women, round frames are right on trend, and come in a style halfway between dandy and retro. There are both standard and oversized models, with hinges embellished with various types of shiny decoration. The unmistakable Chopard style is evident in every model. Thin frames in elegant shapes follow the shape of the lenses, subtly drawing attention to their form. Standard-sized glasses can also be oversized with a larger frame, but the result is neither cumbersome in appearance nor heavy for the wearer. Whether you are drawn to the iconic frames worn by famous film stars, or inclined to the carefree style of flower children, these round glasses certainly have a strong presence. They express their different characters in various ways with the use of different materials: not only metals, but also plastic materials for the maxi styles that nearly hide the eyes. However, if you're looking for square sunglasses with simple lines, but with lots of detail and rhinestone decorations, the Chopard brand is right for you. They come in various geometric shapes, blunted at the corners to avoid shading the face. Angles and curves, dark colours and bright gemstones are mixed together, with carefully tinted lenses for a shadowy but not unsettling effect.
In the Chopard SCH 211S model, the rhinestone decorations reach to the edge of the lens, tracing eyebrow shapes along the top of the frame. The men's range features decorations related to parts of watches, including both mesh and leather watch straps of various types. On the other hand, for women, the reference to the maker is in the gemstone decorations, which like the faces of Chopard watches show they are the product of a luxury brand. Synonymous with classic design, Chopard have shown in every successive collection how they can take up the challenge of new trends, making them their own with a temperate style that never goes out of fashion. Chopard glasses, like their watches, represent the craftsmanship and meticulous care over every component and detail that typifies the watchmaking industry, and which has reached its highest levels in Switzerland over the centuries.
