The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained
- QC film before ship
- 2-year warranty
- Discreet insured express
Add to cart, enter your ship-to details, then pay with crypto — or message the desk. Either way you get a QC film of this piece: reply GL to ship or RL for another. Japanese +$50 · Swiss +$100.

Description
Joie de Vivre, a free-flowing spirit, pays homage to Chopin's groundbreaking work from 1993, a classic limited edition of 1993 pieces worldwide, Happy Sport the First.
Reference: 278610-3001
The new original mold tooling watch, 1:1 size, 33mm diameter, features the iconic Lucent Steel A223 stainless steel round case design paired with five new cabochon sapphires, echoing the blue Roman numerals and offering a fresh visual experience. Inspired by the golden ratio, the 33mm case size flatters the wrist, while the white lacquered metal dial features sapphire blue tapered hands that complement the Roman numerals, complemented by a vintage track for understated elegance. Seven dynamic gemstones dance freely between two layers of sapphire crystal, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of movement through the watch's case back. The ingenious pebble bracelet design is versatile enough for both formal and casual occasions, combining softness and strength, a perfect blend of elegant vintage style and chic sophistication.
Employing 2892 movement, it boasts a near-zero repair returns rate, and each chip undergoes meticulous calibration before leaving the factory to ensure accurate timekeeping.
Every component is meticulously crafted, with perfect CNC polishing. Each section is flexibly assembled with four "pebbles," unlike ordinary one-piece molding on the market. It is designed to better fit the skin of the wrist and is softer and more delicate.
The automatic rotors are meticulously crafted, each one hand-polished and equipped with Chopard 09.01-C engraving, a perfect replica of the original, clearly visible to the naked eye, with a premium feel that can be experienced at a glance.
The first, and the best, is dedicated to you, the goddess, bringing seven dancing diamonds into your life!
