Think bling and Chopard comes to mind. OK so does Cartier but since I am writing on Chopard, we shall focus on this big C and not the other C. Chopard celebrated 150 profitable years last year and celebrated the occasion with a menagerie of one-off animal jewels, some of which were brought into Malaysia, resulting in some Puan Sri and Mak Datin squabbling to buy the same jewel! These are instant collectors' items and out of reach for most of us as they start from a few hundred thousand ringgit.
Well, we can still make do with my all time favourite---Happy Diamonds watches. At first I thought they were called Dancing Diamonds which was more accurate since the gems bounce and scatter merrily over the bezel! If Chopard changes 'Happy Diamonds' to 'Dancing Diamond', you know they have been listening to me.
These Happy Diamonds have been Chopard's signature watch for decades and their appeal remain constant. Even I manage to have 6 such watches, all in solid gold straps as I only wear leather straps when indulging in sexual foreplay which need not be elaborated here. Just as well I bought the gold straps when gold was unloved at US$ 200 per ounce. Now it is US$ 1,400! Of course at that time everyone sneered at me as gold was considered passe and bourgeois, fit for newly rich with bad taste and unfortunate penchant for shiny stuff! And so I scooped them up by the barrelfuls!
Some brands use one or several regional ambassadors but Chopard goes for ALL. All the big stars who come to all the big bashes like the recent 68th Golden Globe Awards, 83rd Academy Awards and the Oscar parties hosted by Elton John and Vanity Fair magazine.
Chopard is also involved in the coming Cannes Film Festival, held in the lovely city of Cannes in southern France but that is in May.
Meanwhile let's drool and oogle at these Chopard-laden beauties and brawny hunks wearing Chopard watches!

From showing their Chopard watches named in Elton John's honour, now they are flaunting Chopard's love bracelets for Him and Him.
Co-president of Chopard (her brother is the other) Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, Elton John wearing an one-off Chopard pendant and David Furnish.

Exactly my taste! What a gorgeous leopard necklet! I can see myself wearing it 24/7 and even when sleeping.
I can see myself sitting here too, can't you?
These are forever.
Chopard lady boss with music boss Quincy Jones
Gosh, what a gorgeous couple, Hayden Panettiere and Chace Crawford. No, those were not diamonds nestling around her boobs.
The long and short of it all; actress Emma Roberts and skyscraping model Heidi Klum in matching gowns
Actress Daniele Lavender with Sir Ben Kingsley and Caroline Scheufele. I just saw him in "Prince of Persia;Sands of Time' just now on ASTRO! What a coincidence.
If Chace Crawford is not handsome, I dunno the meaning of the word.
Hot singer Cee Lo Green, Smoking Robinson and Sir Elton John. I love Cee Lo's 'Forget You'!
Nicole Ritchie without Paris Hilton
Sorry, she was with musician Joel Madden
Red hot Kim Kardashian in black
Sexy Jamie Foxx
Model Heidi Klum and Kim Kardashian snuggling up to hunk Jamie Foxx but since Kim is prettier, younger and sexier, she wins.
At first I thought they were diva Anita Sarawak and hubby Abang Mahathir Abdullah! But they are Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
The Battle of the Boobs? Sharon Osbourne and Caroline Scheufele making contact of the bosomy sort!
The latest Chopard watches. Not enough bling for me but then I only go for their Happy Diamonds watches.
Timing is everything and now off to bed for me!
