MTF's Valentine's Day gift guide for ladies from Chopard offers thoughtful suggestions beyond typical jewelry, emphasizing mechanical watches. The post highlights the Happy Sport Medium Automatic, providing detailed technical specifications and showcasing how Chopard blends horological substance with elegant design. This article explores the community's interest in finding suitable luxury gifts.
Perhaps, I should have entitled this: "Lifestyle suggestions for Men on Valentine's Day that includes a list of gifts for ladies"?
And vice-versa for an accompanying article; that makes more sense as a title. Anyway, I'm committed now and I will post two separate lists for Men and Women as an amicable solution.
Valentine's Day gifts are a touchy subject. It's not as unique as a birthday nor as personal as an anniversary date but still, woe betide you if you forget to do something special.....
Thus, the gifts have to be thoughtful and desirable yet not too flashy to supercede the gifts for the BIG DATES in the year. 
Here are some suggestions from Chopard that are "reasonable". Well, I think the watch and handbag are reasonable but cannot say the same for the jewellery. The astute ladies will have noticed that the jewellery pieces are from the Chopard Haute Joaillerie Collection. [translation: Big Bucks, Excess Euros and Yearnful Yen] 
Still, they all complement the assemble in coordinated colours.......we can all but dream.
The key point is a mechanical automatic movement in a gem-set watch from Chopard.....nice!

Very little is known about this Chopard Bologna shoulder bag.
There have been Bologna models before with cream or black or purple calfskin leather but this new model has an unusual pattern in the leather. It may appeal to ladies who are young-at-heart.
If you know any more details, please do feedback to us.
Good Luck out there!

... of Chopard watches for the ladies, any automatic ones on offer that are not bejeweled? The only one I saw on the website is the LUC 35mm XPS, which is unisex-ish but could be sold as female due to size. Anything I am missing? And rubber straps are a no go (so MM options are limited).
Yes. Chopard just introduced a Ladies' Automatic Chronometer watch on leather strap in 2014. I have only the photo of a gem-set version but I believe Chopard can also supply a plain metal case. Read a previous posting: CLICK the following URL link... Regards, MTF
I saw the non bejewelled version on the website - excellent. As my wife is definitely in need of a new watch this is to be jointly checked out at the earliest opportunity. Thanks!
I forgot I took this at the boutique one day, with the help a a friendly model. Best, CaliforniaJed
Went for the first reconnaissance round this Saturday and have narrowed down the possibilities somewhat. My wife has somewhat limited the choice in that she is not willing to have as much spent on a watch for her as I originally intended, but there is enough room for maneouvre to find something that fits. Yet to see if a Chopard choice prevails, though.
