Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele is probably best known for her high profile appearances at the Cannes Film Festival, surrounded by the likes of Uma Thurman, Robert de Niro and Jude Law, not to mention a team of well-toned bodyguards.

In 1860, and at the tender age of just 24, Louis-Ulysse Chopard opened a shop in the municipality of Sonvilier, Switzerland. Trading under his initials ‘L.U.C.’, he began making precise pocket watches and innovative chronometers.

Luxury Swiss watch and jewellery maker Chopard is due to launch a sumptuous ‘Tea Party’ in Selfridges Wonder Room next week, to showcase its new ‘Temptations’ collection which features striking and colourful jewellery as delicious treats.

Cannes Film Festival, the most glamorous event in any A-list’s calendar, opened today with luxury Swiss watch brand Chopard as the headline sponsor.

So it's the morning after the night before at the Oscars, and whilst expectations for who'd win ran high (congratulations to Colin Firth by the way!), the Oscars is also a fashion high point in the year. For the very first time, actors have joined actresses in choosing Chopard to bring them luck!

British actress Lesley Manville, who was up for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Another Year, was spotted dripping in Chopard at this year's BAFTA Awards on Sunday.

Chopard is delighted to act as a messenger of love. Where some may give flowers or songs to express their feelings, Chopard sprinkles hearts all around. This symbol cherished by Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, who has indeed made it the company emblem, takes on all manner of shapes to thrill lovers the world over.
