'Rocketman' – Elton John's Life Story – Is Filled With Chopard Watches And Jewelry. Not Unlike His ...

I have never seen watches and jewelry by this Geneva maker of the extraordinary take on such a starring role in a movie as Chopard does in the musical Elton John biopic Rocketman "Rocketman emphasizes further just how much of an inspiration Sir Elton is, through his incomparable panache and story I was delighted to participate in this movie and wanted to ensure that Chopard jewelry and watch creations would help transform actor Taron Egerton into Sir Elton John!".

The film revolves around "Reg's" extravagant life - John's real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight - a big part of which is his fashion So it's not surprising that the 72-year-old singer has been a well-known jewelry and watch collector, and one who has already purged his jewelry box twice via Sotheby's London, perhaps to make room for new acquisitions Egerton appears on screen wearing numerous Chopard creations from the Happy Hearts, Happy Diamonds, Happy Spirit, Happy Sport, and Animal World high jewelry lines.

It is important to note that the items seen in the film are not the original watches and pieces of jewelry John owned at the time For the anniversary, Chopard also introduced a new automatic manufacture movement specially developed for these smaller watches close to 30 mm in diameter: Caliber 09.01 C In case you haven't yet seen Rocketman, I can highly recommend this psychedelic musical trip down memory lane.
