About Me

Karl Scheufele III and his family control Swiss jewelry and watchmaker Chopard, one of the best-known luxury accessory lines in the world. A goldsmith and watchmaker by training, the German-born Scheufele bought the Geneva-based company in 1963 and transformed it into a global brand. More than 50 years later, Scheufele remains active in the company, though his children Karl-Friedrich and Caroline lead the business. Chopard's jewelry is a regular on the red carpet, with 11 Oscar winners having won while wearing Chopard, including Kate Winslet and Julianne Moore.
