The Palme d'Or, the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, takes more than 70 hours of meticulous craftsmanship to produce at Swiss jeweller Chopard's workshops outside Geneva. Since its creation in 1955, the Palme d'Or has constantly evolved. Its current form was conceived in 1998 by Caroline Scheufele, co-president of Chopard.
