Chopard jewellery is worn by stars at the Oscars and Cannes film festival.

As many as four robbers, two disguised as women, raided the Harry Winston's store and stole nearly all its valuables.

Dressed in a suit and fedora, the man entered Chopard on Place Vendome and reportedly made staff hand over 15 pieces of jewellery at gunpoint.

The mid-afternoon hold-up lasted two minutes, after which the robber, said to be in his 50s, calmly walked out.
