Slim, sophisticated and with just the right hint of complexity, the new Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin is a collector's dream. Recently unveiled at Baselworld 2019, it's the first calibre equipped with a flying tourbillon from the Manufacture. Cased up in 100% ethically sourced Fairmined gold, it cuts a striking figure on the wrist.
