Chopard L.U.C London in the Fall has an exceptional atmosphere. Maybe because I usually visit the city at this time of the year, but I’ve always enjoyed walking the streets of UK’s capital. It was one of this perfect Autumn days that I arrived for a short but sweet watch introduction by Chopard. If you have […]
