The director of culinary and operations at Les Amis joins hands with the Swiss family-owned luxury giant
The next time you dine at Les Amis, try spotting what watch chef Sebastien Lepinoy is wearing on his wrist. It is the Chopard Alpine Eagle, the every day watch made out of Lucent steel, the brand’s specially formulated steel variant. The director of culinary and operations at the three Michelin-starred restaurant has recently joined the Swiss luxury house as its friend of the brand. “After discovering Chopard’s collection of haute horology, I’ve been enamoured by the brand’s philosophy which is very similar to what I try to espouse through my cuisine,” said Lepinoy. “I need a watch that has the calibre to withstand the grind of the kitchen yet evoke an aura of sophistication when I greet my guests or attend special events.”
