Baselworld 2019: Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF



Chopard?s enigmatic XPS Twist comes in an entirely new flavour for 2019.

Gone is the pepite-finish black dial and rose gold case of the 2017 limited-edition run. In its place is an altogether more dressed down, but no less stylish variant.
This time 18ct white gold, sourced ethically via Chopard?s trailblazing Fairmined project of course, is employed for case duties while a metallic, blue grey circular grained dial proves that cyan shades are no longer a trend but an obligation for any right-thinking creative director looking to shape a watch collection.

The titular Twist is the watch?s off-centre choices for crown, which rests at the four o?clock position rather than the more traditional three, and the small seconds dial, which sits at the seven o?clock rather than six. Here Chopard has opted to use this asymmetrical dial position as the centre point for its brushing, lending the watch an unexpectedly mysterious quality.
