Chef Sébastien Lepinoy Appointed As Chopard Ambassador
Chopard announces the association with Chef Sébastien Lepinoy, Director of Culinary and Operations at the 3 Michelin Star Les Amis restaurant in Singapore, to become a Chopard L.U.C. Brand Ambassador.
Highly decorated, Chef Sébastien Lepinoy has built up a remarkable career since 1990 and is well acknowledged by institutions such as Asia's 50 Best Restaurants and Forbes Travel Guide. As guardian of the French Culinary Arts in Asia, he is dedicated to preserving and passing on the mastery of fine French gastronomy to budding cooks and chefs.
Les Amis, dedicated to bringing the finer aspects of French cuisine to Singapore, has earned itself multiple awards including the prestigious 3 Michelin Star under the leadership of Chef Sébastien Lepinoy, and the recent win for the 2020 ‘Gin Mare Art of Hospitality Award' determined by Asia's 50 Best Restaurants' voting academy.
With Chopard's family spirit and Les Amis' concept of friendship, this partnership was conceived as an idea to bring like-minded people together, with the merging of two quite different and distinct crafts, but both created with finesse and a high level of technicality.
“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. I am truly honoured and grateful to be a Friend of the Brand, and to work with like-minded individuals who values craftsmanship, technicality and are committed to delivering only the finest experience guests and clients alike.
The Alpine Eagle, by Chopard, is the only luxury timepiece that I would dare bring into the kitchen. As a Chef, 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. Thank you Chopard for designing a watch crafted with the superior functionality of your signature Lucent Steel, which fuses durability, elegance and masculine sensibility. Today, I am a proud owner of The Alpine Eagle, which fits me and my lifestyle to a tee!” – Chef Sebastien Lepinoy, Les Amis
Stephan Ritzmann, CEO of Chopard Asia Pacific adds: “We are very happy to welcome Chef Lepinoy as our Friend of the Brand in Chopard Singapore. His passion and dedication to his craft are truly remarkable and it is what Chopard represents as well: exceptional craftsmanship, creativity, joy of life and the importance of friendships.”
Karl-friedrich Scheufele, Co-president Chopard: “At Chopard, why do we call ourselves the ‘Artisan of Emotions'? It is because of our authentic, human and positive vision of the world and our passion and inspirations of our expertise and artisanship reflected through our creations. We hope to bring enjoyment and a positive experience to our customers. Chef Sebastien Lepinoy of Les Amis' passion is also reflected in the mastery of his creations and we are convinced this is the beginning of a close partnership and friendship and we are very happy to welcome him as our Alpine Eagle and L.U.C friend in Singapore.”
