Chopard L.UC All-in-One "Janus Watch" - £374,000 After winning the title "Whatch of the year" in 2017 with the L.U.C Full Strike, Chopard has returned in 2018 with a watch that has already reached some peaks.

Limited to 10 pieces, it has a seven day power reserve and it only made of two materials, rose gold and platinum.

George Daniels Co-Axial Chronograph - £463,000 This rare Daniels Millennium watch is one of only 47 pieces produced in yellow-gold and it was delivered in 1999.

It was revolutionary for a big number of reasons, but most importantly it allowed for longer times between servicing.
