The Adventurous Move of Chopard, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph is debutting. It is the bold try of Chopard for merging esthetics with forefront technology. This series is a great combination of bold esthetic conception and magnificent timekeeping function.
The series is called after the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique vintage vehicle race (a race that is supported by vintage vehicle lovers each two years, which raises over 200 vintage vehicles from especially America, Britain, Germany, France and Italy, including many famous brands like Bugatti, Delage and Alfa Romeo etc). As a cooperator of that contest, Chopard specially designed a watch series, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph series.
In the esthetical sense,the design of Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph is bold. The watch case is calculated in 42.5mm, with a thickness of 14.9mm. Made of refined stainless steel or 18k rose gold, the watch case is engraved with the marks of GPMH and Automobile Club de Monaco at the bottom. The dial boasts contrasting silver to the case, with black, orange or blue marking circle. As the bezel has blue, silver or orange marking circle, the dial has a good fitting color for it. It is even more appealing with a authentic leather or refined stainless steel strap. The whole watch is such a phenomenal piece.
Technically, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph functions amazingly.. Driven by a mechanical self-winding mechanism, the watch could hold power to 48 hours. It has obtained the COSC authentication. It displays the hour, minute, and date all in the main dial. The 12 hours timekeeping dial, the 30 minutes dial and the second hand showcase are at 3, 9, and below 12 o’clock position respectively.. Powerful and pioneering as the watch is, it has its markings and pointers all coated with superluminova, enabling the clear visibility even at dark night.
With the above description, you could hold a general idea of how venturous the watch is. But if you see the actual timepiece by yourself, you will be more astounded.
