Chopard’s Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph

June 4th, 2010

Reputed for its leading precision watch making technique, the century old brand Chopard is putting forward an bold fashioned chronograph, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph. This series holds marvelous timekeeping function while absorbing in the audacious aesthtic concept.
The series is named after the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique vintage vehicle contest (a race that is supported by vintage vehicle fans every two years, which evokes over 200 vintage vehicles from specially America, Britain, Germany, France and Italy, including many famous brands like Bugatti, Delage and Alfa Romeo etc). As a partner of that race, Chopard particularly fashioned a watch series, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph series.

Aesthetically, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph features bold design. Calculated in 42.5mm, the watch case is 14.9mm thick. There are two materials for the watch case. One is the refined steel and the other is 18k rose gold. At the bottom of the case is inscribed with the marks of GPMH and Automobile Club de Monaco. With the distinguishable silver color, the dail boasts black, orange or blue marking circle. This is well integrated with the blue, silver or orange marking circle in the bezel. It is even more appealing with a genuine leather or refined stainless steel strap. The whole watch is such a phenomenal piece.
Technically, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph functions incredibly.. Driven by a mechanical auto-winding mechanism, the watch could reserve power to 48 hours. It has passed the COSC certification. The hour, minute and date are all displayed in the main dial with a sub-dial at 9 indicating the second hand. Besides the second hand showcase, there are the 30 minutes and 12 hours timekeeping dial. Coated with superluminova, the markings and hands are visible even at the dark night. This is powerful and thoughtful.

With the above description, you could grasp a general idea of how adventurous the watch is. But if you see the genuine timepiece by yourself, you will be more astounded.
