Founded in 1860, the 150 years old watch brand Chopard is exhibiting to the public its bold try, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph. This is a outstanding watch that blends aesthetics with advanced technique. This series unites pioneering adventurous esthetic conception with transcendental timekeeping function.
The series is named after the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique vintage vehicle race (a race that is thrown by vintage vehicle fans every two years, which provokes more than 200 vintage vehicles from particularly 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.
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 engraved with the marks of GPMH and Automobile Club de Monaco. With the contrasting silver color, the dail possesses black, orange or blue marking circle. As the bezel has blue, silver or orange marking circle, the dial has a good matching color for it. Collocated with genuine leather or refined stainless steel strap, the whole timepiece indicates a phenomenal presence.
Technically, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chronograph functions amazingly.. The watch features a mechanical self-winding mechanism, with 48 hours power reserve function. It has passed the COSC authentication. 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. The markings and pointers are all coated with superluminova, which enables them to be clearly checked even at the dim night. It is very mighty and pioneering.
With the above description, you could grasp a general idea of how audacious the watch is. But if you see the real timepiece by yourself, you will be more astounded.
