Recently, Chopard chronograph watch family welcomed a new member with 24-hour timing -Chopard Jacky Ickx Edition V. Its name and design are designed to pay tribute to the legendary endurance race car driver Jacky Ickx, who has got six champions of the Le Mans 24-Hour.
There are a variety of ways to relieve the pressure after finishing high-intensity work. Some people prefer to seek solace on the golf course, some people think that there is nothing more relax than jogging in the park … … and Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the president of Chopard likes to join the antique car rally. In his Benz 300SL antique sports car, Jacky Ickx plays the role as the co-pilot next to him, as well as is his perfect partner. How pleasant and natural such a highly talented family friend becomes a brand ambassador. Each new Jacky Ickx watch must go through rigorous design process.
Chopard chronograph watch has always been in superb design – simple dial, solid case structure and the very precise movement. And Jacky Ickx Edition V fully complies with these standards. There are silver tone hour and minute timer on the black dial, along with a long seconds hand with red arrow. On the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position are respectively located with a small black stopwatch, minute timer and 24-hour timer.
Chopard watch has always insisted on high readability and efficient product design – even if it means the date window needs to be placed between the cracks of two hour markers or displayed in “bubble” shaped window. The bezel’s design is well thought out, so this watch is more beautiful. The rugged case back is engraved with the signature of Jacky Ickx and 6 24 signs, recording his six times champions in the Le Mans 24-Hour. Besides, the watch is equipped with the high end movement certified by COSC, which can provide 40-hour power reserve and resist water up to 50 meters.
