Swiss luxury watches and jewelry manufacturer Chopard and Italian automaker Alfa Romeo have decided to join forces to launch three new classic sport watches, a travel alarm clock as well as table clock. Indeed, 2010 is a very special year for both companies as each brand is celebrating an exceptional anniversary: 150 years for Chopard and 100 years for Alfa Romeo. Since more than two decades Chopard is strongly involved in the World of Classic Racing serving as sponsor and Official Timekeeper for the Mille Miglia race, “la corsa piu bella del mondo”, in which Alfa Romeo cars reached the highest number of victories, with a grand total of eleven.

The GT XL Chrono Alfa Romeo (available in stainless steel or black DLC-coated steel) and the Gran Turismo XL Alfa Romeo feature black dial with red hands and indexes as well as the logo of the two brands. Endowed with 46-hour power reserve, the self-winding movements are chronometer-certified by the COSC and beat at 28′800 vibrations per hour. The 44mm diameter cases are water-resistant up to 100 metres and are protected by glare-proof sapphire crystals. Like any special occasion, the three versions are issued in limited and numbered editions; only 500 of each of the three pieces will be offered and you should buy them fast…
