THE C70 GRAND PRIX CHRONOMETERS

C70 GRAND PRIX CHRONOMETERS

In 2007, Christopher Ward released a series

of chronograph watches celebrating the

rst Grand Prix races established during the

early pioneering years of motorsport when

courageous drivers in their temperamental

machines put life and limb at risk for glory,

fame and, occasionally, riches.

This year we have revisited and updated the

collection and are releasing four outstanding

designs from the original series, which for the

rst time will be COSC-certied chronometers.

These 2015 versions emphasise the winning

drivers of the inaugural British, French, Italian

and Belgium Grand Prix more strongly than

the originals, specically by the inclusion of a

recessed plate on the side of the watch case –

a device that has proven hugely successful with

the recent C70 D-Type and 3527 GT releases.

The plates indicate the driver/s of each race as

well as their recorded time.

The back-plate of each watch has also been

re-modelled to incorporate under museum-

grade crystal, a ceramic ag of each nation

alongside the date of the race.

Each watch is limited to an edition of only 500

pieces worldwide.

C70 BRITISH GP 1926 CHRONOMETER

C70 GRAND PRIX CHRONOMETERS

Two Frenchmen, Robert Senechal and Louis

Wagner, drove their equally French Delage 155

to victory in the rst ever British Grand Prix ,

no doubt to the chagrin of the British industry

which, for years, had been in the shadow of a

French automobile industry that was at the time

the largest in Europe. That Malcolm Campbell

came in second probably rubbed salt into the

wound rather than being cause for celebration!

On an overcast day at the famous Brooklands

track in Surrey, the Delage was brought home

in a time of 4 hours and 56 seconds a time that

is etched onto a plate on the case side of this

stunning chronometer.

Although the victory was a French one, the

British Racing Green colours of this watch,

including a ceramic Union Flag beneath

museum-grade sapphire crystal on the back

of the case, signify the importance of the

event (and venue) which was the birth-place

of British motorsport and aviation.

C70 ITALIAN GP 1921 CHRONOMETER

C70 GRAND PRIX CHRONOMETERS

On 4th September 1921, at Brescia, a town

nestled at the foot of the Northern Italian Alps

and famous mainly for being the start and

nish for the prestigious Mille Miglia race,

Frenchman, Jules Goux, drove his 3 Litre Ballot

car to victory at the rst ever Italian Grand Prix.

The car, commissioned by Edouard Ballot

specically to win Grand Prix races, is worthy

of note as it had, unusually for the time,

twin overhead camshafts and four valves

per cylinder. It was also one of the rst cars

produced with front and rear servo-assisted

breaks. This advanced conguration helped

Goux achieve a fast winning time of 3 hours,

35 minutes, 9 seconds.

This time is proudly displayed alongside the

drivers name on a recessed plate at the side

of this stunning chronometer’s case adding a

personal detail to a watch whose main purpose

is to celebrate the birth of Italy’s continuing

love affair with Grand Prix racing.

C70 FRENCH GP 1906 CHRONOMETER

C70 GRAND PRIX CHRONOMETERS

Although a Hungarian, Ferenc Szisz, was the

winning driver on 27th June 1906 at the inaugural

French Grand Prix, everything else about the

victory had a decidedly Gallic avour.

Local businesses in Le Mans, sensing the growing

attraction of motorsport in France at the time,

had clubbed together to nance the events

prize of 45,000 Francs (the equivalent of 13kg

of gold at the time) which took place on the

outskirts of the town. It was to prove a very

worthwhile investment whose returns are still

coming in to this day!

The winning car was French, a Renault 90CV,

and completed the 12 lap race in a time of

12 hours, 14 minutes and 7 seconds. And

although Szisz was Hungarian, he had been

an engineer in Renault’s Paris factory before

becoming riding mechanic for Louis Renault.

Marcel Renault, Louis’s brother and co-founder

of the automobile dynasty, was killed in 1903

during the Paris-Madrid road race and Szisz

became the marque’s leading driver.

The winning time is proudly displayed

alongside Szisz’s name on a recessed plate

on the case of this stunning chronometer

that celebrates the inaugural French Grand

Prix. Appropriately, but also rather beautifully,

the Tricolor is displayed in ceramic beneath

museum-grade sapphire crystal on the

back of the case.

Available in a Limited Edition of

only 500 pieces worldwide, this

chronometer is certain to become

a sought-after collector’s piece.
