Those of you familiar with luxury watch brands need no introduction to Chopard and their involvement in motor sports.  In keeping with the motor sports theme and to celebrate Chopard’s 150th birthday and Alfa Romeo’s 100th birthday, Chopard have released a line of watches to honor Alfa Romeo.  The Alfa Romeo Chopard watch line includes two wrist watches and a table clock.

The two wrist watches are the Gran Turismo Alfa Romeo and GT XL Chrono Alfa Romeo (available in stainless steel or black steel).  Both of these watches come in a 44 mm diameter case and are 14.36 mm thick, and are water resistant to 100 meters.  The watches are equipped with a chronometer-certified (by COSC), self-winding automatic movements that beat at 28,800 vibrations per hour.  The watches feature a 46 hour power reserve and have sapphire crystal on the front and see-through back.  Only 500 of each model will be produced.

stratosIf there had to be only two things to remember that the 1970’s did for automotive history, the first would be the death of the muscle car and the second being the rise of the legendary Lancia Stratos.
