Chopard’s ambassadors Mark Webber and Brendon Hartley become Drivers’ World Champions 2015

I have to admit that the Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition watch is getting more attractive....and its a limited edition......hmmm.

Sakhir - Kingdom of Bahrain

For Porsche Motorsport and its official timing partner Chopard, a perfect season has come to an end. Porsche concluded the FIA World Endurance Championship 2015 in Bahrain by taking a sixth consecutive race win and a second title.

Saturday 21st November 2015 - Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb achieved their first race victory this season with the Porsche 919 Hybrid #18.

The German manufacturer with its Official Timing Partner Chopard won in Shanghai the 2015 WEC Championship title and in Bahrain the 2015 Drivers’ World Champion title, two titles to add to the historical record of both brands.

Mark Webber, Chopard’s ambassador said: “It’s the first Drivers World Championship for me – this feels beautiful. That’s not an easy thing to achieve, so to have won this title is very special. But to win it wearing a Porsche suit is even more special to me. The last time Porsche won this Championship was 29 years ago with Derek Bell.”

Chopard’s new ambassador, Brendon Hartley added: “I am very, very proud. My earliest memories are watching my father at the racetrack. I was six years old when I started racing go-karts and always dreamt of being a World Champion. I am extremely proud of sharing this moment with Mark, Timo and the entire Porsche Team. Every single person in the Porsche Team contributed to this. I will never forget this day, I am very proud!”

Porsche and Chopard: timing, precision and performance - a Superfast Chronograph
For the second year, Chopard is proud to be the Official Timing Partner of Porsche Motorsport. Perfectly in line with the spirit of Chopard’s Superfast watch collection, this prestigious partnership is an extension of the company longstanding commitment to automotive sports. In 2014, Chopard became “Official Timing Partner” of Porsche Motorsport for the German racing team’s grand comeback to endurance competition. That same year, to celebrate this exclusive partnership, Chopard launched a new Superfast chronograph inspired by the Porsche 919 Hybrid competing in the World Endurance Championship LMP1 category: the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition.

The Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition is entirely in tune with WEC racing. This imposingly sized chronograph with its 45 mm-diameter case and flyback function beats to the pace of a mechanical Chopard 03.05-M calibre, chronometer-certified by the COSC. This engine and its oscillating weight may be admired through a sapphire crystal engraved with the inscription “Official Timing Partner Porsche Motorsport”. Inspired by the new Porsche 919 Hybrid, the stripes on the dial evoke the racing car’s rear diffuser. Likewise, the “919” appearing in a red rectangle inside a 9 o’clock subdial is identical to the number of the Porsche racing cars. Finally, the rubber strap is inspired by slick tyres serving to negotiate bends at extremely high speeds.

This sophisticated and powerful Superfast chronograph proclaims a highly exclusive nature that is a perfect match for the legendary Porsche cars, since the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition from Chopard is produced in a strictly limited 919-piece series reserved for those who are quick off the mark!

Chopard takes great pride in its partnership with Porsche during the FIA World Endurance Championship. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele states: “Porsche creates ultimate sports cars, successful in racing and exciting to drive on the road. Chopard shares this passion for performance and excellence. We are proud to have accompanied Porsche Motorsport as official timing partner for their second endurance racing season.”

The FIA World Endurance Championship will continue in 2016 for a third year partnership between Chopard and Porsche Motorsport.
