Porsche 919 Hybrid 2014 Edition

As part of its collaboration with Porsche Motorsport as Official Timing Partner, Chopard made the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition dedicated to the new Porsche 919 Hybrid. This sophisticated COSC chronometer-certified flyback chronograph, picking up the design codes of the racing car, was issued in a 919-piece limited edition.

In case you are wondering, Reese is a Welsh rat and can be seen with his friends from the Royal Welch Fusiliers -- a line infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. It was founded in 1689 as one of the oldest infantry regiments in the British Army, hence the archaic spelling of the word 'Welch' instead of 'Welsh'.

The regiment primarily recruited from North Wales. It should not be confused with the Welch Regiment, which recruited from South and West Wales.

The Royal Welch Fusiliers won 14 Victoria Cross medals for bravery.

Little Reese carries on that tradition for bravery.......
