The Swiss watchmaker, one of the main protagonists on the vintage cars events' scenario since over 20 years, awarded one of its prestigious timepieces to each winner of the three competing categories.
Axel Marx, winner of the pre-war category with his wife as copilot in his fantastic Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport (1932),
received a Tazio Nuvolari chronograph, from the emblematic collection dedicated by Eberhard & Co. to the great driver of the past.

Mario Peserico , Managing Director of Eberhard in team with Carlo Borgonovi on his Maserati Ghibli SS,
obtained the third position in his category, an additional reason for the Swiss Maison to rejoice and strengthen its link with the world of timeless cars.
