Meccaniche Veloci - Chrono Driver NEW
BASELWORLD 2013: ALL SET FOR THE CHRONO DRIVER
Meccaniche Veloci to present its new timepiece
Vicenza, March 2013 – Preparations for the forthcoming edition of Baselworld are underway at Meccaniche Veloci. The star of the show will be the new Chrono Driver, a modern take on the legendary “driver’s watch” worn by many of motorsport’s heroes.
The Chrono Driver, just like other timepieces in the “driver’s watch” category, is highly dynamic. Its case, which is supported by a titanium or carbon frame, is able to change angles so that the time can be read without losing grip on the wheel for even a moment.
As lovers of speed and motors shouldn’t need to sacrifice beauty, the latest “Motored by Italian Passion” creation is not just a performance timepiece but is also eye-catching. As with all Meccaniche Veloci watches, the Chrono Driver combines Italian design and Swiss-made precision movements ensuring a perfect unison of stunning aesthetics and exact time keeping.

Drivers Watch - background
Speeding around racetracks in the pursuit of time, there is no space for distractions. In the early 1900s, the leading racing drivers knew this and chose what was called a “driver’s watch”, a timepiece that could be worn on the side of the wrist. In 1937, the Gruen Watch Company launched the first Ristside driver’s watch as Bernd Rosemeyer at the wheel of a Union Type C set the new world land speed record over a mile at 406km/h and Tazio Nuvolari celebrated victory on the circuit of Milan in his Alfa Romeo 12 C-36.

Meccaniche Veloci
Founded in 2006 with the aim of merging automobile engineering with high watchmaking, reviving all the adrenalin from the world of speed into wristwatches distinguished by their design and strong sporting and technological nature. The symbol of the company is the piston, with the four points for the valves, which are reproduced and engineered to accommodate the four movements of the watch – hence the name the Four Valves (Quattro Valvole), which identifies the models in the iconic collections. Meccaniche Veloci expresses the key values of its DNA via the accuracy of its Italian design, the precision of Swiss technology, and the emotions from its world of engines and speed.
