When the going gets tough – the tough get going.

And nothing in world motorsport is tougher than rallycross, where man and machine must work as one, against the clock, against their rivals and against the elements. Only the best, and most focused, drivers will triumph. That unconquerable spirit also inspires Edox as timing partner of the FIA World Rallycross Championship.

The best drivers expect only the best from their equipment and the new limited edition Edox Chronorally X-Treme Pilot (555 pieces worldwide) is the perfect timekeeping accessory in a sport where split-second timing is critical to success. Like the rallycross cars themselves, the Chronorally is a beautiful ‘machine’.

It’s big and bold with a 48mm titanium case and packed with an array of chronograph functions, all controlled by a Calibre 38s movement. The iconic, oversized pushers at two o’clock and four o’clock allow the wearer – even with driving gloves - to measure lap times with exquisite precision.

The green-and-yellow dial, evoking the dashboard controls of a rally car, allows functions such as tachymeter, the 1/10 chronograph, retrograde day and big date window to stand out with maximum visibility. Coating the hands and indices with Superluminova ensures the Chronorally X-Treme Pilot goes the extra mile for readability, whatever the conditions.

Weighing just 130 grams, water-resistant to 100m and with a robust sapphire crystal to protect that striking dial, the Chronorally X-Treme Pilot continues Edox’s long association with the very best in motorsport, be it on asphalt, dirt, sand or the snow.

The yellow-stitched leather strap and car-wheel case back add the per-fect finishing touches to a timepiece that seamlessly blends form and functionality infused with the DNA of motorsport.

Along the way, it will visit some of the world’s most historic rallycross tracks, while maintaining two exciting challenges in the shape of Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit and the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
EDOX

Like time itself, Swiss boutique watchmaker Edox never stands still. Founder Christian Ruefli-Flury was driven by his heart when, in 1884, he made a pocket watch for his beloved wife Pauline’s 25th birthday. Delighted, she convinced him to set up his own company – Edox.

GARRICK – S3 Limited Edition

GARRICKS3 Timepiece 42mm Limited Edition

Following the success of the S1 and S2 models, Garrick continues its ascent ever upwards into the rarefied world of high horology, releasing its latest timepiece, the Garrick S3. This new watch showcases the British brand’s vast expertise and penchant for hand craftsmanship.

The S3 features an openworked dial revealing a myriad of components usually hidden from view. Moreover, the new movement, the UT-GO4 calibre, encompasses chatons and peerless finishing, including time-consuming black polishing.

When Garrick unveiled its S1 model in 2018, it announced to the watch collecting community that the British brand was capable of producing fine watches, rich in technical virtue and hand craftsmanship.

Building on the success of previous models, Garrick has now created the S3, the company’s most technical watch to date.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO
The S1 model featured an openworked dial which exposed a series of gears and pinions, positioned atop the mainplate. The S3 is different. The S3’s mainplate is a new design featuring a number of recesses which accommodate the aforementioned parts. These parts sit flush with the upper mainplate surfaces, providing a neater appearance. This specification detail meant Garrick’s watchmakers had to revisit each movement component and, in many cases, relocate parts in order to ensure functionality and augment the model’s aesthetic allure. Ultimately, these various changes led to the creation of the new UT-GO4 calibre.

Consistent with previous models, the S3 features Garrick’s Maritime hour and minute hands, crafted in-house and heat blued. The hour track incorporates Roman numerals and, once again, is made in-house and thermally blued. A small seconds display and power-reserve indicator complete the inventory of functions. As per the S1, clients can select a discreet nameplate or choose to eschew dialside branding.

The balance is positioned front of house, in the lower portion of the dial. A prominent bridge spans the balance wheel and is enriched with straight graining and black polishing. The movement is endowed with a Trinity free-sprung balance made of Sircumet, a non-magnetic alloy exclusive to Garrick. A free-sprung balance enhances isochronism and mitigates positional influence on the rate, surpassing the ubiquitous index-adjusted balance. The timing screws affixed to the balance wheel are set in-board, reducing air turbulence and, by default, augmenting precision.

The gears and a plethora of other components are made in-house using traditional watchmaking machines such as jig borers and lathes. Numerous grey-toned parts are, once again, made of Sircumet and subject to black polishing. This latter type of finish necessitates polishing parts on a tin plate in conjunction with diamantine paste, flattening the surface and delivering a brilliant, mirror-like appearance. The rhodium-plated movement is hand-frosted and features chatons, while the case is offered in stainless steel or 18-carat gold.

By virtue of its exalted, no-compromise creation, the making of the Garrick S3 is restricted to just five pieces per annum. This latest watch, crafted by hand in Norfolk, showcases the talents of Garrick’s skilled staff and demonstrates that British watchmaking is very much alive and well.
