Pierre Kunz's Chrono Sport Monaco
29-Jul-2007

Pierre Kunz Geneva contributes for a second time to an exceptional charity effort in support of research for a rare genetic degenerative disease primarily affecting voluntary muscles. The house has created a timepiece, The Chrono Sport Monaco, exclusively for the "Only Watch '07" auction taking place Sept. 20 in Monte Carlo. It is organized by Antiquorum under the patronage of SAS Prince Albert of Monaco in conjunction with Monaco Yacht Show and will be auctioned to raise funds for research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

The Chrono Sport Monaco is a stylish chronograph housed in a 44mm case in stainless steel with a 'Monaco' red texalium dial. The retrograde hours and minutes chronograph function are indicated on two open sectors showing some of the secrets of the mechanisms of the rack and pinion system, revealing the entire movement. The Chrono Sport Monaco is an addition to Pierre Kunz' existing Chronograph sports line, which unites advanced technology and original design.

The high-end Swiss watch brand is part of the Frank Muller Group located in Genthod, Switzerland, an area that generates an atmosphere rich in creativity. Pierre Kunz launched his first collection in 2002, combining his extraordinary dynamism with an exceptional know-how that blends tradition and modernity. His style derives from architecture and is translated into ideal proportions and perfect structures.

img The latest is also the largest in the Navitimer line from Breitling. Its new Montbrilliant Legends chronograph is the most imposing of the Navitimers with a stature of 47mm. It features a smoothly integrated case and bracelet and the trademark Breitling aeronautical spirit in the form of a circular slide rule and a caseback with a conversion scale for the main aviation weights and measures.

It features a Breitling Calibre 23 movement that is officially certified by the COSC and is self winding at a high frequency with 25 jewels. It features a cambered sapphire crystal that is glare-proof on both sides.

Depending on the version, it costs between $5,600 and $8,600.
