If you think blending motorsport and watchmaking is as easy as flipping a pancake, Edox is here to show you just how right you are! Celebrating 115 years of sheer adrenaline and elegance, this Swiss watchmaker has unveiled the limited edition Sportsman Chronograph in tribute to the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio, a name that makes even the fastest cars seem slow.
Juan Manuel Fangio didn’t just compete in motorsports – he dominated. To honor his illustrious career, Edox has partnered with the Museo Fangio to bring forth two versions of the Sportsman Chronograph, each as rare as a unicorn sighting with only 115 pieces each. And just like unicorns, these watches are absolutely magical – they capture the spirit of an era where racing wasn’t just a sport, but a battle of courage and skill.
Gazing at the watch face, you’ll find Fangio’s signature etched into the dial, a subtle nod to his racing prowess. Available in a deep navy blue or an off-white color, these dials reflect both the pulse-pounding thrill and timeless sophistication of Fangio’s racing days. And let’s not forget the beating heart of the thing – a mechanical chronograph ensuring that your timepiece keeps pace with your life.
Each watch comes with two strap options: a racing-style perforated leather strap for when you want to feel the wind in your hair, and a mesh bracelet for when you need a touch of class. It’s versatile enough for both the track and the boardroom, with no pit stops required.
If you’re into history as much as high speeds, consider this: Edox’s commitment to pushing boundaries doesn’t stop at cars – they’ve partnered with BMW Motorrad Motorsport. They’ve been mastering time since 1884 when Christian Ruefli-Flury crafted a pocket watch for his wife – the ultimate sign of timeless love, and also the birth of Edox.
