Vintage 1918 Gallet chronograph.
Gallet explains that the Racing Heritage chronograph dials have also been
designed to enhance visibility. Rather than allowing the hour and minute
hands to occasionally obstruct viewing of the lower time recording hands,
Gallet has opted to create broad, open-profile hands that are luminous at
the outer section only. This means the lower registers of the chronograph
maintain visibility regardless of the time of day or night.
Gallet will make 500 individually numbered Racing Heritage Chronographs
($9,600). A second version of the same watch, the Jim Clark Legacy
Edition Chronograph (250 pieces), honors the legacy of Formula One
driver Jim Clark, with a portion of sales benefiting the renovation and
expansion of the Jim Clark Museum. Both watches are technically the
same, but with a few cosmetic differences. Both are only available direct
from the Gallet website.
