*** Graham Chronofighter for Mansory - Click for high-res image gallery***
If you’re going to provide sportscars to the clientele that can afford them, you’d better be ready to offer them a wristwatch to go with it. Just about every exotic automaker does, and now even the aftermarket firms are lining up to do the same.
In the case of Mansory - purveyors of so many gaudy mod jobs - the customizers teamed up with Graham London, the same watchmaker that makes custom wristwatches for the Mercedes GP team. Which is a good thing, because if Mansory designed it themselves, something tells us it would come out in pepto pink and purple or feature more gold bling than all of St. Petersburg - Russia and Florida.http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/07/web-graham-mansory2.jpg
Instead, Graham created a special-edition Chronofighter with an oversize 47mm steel case, a carbon fiber dial, bezel decorated in the “Clous de Paris” motif and a smoked sapphire crystal case-back. Inside is a Calibre G1734 automatic chronograph movement, operated by trigger on the left side (for easier operation while driving) and affixed to the wrist with a rubber strap.
The effect is hardly subtle, but next to some of Mansory’s other offerings, it looks downright subdued. The price, though, is decidedly in keeping with Mansory’s invoice sheet: If you can get your hands on one of the 50 that will be made, it’ll set you back €8,900 in Germany - about $12,700 in equivalent American currency. Details in the press release after the jump, with images in the high-resolution gallery.Continue reading Mansory thankfully lets Graham London design their chronograph for them
