Girard-Perregaux Fly-Back Chronograph “Monte-Carlo | The Watch ...

by Tom Mulraney

It’s Monte-Carlo. The year is 1973.The atmosphere is electric, the scenery breathtaking and the people beautiful. All along the French Riviera expectant spectators, their breaths held in anticipation, crane their necks in the direction of the distant, glorious roar of innumerable high-powered vehicles thundering towards them at a tremendous pace. In front of their very eyes history is in the making.

This was the Monte-Carlo rally at its peak. An infinitely complex sporting competition held since 1911 between the French Alps and the French Riviera, attracting the greatest drivers from around the world.

This particular race, however, has a special significance in history’s pages for a number of reasons. 1973 marked the 42nd edition of the Monte-Carlo Rally and saw the launch of the new World Championship for car Brands. Perhaps fittingly the race itself was especially intense with no clear winner emerging until the final moments. After a gruelling duel between Jean-Claude Andruet and Ove Andersson which lasted almost the entirety of the race, spectators witnessed a stunning finale.

Jean-Claude Andruet and Mademoiselle “Biche” won with their Alpine Renault A110 n°18. For the first time, a woman entered in the history of the rally as overall co-winner.

To pay tribute to this momentous occasion and in recognition of the brand’s association with the Monte-Carlo Historic Rally, Girard-Perregaux presents their new Fly-Back Chronograph. Designed with racing enthusiasts in mind it is a true sports watch and thanks to the fly-back function the traditional sequence of operations: stop-reset-start has been replaced by a single press of the push-piece. As is to be expected the Monte Carlo 1973 is equipped with a tachymeter scale engraved on the bezel which allows the user to calculate the speed of a body in motion. How often you will actually use this function is a different matter entirely, however, it is a foregone conclusion that this is a prerequisite for any serious sports watch.
