The Louis Chevrolet Driver 1911 watch has been inspired by automobile racing and represents a link of passion between two arts, absolutely essential to the history of the mechanics.

The curves of the Driver 1911 watch will make you think of the silhouettes of old Chevrolet Corvette. The mechanical opening on the wheel and pinion demonstrates the power of V8 engines that have greatly contributed to the reputation of American cars. Its display is inclined at 45 degrees, offering easy reading when driving.

The design of the crown of the main movement is inspired by the look of a gas cap. The Lucky 8 is featured on the pushers and crown and on every screw.

The design and development of the Louis Chevrolet Driver 1911 watch are performed absolutely independently in-house and reflects rich expertise of the brand’s watchmakers.

The Driver 1911 watch is 55 mm wide and 22 mm high. The first mechanical with automatic winding movement that is inclined at 45 degrees is based on an ETA 2892. The movement animates the functions of hours, minutes, power reserve featured on the right counter and service hand on the left counter. The service hand is used for indicating the time left before full and free service of the watch that follows 20 000 hours of wearing the timepiece.

The second movement is a wheel and pinion getting energy from a going barrel that is hand-wound with help of the piston found on the right. To activate the mechanism, it is necessary to press the piston found on the left.

The parts of the finely decorated movements can be admired via the rear part of the watch.

The Louis Chevrolet Driver 1911 watch, will be available in a limited edition of 100 pieces in 2011, the year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Chevrolet Motor Car Company founded by Louis Chevrolet in 1911.

Traditional as it may seem, the watchmaking industry is constantly developing. The last watchmaker to put a new spin on creating timepieces is Richard Mille. Named after its founder, the brand with its radically original watches shook the traditional industry. One of the most famous timepieces produced by the brand is the Richard Mille Perpetual Calendar.
The first feature that distinguishes this timepiece from the traditional watches out there is the extremely lightweight material from which it is made. While the watchmaking world still considers weight equal to value, Richard Mille thinks as a constructor of racing cars and designs his Radically Original watches using strong and lightweight materials. The base-plate of the Richard Mille Perpetual Calendar is made from carbon fiber and titanium and weighs practically nothing.
The case of the timepiece is also quite innovative. First of all, the process of its production is very labor-consuming. To construct a single case, the watchmakers of the brand need to perform 202 different machining operations. The construction of the case is stunning. Using a whole new approach, Richard Mille did not use a casing ring designing the case.
The Richard Mille Perpetual Calendar is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement with a flyback chronograph function. This means that the chronograph movement can be stopped, reset and restarted with a single push of the button between 4 and 5 o’clock.
The timepiece features another horological complication: a date display. The date is displayed in a horizontal aperture at 12 o’clock which is outlined in red. Thanks to the annual calendar, months with less than 31 days are automatically taken into account.
The dial of the Richard Mille Perpetual Calendar is also extraordinary – the usual blank spaces are perforated, while the hours, minutes, seconds and the sub-dial outlines are left in the solid.
