The 24 hours of Le Mans... in Paris!
When I presented you several weeks ago the renovated first floor of the Chopard boutique Place Vendôme, I would have never expected to find inside an oil can and a tire... far from the image of the high jewelry! But I loved what I saw yesterday at the boutique: an exhibition dedicated to the involvement of Chopard with Porsche at the 24 hours of Le Mans!
Of course, the aim of such exhibition is to highlight the two Superfast Chrono - Porsche 919 watches and to pay homage to Jacky Ickx. But I appreciated a lot the contrast between the motor races atmosphere and the formal room of the boutique.
Please find below several pics I took, sadly with my phone, during my visit:
A true 5 senses visit!
The Jacky Ickx limited edition on the wrist in front of one of his helmets:
The right context for this watch!
A close-up pic of the Jacky Ickx edition: I will have the opportunity to come back later about it.
And the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919:
The exhibition will last till the end of the month so if you are in Paris, don't hesitate to have a look at the first floor of the boutique, you will be surprised!
Thanks to the team of the boutique.
