Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition + Porsche Experience 2016 Event
Now is the time again for the newest Chopard Superfast debut and the collaboration event with Porsche here in Tokyo.
Most are Porsche clients and they are here for the new models debut.
And here is the Chopard booth and seemed really busy all day. Car lover=watch lover? It is a nice combination, collaboration.
Do you know how these two brands were connected?
The answer: Jacky Ickx. Jacky Ickx is a legendary racing drive (and my hero, too) who is very important to Porsche legend in the racing scene. At the same time, Jacky Ickx has been a good friend of Mr. Karl Friedrich Scheufele.
And here is the latest Chopard Superfast Porsche 919 Black Edition in the showcase.

Maybe a bit big for weekday use, but I wouldn't mind wearing on weekend, especially in the circuit!
This year's 919 (mock-up model) - which won Le Mans last month.
From the outside, a bit blacker, grayish, than the last year version.
This is the LAST YEAR version. What changed inside - I don't know yet....
Superfast? Super cool!
I am soooo sad that I already know that I cannot go see this year's Fuji Speedway race - my business trip schedule includes that important weekend... :-(
Many people want to try to sit in the drivers' seat.....

Thank you, Porsche Japan, and Chopard Japan!

Thank for the review.
The side shot teveals how thick the watch really is. Looks like it fit your wrist. Bill
Looks like this inside
Ken Thanks for the Tokyo update. Porsche is very popular in Japan as I discovered every Sunday when sports cars were cruising through my neighbourhood to Meguro, Daikanyama and Ebisu. The inside of the Porsche race car may look like this... Romain Dumas i...
Nice looking but . . .
. . . quite thick and well into my "no go" zone of 14 mm max thickness. Over the years I've become allergic to these thick watches, but they're likely in the sweet spot for the younger crowd (I'm 60). The other Chopard in your pic continues to grow on me....
M4, it is a really thick watch, but for what it is worth, it is really comfortable.
I have tried it on many times (not this version), and it is tempting despite it\'s girth! Best, CaliforniaJed
Thanks for this report!
The chrono looks great but the twin shot with your 8HF just produces a clear ranking for me (and the Porsche does not win that one). Too large at a time of diminishing sizes. The 8HF is simply perfect
Black and red is truly something we keep on finding in the Chopard collection
Thank you for your post Ken. It seems like Chopard and Porsche make a good partnership. Related to the mock-up model, the same was seen in front of the Porsche shop in Le Mans this year. But I guess the advanced lights of the true model 2016 reveal the tr...
