Functionality meets aesthetics

The polished stainless-steel case (316L) with rectangular pushers has a diameter of 40mm, feels robust and of high quality on the wrist and is comfortable to wear for both men and women. With its elegant design and fascinating appearance, this watch is an eye-catcher and modern classic for every occasion, whether in the office, at dinner parties or during leisure time. The watch is water resistant up to 10ATM (100 meters) and can therefore be worn during almost all activities.

To meet the requirements of a watch that is suitable for everyday use, we have opted for a high-quality, curved sapphire crystal with excellent scratch resistance. The curvature also gives the glass a vintage character, and the glass’s interior is doubly antireflective for the sake of good visibility. The clear, matte white dial and the polished dolphin hands embody the typical atmosphere of the past. The hand-applied, raised hour-markers painted in the case’s colour add extra volume to the dial.

The chronograph is not just impressive because of its elegant and sporty design. It also has several useful functions. In addition to the 30-minute stop function, the blue tachymeter scale offers the possibility of measuring speeds. Distances can also be measured with the red telemeter scale. Through the sapphire crystal back, the Sea-Gull ST1940 automatic movement can be witnessed as it occurs – a piece of real watchmaking artistry for your wrist. The automatic motion, derived from an old Swiss clockwork mechanism, accompanies you through thick and thin – quiet, reliable and precise.

We believe that timepieces should be exclusive and not mass-produced. We wish to create unique watches – quality instead of quantity; special instead of ordinary. Therefore, the Vintro Le Mans 1952 Chronograph will be limited to 500 pieces. So, you can be sure that you own a wristwatch that is rare and special and can be worn with a clear conscience, something simply unique.

The Le Mans 1952 quartz chronograph is powered by a Seiko VK64A Meca quartz movement. This was chosen after careful consideration to realise our vision of what we wanted the watch to achieve in terms of both size and functionality, as well as reliability and ease of use.

The VK64A is a hybrid clockwork mechanism that combines the accuracy and stability of a quartz watch with the feel and handling of a mechanical chronograph (five steps per second of chronograph stop-hand and fly-back function). This means that the chronograph's second hand is mechanical and moves "slowly", unlike a typical quartz watch with a jumping second. Since the VK64A does not have a permanent second hand, there is nothing to indicate that it is actually a quartz watch. In order to give the watch more vintage character, we have decided not to use the date window.

Le Mans 1952:

„He looks at the clock, only a few minutes away from the start. It is always fascinating, even after so many races, this feeling remains. Whether as a little boy in a soapbox or today with 250 hp. This dull feeling. This tingling in the stomach area. This uncertainty. Only 4 minutes left. Will the technique work? Will it do justice to the technique? The second hand is making its rounds. 3 minutes to go. The creeping second has always had a calming effect on him. At that time already at the strong wrist of his father. Today it should bring him luck. With the words ‘My boy, time passes, memories remain, enjoy every moment’ his father had strapped the watch to him. Still 1 minute. The anticipation has suppressed the nervousness. Now it is only a matter of enjoying the moment. Only the car, the road and him. He is ready. Ready to collect memories. Ready to write history.“

Our Collection: Le Mans 1952 Chronographs

Since the beginning of the post-war period, at the end of the 1940s, chronographs have not only been designed for military purposes but also for motor sports. During those days, many classic designs were created that are still timeless today and make many collectors' hearts skip a beat.  The design of our chronograph was inspired by that era. We pay tribute to the chronographs of the period because of their beautiful dials, which provide a wealth of information and are both elegant and sporty.   Our Bicompax Chronograph is named after the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1952, Hermann Lang and Fritz Riess won the race in a Mercedes 300SL (W-194 series) as the first and last Germans. Motorsport has long been influenced by Swabian engineering, and we still believe that Swabian skills can change everything. For this reason, too, our watches are made in Southern Germany.   Through Swabian thoroughness, we can ensure that our chronograph not only captivates due to its timeless, characteristically vintage design, but also because the quality seal "Made in Germany". Carefully selected materials and precise workmanship make our watches absolutely suitable for everyday use and your long-lasting companion.
