Christopher Ward C70 Brooklands Chronometer

Two Frenchmen, Robert Senechal and Louis Wagner, drove their equally French Delage 155 to victory in the first ever British Grand Prix , no doubt to the chagrin of the British industry which, for years, had been in the shadow of a French automobile industry that was at the time the largest in Europe. That Malcolm Campbell came in second probably rubbed salt into the wound rather than being cause for celebration!

On an overcast day at the famous Brooklands track in Surrey, the Delage was brought home in a time of 4 hours and 56 seconds, a time that is etched onto a plate on the case side of this stunning chronometer. Although the victory was a French one, the British Racing Green colours of the C70 Brooklands Chronometer, including a ceramic Union Flag beneath museum-grade sapphire crystal on the back of the case, signify the importance of the event (and venue) which was the birth-place of British motorsport and aviation.
