On 9-10 September 2017, the 200 racing cars and 50 motorbikes revving up for the Gurnigel Bergrennen hill climb, Switzerland’s oldest motorsport race, put their time in the hands of Graham in a long-term partnership. The brand has been named Official Timekeeper and Presenting Sponsor of the prestigious 3,743-metre race with its 17 bends and gradients of up to 12.6%.
Graham is well qualified for its role, thanks to various cooperations ranging from the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) to the GT Asia. The company’s founder Eric Loth also has a passion for cars that extends from engineering expertise to driving in races such as the Swiss Porsche Cup and the Gurnigel Bergrennen. As a brand that likes to stand out from the crowd, Graham was particularly attracted to involvement in an iconic road race in a country where circuit races are forbidden.
On board as the official watch of the two-day programme was the Silverstone RS GMT. The new Silverstone RS GMT timepieces epitomize this performance-driven partnership. They have a black-smoked openwork dial, ceramic bezel with GMT graduation and rubber or quilted leather straps.
