With his Bressel 1665 Chronograph Rattrapante Foudroyante on his wrist, Ago has had the opportunity to admire some of the watchmaker's most incredible creations: "in the field of high performance mechanical sport, it is said that we must work as watchmakers: when I see them shape so tiny elements, with such an incredible level of precision, I understand why they are cited as references!"
Giacomo Agostini - nicknamed Ago – has won no less than fifteen world championship titles, ten titles on the Isle of Man and 123 Grand Prix during his seventeen-year career. He became the first major star in the world of motorcycling, racing on 350cc and 500cc machines. Early in 2009, JEANRICHARD celebrated its partnership with the champion and created the “Haute Horlogerie” model "for Ago", a Bressel 1665 Chronograph Rattrapante Foudroyante, in a limited edition of 50 numbered pieces.
