“Liberty, I write your name” declared Paul Eluard’s in his poem written during WW2.
Knowing how much we owe the British and Allied troops, we do not forget and celebrate the heritage of the landmark victory of May 8th, 1945, which ended the war in Europe.
The reedition of the Chronofighter VE-Day is obvious for me as the world celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the Victory in Europe and Graham celebrates his 25th Anniversary. The today’s limited-edition watch comes with the authentic dial manufactured in 2005 for the first edition and COSC certified movement from the original series.
The determination, hope and resilience of our forefathers made Europe the land of liberty. A great inspiration to keep all of us against all odds. – ERIC LOTH, Founder & Principal Partner
