IL TEMPO GIGANTE - BLACK, 41 mm
Only one left!
The Von Doren Il Tempo Gigante Automatisk Kronograf is inspired by Theodore Rimspoke's car "Il Tempo Gigante" from the legendary Norwegian stop-motion film "The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix" (1975).
The watch's running seconds hand is based on a radar display, and the chronograph second hand is fitted with a crosshair. The hands and the chapter ring are equipped with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 to ensure great readability at all hours.
The movement is a La Joux-Perret Top Grade Caliber L112 column wheel based chronograph movement, and is protected by a case in brushed and polished stainless steel. Il Tempo Gigante Automatisk Kronograf is available in two color variants, black and brown, and comes in a custom oak wooden box designed in true Theodore Rimspoke style.

INSPIRATION
Flåklypa Grand Prix
The Von Doren Il Tempo Gigante Automatic Chronograph is inspired by the car in Norway's most successful movie, "Flåklypa Grand Prix" in English "The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix". The film has sold 5.5 million tickets since its release in 1975. The film is a cultural touchstone in Norway. It holds the record as the most widely seen Norwegian film of all time, shown in movie theaters somewhere in the world every day consecutively from 1975 until 2003, thus the most successful stop-motion feature film of all time until the release of "The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 1993.
The new limited edition Von Doren Il Tempo Gigante combines a handsomely balanced and refined base chronograph design with punchy, colorful embellishments and an impressively solid movement to create a cheerfully offbeat Scandinavian challenger to the classic racing chronograph pantheon.
