PAGANI ZONDA F Chrono

—Technical performance and aesthetic research
are the driving force for the automobile and
watchmaking industries. They are also the
immutable watchwords guiding the creation
of this one-of-a-kind timepiece:
the Pagani Zonda F Chrono.

In his quest for an alter ego in the elite world of
Haute Horlogerie, Horacio Pagani designed
a magnificent object where art and technology
match in a single word interpreting Pagani’s
creations. All drawings, concepts and materials
chosen by Pagani gave birth to a high clockwork
piece, thanks to the experience of Cvstos
talented designer, Antonio Terranova. He has
been asked to express technically the aesthetical
content thought by Mr. Pagani, being in tune with
his extraordinary supercars. The result shows
a sophistication that is expressed in a plethora
of similarities that form a strong reminder of its
shared identity with the Pagani Zonda F.

The particularly refined watchcase comes in
titanium, a metal renowned for its typical
aeronautical derivation, or in the noble allure
characteristic of 5N red gold. The polished and
satin-finished form replicates the slender,
elegant lines of the car’s bodywork.
Thanks to the creative, three-dimensional mind
of Antonio Terranova, the rear end of
the Pagani Zonda F can be seen distinctly on
the side of the case at 9 o’clock, whilst the
crown and push-pieces are reminiscent in
design of the gear lever and dashboard controls.
The use of advanced, state-of-the-art assembly
methods ensures that this resilient, robust watch
remains water-resistant to 100 metres.

Framed by a layering of sapphire crystals
supported by two grade 5 titanium columns,
the double dial displays the hours using a
typography that would be perfectly at home on
the instrument panel of these remarkable supercars.
The hands proudly sporting the Pagani logo are
enveloped in transparency in an amazing feat of
superimposition. The ultra-precise mechanical
chronograph movement with automatic winding
is fitted with a rotor designed and developed by
Cvstos, which combines the extreme density
of palladium with the special high elasticity module
of grade 5 titanium. With a passion for perfection
that is evident in every last detail, Antonio Terranova
has reinvented the rotor in a version that replicates
a Pagani wheel rim and allows connoisseurs to
admire the workings through the transparent
sapphire crystal back. The watchband fastener is
admirably manufactured in steel and carbon fiber.
The height of elegance is achieved in this stunning
chronograph, whose leather strap is similar in both
quality and stitching to that used by master saddlers
to adorn the cockpit of a Pagani sports car.

Of one thing there remains no doubt, the Pagani
Chrono symbolizes the resounding success of
the fabulous cars who inspired it.
