For those who live at the intersection of vintage motor racing and precision horology, the new Ollech & Wajs RALLYCHRON ‘Coupe des Alpes’ is more than just a timepiece—it’s a statement of adrenaline-fueled legacy. Released in partnership with Rallystory, this chronograph pays homage to the golden era of the Coupe des Alpes, a legendary 820km race through some of the most treacherous and breathtaking passes in the European Alps.
The 2025 edition of the modern-day rally saw 150 drivers from 15 nations navigate classic metal, from Ferrari 250 GTs to the ferocious Testarossa. Car number 56, a 1974 Maserati Merak, was driven by an OW works team, with the Rallychron strapped to the wrists of many racers. The Swiss-made chronograph doesn’t just echo the past—it wears it proudly with a ‘Coupe des Alpes’ signed dial, a racing-inspired Alpine blue accent, and a custom Valjoux 7753 automatic movement featuring a commemorative rotor.
Limited to just 56 pieces per year, the number nods to both the founding year of OW (1956) and the 56 teams that participated in the legendary 1958 rally—the most brutal on record. Retailing at $3,100, the OW Rallychron Coupe des Alpes isn’t for your average desk jockey. It’s for those who chase time—and sometimes race it.
