SHARED PASSION
During the Geneva International Motor-Show in Doha, the Swiss brand announced it had concluded an exclusive partnership with the illustrious French brand currently enjoying a great revival.
Between 1905 and 1953, Delage cars equated with power and elegance. The French brand also stood out from the crowd during prestigious speed and endurance races back in the day. In 2019, the “Les amis de Delage” (Delage Friends) association which keeps the firm’s memory alive, and the entrepreneur Laurent Tapie signed an agreement to relaunch it. This dream has become reality with the creation of a supercar, the D12, a vitamin-boosted racer boasting a hybrid engine of over 1,000 hp. Rebellion, deeply-committed to the world of motor racing since the word ‘go’, has made a name for itself with its own LMP2s. It now runs in the Dakar. So, it was only natural that the two brands should get together over this shared passion for racing. As a result, they’ve just concluded a partnership which is embodied in the shape of the official D12 watch. This one-of-a-kind piece, borrowing from the RE-VOLT model’s lines, is to be issued in a limited series of just 30 pieces. All will be offered as a priority to the future owners of the 30 first Delage D12s. The buyer will be able to choose the dominant color of their Rebellion RE-Volt 3 Hands Delage dial to match the shade of their automobile.
Whatever they choose, their timepiece, equipped with an in-house caliber will flaunt technical and stylistic features inherent to those of the collection. What’s more, Delage will roll out a 31st car, the Delage D12 Rebellion Edition 1/1. This vehicle will be made with a groundbreaking carbon fiber. And, a one-off Rebellion watch will accompany it.
