Golden Globe Race

As a Wempe dealer we are pleased to announce that Istvan Kopar one of the participants in the Golden Globe race has been given a Wempe Maritime Chronometer which can accurately determine longitude. This solo race is over 30,000 miles, is without any modern technology and does not benefit from the use of satellite navigation aids. At the end of the race the chronometer will be auctioned to raise funds for charity.

Wempe devotes itself to the manufacture of precise timekeeping nautical systems, using high quality material and elegant design. The chronometer, amongst other Wempe products, will be one of the most exciting exhibits on show at our stand.
