Eberhard & Co sponsor of the Winter Raid

This year Eberhard & Co has been the official timekeeper for one of the most daring classic car competitions of all, Winter Raid, which took place on an alpine route and which took place from 14th to 17th January.

Now in its 12th edition, the event saw 53 classic cars, fitted exclusively with original equipment, pitted against each other on the snow-covered roads between St. Moritz and Kitzbuhel, a route which poses challenges in January even for modern cars equipped with the latest technology. It takes some nerve to face a series of stages, some at night, through snowy alpine passes and on icy roads in cars produced as far back as 1934.

As well as serving as official timekeeper for the event, the Swiss watchmaker also offered its own special award to the winners of the stage dedicated to the brand. The Peter Kappeler & Hans Fueglistaler team on a volvo 544 (1960) were awarded the two Chrono 4 wall clocks by Eberhard & Co during the closing ceremony in Kitzbuhel.
