The Quinting Manufacture to Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Quinting is partner of an exceptional international automobile event, by supporting the brilliant Automobile team Fagglioli in the Colorado; the most renowned of the dangerous races, and the most followed all over the world.
Pilots were seeking for a watch which can, as for racing engines, achieve Pikes Peak’s specific technical challenges, pushing even farther the constraints on the movement, because of the atmospheric pressure, due to high altitudes.
Indeed, the 156 bends and curves running the 19,97kms of the course, with an ascending elevation of 1440m and slopes around 7%, leading pilots and cars at the altitude of 4300m, requires high technical aptitude for developing engines which can be efficient all along the Track!
Quinting challenges the same objective with its Moonlight Pike Peaks model, using the synergy compensation movement, developed and patented by Pascal BERCLAZ!
Fabien Bouduban, the only Swiss representative at the Race, chose Quinting Factory’s to realize study and development for 2 exceptional watches!
While the patented Quinting movement required 5 engineers, 7 years of R&D and more than 15 million euros, it took one more year to the brand, to realize the Moonlight Pikes Peak movement!
Thus the Italian Team’s driver Simone FAGGIOLI (multiple Mountain’s European Champion) and Quinting throwing proudly on the Car, achieved all these complicated challenges, reaching the 1st place of their category.
Much more awesome, Fabien BOUDUBAN, Boss of the Team’s and Rookie of the Race, granted a wonderful 3rd place.
Here is how such a famous Race, followed by more than 10 million people, and 100 million more on social networks, gave Bouduban’s Team and Quinting a sublime International Aura!
