 GTS
Classics is proud to offer the classic
watches of the Graf Berghe von Trips
Edition made by Elysee.
Elysee is a watch with a long and
prestigious history. In 1920, watchmaker
Jacques Beaufort started his own watch
manufacture in a small town near Bémont,
under the name Elysee. From the beginning,
Jacques Beaufort's timepieces have
had an excellent reputation in regards
to quality and design. Innovative
details such as solid gold extention
bands have been far ahead of the times.
New design ideas follow the watches
and forms from the 1940's to the 60's
with their clear lines and functionality.
Since 2006 Elysee has launched a classic
line of watches dedicated to the race
legend and gentleman Graf Berghe von
Trips.
Today, Elysee has a presence on nearly
all continents and is one of the most
innovative German watch manufacturers
dedicated to the classic designs and
German car racing history. This is
the must have watch for all car lovers.
Graf Berghe von Trips Edition
He is an icon for success, intelligence
and sportsmanship. Wolfgang Alexander
Graf Berghe von Trips is the legendary
German race driver from the 1950's
and 60's. He participated in 29 Formula
One World Championship Grands Prix,
debuting on September 2, 1956. He
won two races, secured one pole position,
achieved six podiums, and scored a
total of 56 championship points.
His nickname in America was 'Count
Crash', mainly due to his spectacular
crashes when driving a Porsche. But
he soon took on a new nickname of
'Taffy' - a name which immigrants
from Wales used in former times for
their bravest and most passionate
men. He was a passionate man, known
for his style of race car driving
and his sportsmanship. He was one
of the best race car drivers in th
world. Just when he nearly succeeded
at the Formula One Championship he
was killed in an accident on September
10th, 1961.
On course to become the first German
to win the Formula One World Championship,
in 1961 von Trips established a go-kart
race track in Kerpen, Germany. The
track was later leased by Rolf Schumacher,
whose sons, Michael and Ralf, made
their first laps there. It was from
there that Michael Schumacher developed
into the race driver and legend that
he is today.
