BREAKING NEWS: Montblanc Becomes Official Time Partner of Goodwood Festival of Speed
And now with the announcement of the maison’s partnership with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it would appear that Montblanc’s not satisfied with merely creating these instruments, but rather they wish to also have these timepieces brought into a universe they quite naturally belong to.
The 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed will bear the theme, Peaks of Performance, which will highlight cars from the history of racing that were so ground breaking that entire rule sets had to be changed in order to have these cars be brought into professional racing.
This is not unlike the history of Minerva, who at the height of their pursuit of creating precision timing instruments became pertinent to motor car race with instruments that were accurate up to 1/100th of a second. The famed Rally Timer stopwatch was one such instrument that came to being in 1960.
Montblanc, who will be the festival’s official timing partner for the next five years, will be there at Goodwood with not just the 2017 TimeWalker collection, but also The Game Changers, a set of 10 revolutionary race cars from the 1920s to present day that disrupted motor sports with the innovation they brought to the field. These cars will not be there just for show and tell, they will also be participating in the famed Goodwood hill climb.
