Le Castellet - April 25th-26th, 2016

Baume & Mercier celebrates the passion for fine mechanical engineering with the “Shelby Only” event at the famous Le Castellet track on April 26th 2016.

Marking the launch of the Capeland Shelby® Cobra 1963, Baume & Mercier is creating a sensation on April 26, 2016 by organizing the “Shelby Only” European meet.
For the first time, authentic Shelby American cars will set off on the famous Mistral track at Le Castellet, in the South of France. To celebrate the two chronographs in this collection, the Geneva-based watch brand is paying a roaring tribute to a legendary race car – the Cobra CSX2128 – and its legendary 1960s drivers.
