WatchZone readers know that I have been following the America’s Cup
races and the special edition watches that are being produced to mark
the occasion. It was just a few weeks ago that the Corum-sponsored
French ENERGY TEAM, led by Loïck Peyron, achieved their first major
victory in the America’s Cup World Series a few weeks ago in Venice.
Recently the team was in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, and though they
only managed a 6th place showing, I did manage to grab some video of
Corum ENERGY Team captain Loick Peyron talking about the importance of
timing in racing (see Video below). I also managed to run-down some
specifics on the watch the Peyron is wearing during the races — an
Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Chrono Centro Maxi – Trophée Jules Verne. In
the video if you listen closely you will hear Peyron mentions a special
timepiece/mechanism that Corum is working on which will offer improved
ability to measure race timing. I asked Corum about this and they chose
to give me a “no comment” but did acknowledge that the announcement
would come when the time is right. Can’t wait 
For now, a look at the Corum Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Chrono Centro
Maxi – Trophée Jules Verne, along with the video of Loick Peyron.
