Norqain timekeeper of the Tortour challenge

This race is one of the most demanding physical challenges in the world. For elite solo participants and teams, the brief is to ride 1,000km non-stop, day-and-night through Switzerland, up winding mountain roads and over rough terrain. The first riders set off from the start/finish line in Küsnacht on the banks of Lake Zurich early in the evening of 17 August and were unlikely to finish until two days later.

As part of this collaboration, the watchmaker has unveiled the ultra-robust and ultra-light Wild One, a timepiece defined by its case design consisting of 25 parts. This limited edition features a black Norteq cage and a visible white rubber shock absorber that surrounds the titanium container housing the movement.
