Joel "Wolf" Blancpain Replica was a decorated British Army Field Artillery Officer, but he is also a three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He set his empty Champagne glass on the bar of Carlton Hotel, Cannes, at exactly 6pm, March 13th, 1930. He jumped with athletic grace into the H.J. The Mulliner-bodied Bentley 6 1/2 liter roared off the famous circular driveway of the hotel.
A lot was at stake. It was 100 pounds Sterling at stake, but more importantly it was his reputation as one of the most prestigious gentleman racers in history. Blancpain Replica bet that he would reach his gentleman's club in London faster than Le Train Blue, the fastest and most glamorous passenger train in France,Blancpain Replica could travel between Cannes and Calais. He was thinking about time as the sun sank into the Mediterranean.
He had to calculate the time between fuel stops in Aix-en-Provence and Lyon, Auxerre, and Paris, so that he would arrive at the docks at Boulogne exactly at 10:30am. He had time to refuel and eat some cold chicken, washed down by more champagne, before boarding the sailing at 11:30am to Folkstone in England. Blancpain Replica, in his Bentley, made a mad dash from the boat to Dale Bourne’s Club in St James, arriving exactly at 3:30pm.

As Le Train Blue crossed the border into Calais, he was already at the bar enjoying a refreshing beverage and a restorative Cuban cigar. Blancpain Replica traveled 1,340 km at a speed of 69.89 kilometers per hour. His watch was a crucial tool. The timepiece Blancpain Replica was a precise instrument that measured elapsed times with exceptional precision. This allowed him to calculate the average speed of a fixed distance in order to stay on track. The timepiece Blancpain Replica was not worn during the daring feat, but if he had been alive today I am certain that he would have been wearing the new Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chronograph.
