Rallymaster is Lonville’s latest watch. Our objective was to create ‘the ultimate classic rally watch’
using our decade-long experience in classic car rallies. This means robustness, reliability,
readability as well as a timeless elegant appearance.
The Rallymaster’s robust stainless steel 40mm case is perfectly suited for ‘real-life’ rally usage. Polished and brushed surfaces are juxtaposed, granting a sumptuous appearance, while the ‘twisted’ lugs, exude elegance.
Dial colours and watch names are inspired by some of our beloved classic cars, race teams and drivers — it is our way to show respect.* From the outset, we also always intended for the Rallymaster to have a more accessible cost of ownership compared to our flagship Virage.
The dial is enriched with a sunburst. The three sub-dials are snailed and the indexes are hand applied. The alpha-style hour and minute hands encompass Lonville’s own design influences while remaining eminently legible. The slender central chronograph seconds hand is enriched with a red, openworked tip, augmenting eye-appeal and facilitating read-off in the heat of competition.
Rallymaster’s LV3 self-winding chronograph movement is as robust as it is beautiful, and is shown in all it’s glory through the sapphire back. More details below.
What is impossible to describe is the amount of passion, attention to detail and craftsmanship that has gone into each single detail of the Rallymaster. This remains for you to explore.
Rallymaster is built in 88 numbered pieces. This ensures your Rallymaster will remain a rare sight, whether hard at work during a rally or showing its handsome looks at a cocktail party.
Rallymaster Two uses the One design and adds a dial-coloured tachymeter ring as well as re-designed chronograph sub-dials.
Rallymaster is equipped with the Calibre LV3, made by movement specialist Sellita. This self-winding movement was selected for its comparative robustness, making it ideal for classic rally use or daily wear.
The movement is constructed in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a Swiss city synonymous with fine watchmaking. The frequency of the balance is 28,800 vph (4Hz) and the movement contains 25 jewels. Once fully wound, the watch will run autonomously for 48 hours.
Upholding Lonville’s reputation for excellence, the Calibre LV3 is endowed with numerous enhancements. The main plate and barrel bridge feature perlage, while the automatic device bridge and rotor are decrated with Côtes de Genève motif. Blued screws uphold fine watchmaking practise.
The rotor incorporates blue Rallymaster engraving and is open worked in it’s final design (image still shows a more closed rotor).
