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.
