VIN FIZ WRIGHT EX
The first crossing of the United States by airplane was achieved by Calbraith Perry Rodgers in 1911 in his Wright EX biplane, named the Vin Fiz.
William Randolph Hearst, had captured the attention of the aviation world when he announced a $50,000-prize for the first flight across the United States in thirty days or less. The offer was good for one year beginning on October 10, 1910.
The airplane was a Wright EX, a special design that was used for exhibition flying, which was a slightly smaller version of the Wright Company's standard Model B flyer. Like the support rail car, Rodgers's aircraft carried the Vin Fiz logo on its wings and tail, and was quickly dubbed the Wright EX Vin Fiz.
Each timepiece has a hand-placed and mounted authentic and certified piece of fabric from the 1911 Vin Fiz Wright Brothers EX biplane.
Red, orange, yellow fluorescence and white phosphors that glow blue create a glowing effect each time the UV-L.E.D. technology is activated. Vaucanson timepieces have three distinctly different appearances; one in daylight, another under UV-LED illumination, and a third in the afterglow once the UV-LED deactivates.
The result of this collaboration is an innovative and patented illumination system which makes this timepiece a true fusion of technology and aesthetics. A perfect balance has been struck between advanced technologies and sophisticated, beautifully executed timepiece dials.
Each timepiece comes with a customized raised 3D green VIN FIZ and purple grapes and green script with a green loop and a purple loop, on a black silicone strap that has quick-release pins and a beautiful rose gold tone tang buckle.
Eighteen layers of proprietary aerospace UV blocking technology
Rose gold caseback with recessed cross-hatching and a raised V logo, bottom half is for customized engraving.
Vaucanson timepieces are proudly assembled in the United States of America.
Now you can wear an actual piece of the authentic fabric from the1911 VIN FIZ Wright Brothers EX biplane that was the 1st to fly, coast to coast in the United States.
