Content Generation

• Placed a watch on the bow, and on the base and top of the mast on one of the Clipper 70s, to expose the watches to extreme temperature changes and salt water. The condition of the watches were recorded by stills in each port, and the environment they survived in on board captured by video.
• Each of the twelve Clipper Race skippers wore an Elliot Brown Clipper Race watch, creating not only a great test to prove the durability of the watch, but it also enabled powerful images to be captured.
