Last weekend, from the 4th to the 7th September 2014, the city of Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva became the capital of motor sport and elegance when it played host to around a hundred extraordinary classic cars.

Over the 3 days, a multitude of legendary cars gathered in Switzerland, among them an Alfa Romeo 1924 that once belonged to Enzo Ferrari, another Alfa Romeo owned by Fangio, the 1951 world champion, a March 712M 1971 belonging to the Frank Williams Team, and five F1 Ferraris including those of Michael Schumacher, who finished 3rd in the 2005 Championship, and Nikki Lauda, World Champion in 1977, the chassis 0888 owned by Jacky Ickx – the only one in the world - and the F1 of Alain Prost, who achieved the historic 100th Ferrari victory in a Grand Prix.

Friday resounded to the roar of the classics during the historic Montreux Rally in Gruyères via the Col des Mosses and the Hongrin dam and arriving at the Château de Chillon, a wonderful setting in which to showcase the cars. On Saturday, the famous "Revival Montreux Caux" followed a sporty 4-kilometre course covering a 900-metre altitude difference (!), followed by an elegance contest, and on Sunday, an incredible circuit was reproduced on the streets of the city in tribute to the famous "1934-2014 Historic 80th Grand Prix", which saw a crowd of 30,000 turn out to admire the F1s and other sports cars.

The Montreux Grand Prix also saw the largest ever gathering of Ferraris in Switzerland, including a model belonging to Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot and President of the Watch Division of the LVMH Group. A magnificent event with which Hublot was extremely proud to be associated. No-one has forgotten the glory days of the Montreux Grand Prix, such as the 1934 edition with its merciless struggle between Philippe Etancellin at the wheel of his Maserati and the Alfa Romeos of the stable managed by a certain Enzo Ferrari.

In tribute to the past, but also with an eye on the challenges of the future, the organisers of the Montreux Grand Prix, along with its President, Ezio Vialmin, and its committee, also welcomed the most decorated driver in motor sport (all disciplines) and 9 times World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb, as well as the former owner of Citroën Sport, vice-World Rally Champion alongside Jean Todt, Guy Fréquelin, Honorary Chairman of the Geneva Motor Show, Claude Sage, and the former F1 driver Erik Comas, who was behind the wheel of a Lancia Stratos in Hublot colours.
