Its tourbillon carries a 60 hour power reserve, its capacity displayed in a charge indicator atop the watch’s face.

The timepiece is to be made in an extremely limited series of just 150 pieces, that number being a commemorative nod to the 150th birthday of Chopard.

Its name, Agera, in Swedish translates to the verb “to act” and was picked because it “symbolizes the Koenigsegg philosophy”.

The name also comes from Greek word Ageratos, which in ancient Greek means “ageless”.
