Fuerza y belleza, sincronizadas
Fortaleza por debajo, sonrisa por encima: Nadadoras de nado sincronizado Joelle Peschl y Vivienne Koch
Les dimos a las nadadoras de nado sincronizado, Joelle Peschl y Vivienne Koch, nuestros nuevos relojes I.N.O.X. V para que los probaran, y pasamos un día con ellas mientras entrenaban para su próxima competencia internacional.
Es difícil no dejarse inspirar por estas dos jóvenes mujeres llenas de motivación. Su desempeño es una combinación magistral de resistencia, belleza, sincronía y precisión. Tanto Vivienne como Joelle entendieron de inmediato la conexión entre el nado sincronizado y nuestros recientemente renovados relojes I.N.O.X. V: “Veo este reloj como nuestro deporte: la fortaleza está toda debajo del agua y la estética y las sonrisas están por encima de la superficie”, dice Vivienne. “De la misma manera, la fortaleza del reloj está por debajo de la esfera y la belleza del reloj está por encima”.
This is exactly why we asked them to test our I.N.O.X V watches. We wanted to see if it could keep up with them both during training and in their everyday life. It’s one of our toughest watches – made to resist any kind of daily adventures, it has to endure the strict and severe homologation tests as defined by Victorinox – but it’s also one of our most beautiful, thanks to its strong, feminine style.
Both Vivienne and Joelle are completely focused on their goal. For them, training eight hours a day is just part of the commitment they have made to their sport. “I’ve been in the water for so many years that it feels like land to me,” says Joelle. “I usually feel more comfortable in the water – except when it’s cold!”
Their training demands strength, flexibility, artistic expression and especially mental fortitude. As Vivienne says: “Improving when you’re already at a high level is really hard.” But they know that’s what it’s all about. Even once you’ve reached the top, finding ways to go further is what makes the difference between really good and great.
This attitude closely mirrors our own approach. We spent time considering how the original I.N.O.X. V could be improved. The end result? Weight and thickness have been reduced by one third, creating a watch that is lighter and more feminine, but still retains all its toughness.
The fact that it’s lighter means it fits perfectly into Vivienne and Joelle’s day, whether on land or on water. Both swimmers appreciate that it’s water-resistant, because then they can wear the watch all day. From the moment they get up, in and out of the pool, to when they go out in the evening – and look great the whole time.
So was the I.N.O.X. V able to keep up with them? “Definitely,” says Joelle.
