A dream that takes to the road.
When a Volvo 240 nicknamed LOVLOV fails its technical inspection, the logical decision would be to part with it. Too expensive to repair. But for Robin De Nys, co-founder of Ponctuel Watches , abandoning it was out of the question. He then decided to offer it one last adventure: crossing Africa , the continent that has always fascinated him.
93 days. 25,000 km. 19 countries.
With LOVLOV proudly adorned with the Ponctuel name on its doors, and the very first Ponctuel Auriga Beige on its wrist, Robin sets off toward the unknown. The journey becomes an unforgettable odyssey, between mechanical breakdowns, chaotic borders, corruption, but also spectacular landscapes, raw nature, and memorable encounters.
This book tells the story of this adventure mainly in images, accompanied by texts that share the feelings country by country, and the best anecdotes of this extraordinary expedition.
