The Ultimate Automotive-Themed Watches
It starts like this...
Gearheads have an almost irrational attraction to fine timepieces; there's something about wearing a minuscule mechanical movement that captures the imaginations (and wallets) of countless car fiends.
Perhaps it's the wonderment of miniaturization, or the way a ticking watch serves as a perfect sub-scale metaphor for a pulsing engine and whirring gearbox. Whatever the reason, the car-watch connection is as old as the automobile itself, a bond that has long inspired high-end watchmakers to craft lavish homages to the four-wheeled world.
While a functional mechanical watch can be had for under $200 (see virtually any modern Seiko), the pantheon of ultra-high-end wristwatches explores extreme engineering, unrestrained styling, and unparalleled exclusivity that can cost as much as a Paris pied-à-terre.
That said, these 10 automotive-themed watches are among the crème de la crème of wrist candy that feature just as much inventive thinking and brain-bending design as you'll find in a seven-figure hypercar.
