Cars and watches part 2

Bugatti 


Bugatti teamed up with  watch designers Parmigiani Fleurier for their watches. These unique timepieces are not for sale but are given as gifts to owners of supercar Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron. The futuristic design was in fact not designed by Parmigiani, he bought them from independent watchmaker Vincent Berard. The vertical dial is meant to allow drivers to read the time without taking their hands off the wheel. Personally I find it quite amusing that a car going for over a million dollars does not have a clock, but anyway, maybe that was the reason Bugatti commissioned these time pieces, due to a design flaw?




















Ferrari 

Originally Ferrari watches were created by luxury watch-maker Girard-Perregaux, but Ferrari were unhappy as they wanted more watches, more often. They then teamed up with Italian company Panerai, a member of the Richemont Luxury Group. Since then the Ferrari brand of watches has florished, bringing out watches of all classes with their well known Chronograph range still being the most popular.













I am a huge fan of these watches. I think they are classy and very much Ferrari.
















Lamborghini

Now here we have a wonderful family range. The timepieces for Lamborghini are in fact designed and produced by  Tonino Lamborghini , who is the son of  Ferruccio Lamborghini, founder of Automobili Lamborghini. Their range contains designs that are very car orientated as well as some classic gentlemanly designs.
