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.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Wow oh wow oh wow! This has got to be the sexiest Ferrari yet! I have always been a Ferrari fan but this car really rocked my world. This is definately a poster car for the next generation of motor-heads. Introduced at the Geneva show as the fastest Ferrari yet at a whopping 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds, 0-124mph in 8.5, and a top speed of 211mph, this beauty is set to take the supercar market by storm. This car is all about speed, even those sexy sleek lines are designed to direct air from the hood down the sides of the car to increase downforce.

This is not so much a blog as tribute to a gorgeous Supercar. 
The Berlinetta has replaced the 599 GTB Fiorano.
