What is a luxury men’s watch? Some would argue it is “A sports car for the wrist.” The watch movement, is, after all, akin to a car’s engine; the watch case to a chassis. Meanwhile, both luxury cars and luxury watches are judged not solely on design but also on performance. What’s more, the fact that even the most basic automatic watches on the market have see-through case backs is down to the same reason Ferrari’s V8s and Lamorghini’s V10s are proudly visible just behind the cockpit.
The watch industry has long recognised the link between performance cars and mechanical watches and has tried to capitalise on it in some form or another. This continues today throughout both industries.
All of our favorite luxury watch manufacturers have teamed up with luxury car manufacturers. Some of our favorites? Breitling and Bentley, Tag Heuer and Porsche, Tag Heuer and Mercedes, Pannerai and Ferarri…. There is a timeless partnership between Swiss Watches and luxury cars. Long may it continue.
