Car-Clock by John-Mikael Flaux
There is an inextricable link between cars and watches. It isn't as simple as saying that People who love watches also love cars or the other way around, there is something more to it. Something deeper. Perhaps it is the immediate sense of belonging that a fine watch or fine car brings out in its owners? You fall in love with one brand and that's it. Once you join the team you stay with the team for a long, long time. It isn't about brand loyalty – people switch brands; billions of marketing dollars are spent to ensure we do. It is about the thing; the watch, the car, music, a whole list of things that enter our lives that we continue to obsess over until we are too old and too grey to obsess anymore. It could be Ferrari, as easily as it could be Audemars Piguet, as easily as it could be Manchester United.I'm in love with my carI've already written about how my first car represented my first taste of freedom. My first love affair with cars occurred at around the same time as my f

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Single Flying Tourbillon (Specs & Price)
What happens when legends collide? Especially when those legends are in different fields. Last year, Roger Dubuis, Lamborghini and Pirelli joined forces, and their unique partnership created the racing-inspired Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon. The skeleton timepiece was not only a technically impressive watch with twin tourbillons front and centre, it also sported a rubber strap created from a Pirelli tyre that was actually used in a professional race. The watch helped connect the Roger Dubuis brand with high-performance motorsports and provided both racing fans and watch enthusiasts with an exciting and exclusive product. Roger Dubuis and Pirelli are back again this year with a new Excalibur Spider Pirelli, but this time with just one single flying tourbillon.Immediately after the Monaco F1 Grand Prix earlier in May, Roger Dubuis introduced the second season of the Excalibur Spider Pirelli with a digital launch. The strap, once again created from a race-driven Pirell
