BIG BANG FERRARI KING GOLD CARBON
Do you consider yourself a tifosi? Prove your love for the cavallino rampante with the Big Bang Ferrari King Gold Carbon from Hublot - Ferrari’s official watchmaking partner. The large 45mm watch’s highlight must be the special bezel, which is crafted out of carbon fiber and decorated with 18k red gold occlusions. The prancing horse at 9 o’clock reminds you of your allegiance to the most successful team in Formula One. $63,600
CHOPARD SUPERFAST POWER CONTROL
With a name like Superfast, there’s no mistaking the inspiration behind these watches. The Chopard Superfast Power Control is remarkable for its power reserve indicator at nine o’clock, which has been deliberately and tastefully designed to look like the fuel gauge in a car. Inside beats a thoroughly modern chronometer-certified in-house movement with a power reserve of 60 hours. $13,200
ORIS WILLIAMS VALTTERI BOTTAS LIMITED EDITION
Just like a Formula One car, the Oris Williams Valtteri Bottas Limited Edition watch has been designed to be light. So it should be no surprise to find that the watch has been constructed using materials from racing. The entire case and dial is crafted out of carbon ceramic fiber, while the case back, crown, and chronograph pushers, are made out of super lightweight titanium. $6,200
IWC INGENIEUR CHRONOGRAPH EDITION “LEWIS HAMILTON”
What would a watch designed by a Formula One racer look like? Well, you are looking at it. The Ingenieur Chronograph Edition “Lewis Hamilton” is a limited edition watch designed with inputs from reigning Formula One champion, Lewis Hamilton. The watch features a carbon fiber dial with zirconium oxide screw heads, and the chronograph complication with a flyback function. $20,500
SEVENFRIDAY V3/01
The V-series is the latest collection from SevenFriday, a relatively young company that has been making headlines for affordable and interestinglooking timepieces. The V3/01 has an attractive layered dial featuring carbon fiber, and the red minute hand looks like it came straight out of the tachometer of a race car. $2,088
