Mechanical watches + cars

 
 By: AndrewD : March 14th, 2013-04:16
I know that being watch lovers we are a little biased, but to me watches and cars go together like few other passions. The precision engineering, the 'engine on the wrist', the sleek and sporty designs all contribute to a match made in heaven. So please s...  

This combo will do me no harm

Awesome cars!

C63 AMG, drool... I kind of think the GP chrono goes better with the C63 than the Journe or the Rolex. But that's my opinion. And it's not a strong preference anyways. I really like the driving feel of the new 3-series. It's perfectly grown up. And I thou... 

Specially for you Patrick !

How is it that Euro garages are so clean

 
 By: cazalea : March 18th, 2013-15:33
while those in the USA (and mine is no exception) tend to look like we are all hoarders? (not mine; this is from the web - but typical of all in my neighborhood!) ...  

I really do prefer our euro garages... And garagists...

Hmmm (thinking furiously) well, it's like this ...

At the risk of diminishing the reputation of British sports cars: The front axle CV boot split and it is throwing grease onto the inside of the wheel and wheel arch, and onto the front brake disc. I didn't want to make the 200 mile round-trip, in the rain...

Dont have any high performance car and hopefully will find mine soon, at the moment I enjoy nice sedan or SUV, which relatively easier to drive in my place's road condition. my wife's ride, the blower design as classic as the tradition. 2 German DNAs, yet...  

Amazing watches, cars and house too.

You are obviously a man of great taste! Congrats Nikolaj

Steering wheel on wrong side

 
 By: cazalea : March 19th, 2013-10:16
This incredibly lovely interior must have been assembled on a Friday afternoon, eh? Or you are in the 1/3 of the countries in the world driving on the other side? I grew up driving a lot in Tijuana where you take whichever side you want ... Cazalea ...  

Thks :-)

 
 By: Iceman : March 19th, 2013-19:25
Yes the interior is one of my favourite aspect of the panamera. I live in indonesia, a country w a thousand island, language and culture. Lovely people. And we drive on the wrong side!!!! Best Iceman

A picture I have posted before. On the way back from the AD. I recently ruined a new Camille Fournet strap when my Norton Commando (true to form) dumped all the engine oil on me. It was attached to a Rolex sea dweller - not the best of pairings with the N...

It's a 2010

 
 By: tgator96 : March 25th, 2013-09:13
Thomas, it is a 997.2. It sure is a lot of fun.

Would love to see...

 
 By: ThomasM : March 26th, 2013-11:00
some more pics when you have them. To my eyes, the GT3's are some of the best looking examples of their series. Do you track the car? Even in car crazy Los Angeles seeing a GT3 on the road is very rare, more rare than seeing Lambos and Ferraris (I realize...

:-) Cool dashboard and great photo. Challenging to get the focus and balance just right inside a car for these watch photos. Nicely done. Andrew
