The art of fine car making has a lot in parallel with fine watch making

At the base there are the similar components between among watches as do cars that share the same components. The real work is in the hours of work it take to get it to a level of detail that is above and beyond.
In the case of custom cars they are bespoke builds that can take thousands of hours of hand w.ork to bring out the most minute details mostly lost to the average viewer.
The same details in fine watchmaking where every component is polished and meticulously assembled to a level that is almost invisible to the eye. When both surfaces are polished even though unseen. With automobiles there is a term called clocking which the alignment of the screw heads so they are harmoniously in balance. The right amount of threads visible all facing the same direction.
As you can see from this chassis which will mostly not be seen after the complete assembly but greatly appreciated by the trained eye.
Enjoy.
