Mechanical watches + cars
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 share the watches you love to take driving with you, the watches that inspire your automotive passions, the high performance machines on your wrist.
... and being the PuristS Automotive Forum, the cars or bikes you share them with.

This combo will do me no harm
at least I hope so :) Now I only need to get the vehicle Best D ...
You will spend more time underneath it...
...than inside it ;-) , but what a great car.
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 !
C63 ... one of the best funcars i've ever driven ... . :-) ...
Thanks!
One of my favorite engines of all time. That engine is just amazing... I really like that car. A lot!
Gordini ...
... from the 60ies ... haven't we done this last year ? I remember i posted a load of pics with cars and watches (actually either my Speedy or the LLD) ... So this time i will go for more playful pictures ... Filip ...
R8 Gordini is super, but...
sometime I prefer a slower route. How about a nap after a long drive? ...
LOL, Isetta with a camper ...
I prefer to sit in the cabin ... enough room :-) ... as you can see ! Bim ...
Proof Isetta is more fun than M5 !
First: My doctor preparing his drink .. don't ask me what the heck that is :-) Second: Look at the car .... looks nice ... but to have fun you'll have to be in motion ... Third ... just look at the Isetta and the fun commences .... :-) santé ! Bim ...
Cosy indeed ...
... but you have to be carefull because in case of an accident it coul get waaaaay too cosy :-) ... i don't think it would get a lot of stars in the NCAP tests :-) LOOOOL ... . Bim
I guess with side doors ...
... i probably would never get in ... luckily because i'm 100 % sure i wouldn't get out :-) .... imagine that :-) !!!
How is it that Euro garages are so clean
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!) ...
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...
my shots
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
A photo I've posted before...
...but since both my "toy" cars are still sleeping, waiting for spring, it's the only watch/car photo available today: And I know these aren't watches, but they do serve a time-keeping function: ...
Just love this shot

Steering wheel on wrong side
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 :-)
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
An oldie
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...
Would love to see...
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...
It even displays your heart rate!
:-) Cool dashboard and great photo. Challenging to get the focus and balance just right inside a car for these watch photos. Nicely done. Andrew
