Because it's pretty damn dangerous to take pictures while driving. [nt]
No message body
Not really sure the concept works so well on a rectangular case ...
But beautiful examples and shots.

That I would like to see as well :)
My initial tough was LC VC 1921 tailored to my specifications 
This Perrelet Turbine Offset with strong tuner car design elements
The offset really does make it so much easier to read while keeping your hands on the steering wheel. Perrelet Turbine Offset Limited Edition.
Here's one in situ...
Though the wearing wrist had to be moved to 12 rather than 10 on the steering wheel, to get better lighting for the shot.
A couple more, including the Perrelet Turbine
The Turbine in action in the 2CV (rotated 60 degrees)
The Omega Chronostop (rotated 90 degrees)
The Seiko Speedmaster (what were they thinking?)

Would anyone be very upset if I suggest the VC 1921 wasn't a "driver's watch" at all?
When the original 1921 model with crown at 1 o'clock was presented to the American market, it was described as an oversized-display watch for right-handed wear; it had an enamel dial with large military-style radium numerals. The 1921 followed a similar design from 1916 with the crown canted to 11 o'clock; both positions felt necessary to adapt a lepine pendant-watch movement to the cushion-shaped design (they would repurpose unused lepine movements in the 30s as well, with crown at 12 o'clock). V&C made a real "driver's watch" for both men and women, with the case shaped to sit on the inside of the wrist which allowed the wearer to view the time without removing their hand from the steering wheel.
+1
especially wearing one's watch on the inside of the wrist. Today's wheels are circa 380mm...the older, the bigger. hence more reason for the inside
