We all (well most of us) love cars. Cars are often also a vice of the Watch Idiot Savant. Modern cars however provide less and less reasons for opening the hood (or bonnet if you will) because more and more of the engine is hidden behind plastic panels nowadays. And if one drives an electric car there is hardly an engine to be seen at all. In general it seems like our world is becoming less and less mechanical. Hence our love for a beautiful mechanical watch movement.
So this weekend will be the WS weekend of ENGINES. I give you two options:
1. The perfect car & watch engine combo (2 pics max per entry)
2. Your favorite watch movement (1 pic max per category)
In other words: dazzle us with mechanical art!
