Vitesse Inspires Timepiece

Supercars often inspire elegant timepieces, so it is no surprise that there is a new Bugatti watch bending time! Swiss luxury watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier fashioned the Bugatti driving watch below, mirroring the new Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse hyper machine.

Wear the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse…like a boss.

The Grand Sport Vitesse made its jaw-dropping debut at Pebble Beach this year, prompting Parmigiani to mark the occasion with the elegant watch. This year marked the 62nd annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where exotic and classic cars, items and celebrities lined every square inch of the manicured California property.

Ralph Lauren released a watch inspired by his own 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic coupe in 2011, pictured above.

Special features on the Vitesse timepiece:
• A dial setting wheel at a 90 degree angle to the movement spindle
• The legendary PF372 movement
• Titanium with a polished satin finish surface
• The dial is made from Texalium (a web of fiberglass coated with a layer of aluminum)
Parmigiani Fleurier SA was founded in Fleurier, Switzerland in 1976 and continues to craft timeless timepieces
