Watches and Cars: A Timeless Connection

Watches and Cars: A Timeless Connection

In the world of luxury and performance, two iconic symbols often stand out: the precision of a finely crafted watch and the power of a beautifully engineered car. This unique pairing has a rich history, intertwining the realms of horology and automotive design in ways that captivate enthusiasts from both camps.

The Historical Ties Between Watches and Cars

The relationship between watches and cars dates back to the early 20th century. As cars became more prevalent, there was a growing need for precise timekeeping to aid navigation and ensure reliability. This was especially critical during races, where every second counted. Car dashboards soon featured chronographs, allowing drivers to monitor their speeds and lap times with unprecedented accuracy. This development led to the creation of specialised watches designed for drivers, known - unsurprisingly - as "driver's watches," which combined robust construction with high legibility and precision.

Over the years, the collaboration between watchmakers and automotive companies has only deepened. Both industries share a passion for engineering excellence, aesthetics, and innovation. This shared ethos has given rise to numerous collaborations, limited editions, and special models, celebrating the craftsmanship and technological advancements in both fields.

Amidst the excitement, keen observers might have noticed a particular brand of timepiece making its subtle yet significant presence felt. Seeing a classic Newmark alongside the striking modern design of the Cillindri made for special viewing and the pictures from the night do not do either full justice.
