Wrist Watches from Famous Auto Brands

The tradition of producing wrist watches under auto brand name starts in the early 20 th century when the first wrist watch has appeared. Many legendary car manufacturers produce their own line of watches dedicated to anniversaries and special occasions in the life of brands. Most auto makers have contracts with famous watch companies and produce watches with their labels. But some auto makers such as Lamborghini and Porsche prefer to have their own watch factory and produce their own wrist watches. These watches from the first sketches to design of gift packaging are entirely made by specialists of legendary auto brands. Also we recommend you to check the list of the most luxurious watch brands for men.

Objectives pursued by automakers releasing their own wrist watches are also different, but above all it is brand advertising. Watch collections include a huge range of watches starting from low-cost watches worth several hundred dollars to luxury limited edition models by very high price. Some of these watches are available with gold or platinum cases – by the customer’s choice, and some are even impossible to buy for the reason that these watches are not for sale. Not for sale at all. This applies to wrist watches by Bugatti, which the company presents to the buyers of supercar Bugatti. In our collection we’ve assembled a collection of several tens of watches produced by ten well-known car manufacturers. Many models are equipped with a link to the official website where you can purchase them.
