Bugatti has become synonymous with speed and it would be folly for someone who has the rare chance of driving a Bugatti not to match his wristwatch with the name of the car. Here are some interesting pieces that might be the answer, courtesy of Parmigiani.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Vitesse limited edition features exquisite timepieces, with titanium cases, measuring 36 mm x 50 mm x 22 mm, embellished with 6 AR-coated sapphire crystals. They come with 10 meters of water resistance alongside Dynamometric crowns finished in 18-carat white gold with Carnelian cabochon or Lapis-Lazuli cabochon.
Inside, Parmigiani’s Swiss hand-wound caliber PF372 with 40 jewels powers the watches, working at 21,600 vibrations per hour and boasting with 10 days power reserves. The mechanism comprises a total of 333 parts and has been nicely trimmed with a Cotes de Geneva decoration. As for the timepieces’ main plates, they are sand-blasted, hand-bevelled and circular-grained.
The dials of these exquisite pieces are garnished with either orange or white Texalium, a web-like structure of fiber glass, wrapped in thin aluminium, ensuring superior reflectiveness compared to the carbon fiber used for the Bugatti Super Sport. The dials also feature polished EB appliqués, Delta-shaped hands with luminescent coating and polished black gold Bugatti Vitesse appliqués.
As for the polished straps, they were crafted from alligator skin, by Hermes, and feature titanium folding buckles.
