About the Book

A revised edition of the first monograph of its kind to celebrate the two great inventions of the 20th century – the mass-produced automobile and the wristwatch – featuring a stunning and thoughtfully curated collection of over 85 watches inspired by automobiles, motorcycles, racing and racers. This lavish volume is a fascinating exploration of the cultural meaning of the interplay between two kinds of beautifully made machines. It presents a detailed look at the development and history of timepieces influenced by automotive design, made in direct partnership with automotive firms, and those which were historically important presences in the world of motorsports. While covering more than a century of automotive-inspired timepieces from 1903 to the present, Drive Time focuses primarily on the iconic watches of the mid-20th century, such as the Rolex Daytona and Heuer Carrera and Monaco, up through the current category timepieces such as those found in the Chopard Mille Miglia, Breitling by Bentley, Porsche Design, Hublot Ferrari, Jaeger-LeCoultre Aston Martin and IWC Mercedes-Benz AMG collections. Informative, insightful and entertaining Drive Time is the perfect anthology for watch lovers and car nuts alike.
