Look at the above picture, can you tell what it is at first glance?
A car engine? That’s pretty close! But er… you are wrong!
This year, the Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier stunned the world with its monster creation – the Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti 370 watch.
The Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti 370 is designed to commemorate Bugatti’s release of their now legendary Veyron super-car.
The front of the innovative watch looks like a auto engine. As we all know engine is widely regarded as the heart of a car, it makes perfect sense for the watch designers to house the the heart of the watch – the transversal movement- in the engine-like cylinder. The movement is organized on a horizontal axis instead of the traditional vertical axis.
But how does the watch tell time?
Although it looks like a complicated high-tech gadget at first sight, actually it really simplify the way how people watch time.
Here’s the profile of the watch. The watch face is located at one side of the watch next to the movement. Just imagine, if you wear such watch on your wrist, what will happen when you check the time on your watch?
Yes, you don’t even have to move or turn your wrist to see the time. The watch dial is almost faced to you directly always. Especially when you are driving a car, if you wear the Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti 370 watch, you don’t need to raise your hand, or lean your body ahead to see the time. All you have to do is to quickly move your eyeball, then you’ll know the time. It’s more safe and make you more concentrated. What a design!
It’s a interesting invention. But it may also take a while for you to get used to wearing such watch since you always raise your hand to see the watch all the time.
Actually only few will have such trouble of getting used to this new watch. It is said, only 150 pieces of Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti 370 watches will be made every year. The good news is that the high demands of Parmigiani watches drive manufacturers to produce high quality Parmigiani replica. You can spend about $100 to get the Swiss replica at www.WatchesLux.com now.
