Isle of Man TT Pays Homage to World's Fastest Motorcycle Race

If you’re looking for a watch that’s as cool and sporty as your favorite ride, look no further than Wryst Timepiece’s Isle of Man TT series.

It’s a unspoken truth in our hobby: people who love high-performance automobiles seem to gravitate toward high-end watches. It makes sense, if you think about it: like the engines in our sports cars, watches use intricate mechanisms to perform at the highest possible level.

Most of the higher-end watches we lust after have elegant designs that go well with a suit and tie, and they’re the sort of thing that we’d be afraid of scratching while working on cars in the garage. That’s an especially valid concern considering that many of these watches cost in the thousands of dollars.

Enter Wryst Timepieces. They sell rugged sports watches, with precision Swiss movement in a durable scratch-resistant stainless steel case, for well under $1,000. The ones we’re looking at today are the Isle of Man TT series of watches, which take inspiration from – you guessed it – the grueling motorcycle race of the same name.

The special-edition watch’s chronograph design lends itself to the motorcycle racing theme. The face evokes a high-performance sportbike’s gauge cluster, and the subtle Isle of Man TT logos throughout the face, case, and band offer additional high-performance street cred.

The watch is available in varying combinations of red, yellow, and black, meaning that you could easily color-coordinate your watch to whatever exotic you’re taking out of the garage that day. At this price, you might as well buy two – one for your yellow GT3, and a red one for your 488 Italia.
