Parmigiani Bugatti Tourbillon Watch With Galibier Car
Luxist recently covered the new Bugatti 16C Galibier ultra luxury sedan that the car world is so very excited about. An interesting element of the new auto was a partnership with luxury watch maker Parmigiani to include a watch with the car. I should say that Bugatti and Parmigiani have been working together since 2004, when Parmigiani released its Type 370 Bugatti watch that was avant garde to say the least.
Parmigiani has recently released real images of the Bugatti Tourbillon watch in action. The flex-use mechanical timepiece is made to: mount in Galibier's dashboard, attach to a wrist strap, function as a pocket watch, and also be docked in a desk clock unit. Little else is know about the timepiece, except that it is handsome to behold and just about simple enough to be a car clock. The watch has a tourbillon complication as well as a power reserve indicator. My understanding is that the idea is to include the Parmigiani Bugatti Tourbillon watch with the Galibier 16C car. For the over $1 million that the 16C is likely to go for, this included watch is no major practical surprise. When driving a car like this, you want to be sure that even the clock in your car is worth more than most other vehicles on the road around you.

That's incredible... Hopefully it doesn't turn into something like disappearing Ferrari luggage for 2nd owners.
Watch looks fantastic.

I could see that becoming a very real problem. Then again, so few cars will be built that maybe it won't be an issue?

Very cool on all fronts, but I can't imagine getting into the car, and taking the watch off my wrist to drive it, then put it back on while I'm leaving and dock it on my desk...etc, etc. One of those crazy novelties (especially with a tourbillon!) that is not actually practical as a car watch, but I guess what about a Bugatti is "practical"

It seems like one step above strapping your Casio to your steering wheel...Who would take the time, really???
Imagine the first time you went to look at the time, and was like>>>> DAMN, I left my watch on the dash!
Great looking watch, cheesy concept!
