Cars and the Watch Connection
Great article on why many who love watches, love cars. How about you?
I wonder how many here have seen and enjoy this connection. Both cars and watches work for me for these same reasons. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/wh...much-crossover |

My E63 M6 and E24 630CSi would be my favs, tho my E30 and E46 are right there too
For watches im a fan of history of mechanical watches and in particular sports diving, so I have several in the collection as im not a flipper. Ill always luv my 16610 submariner, but its retired as I enjoy larger watches, so I have several Panerai, my 320 being my fav when its not the summer 🤣 How bout u? |

Duh?
Athletic people loves competitive sports. Bankers love money Gear heads love cars and mechanical things I would be more impressed with a research that suggests car enthusiasts love Scotch and Cuban cigars. |

wait....I love competitive sports, money, cars, watches, tools, whiskey/whisky, and excellent cigars. Oh and art, the female body, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not sure what that says about me!?
m630 Watches: Tag, Omega, Breitling (chronos with leather bands); cars: BMW z3/4 and most M series but general German craftsmanship; I have restored many British cars of the 60's and 70' which I loved. |

if you like watching YouTube videos of transmission and engine builds you might like seeing a watch disassembled, cleaned/repaired. |
