The recently unveiled supercar has just broken the world speed record at 267 mph (430 km/h), all while Bugatti's test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel wore Parmigiani's latest creation, the Bugatti Super Sport wristwatch. In fact, the brand brags about this by calling it "The Fastest Watch in the World."
Parmigiani’s new timepiece is, in fact, am evolution of the Bugatti Type 370 watch, bornrich.org reports. Its case resembles the standard Parmigiani curved tear drop lug, and it does have a set of bending lugs in that traditional form.
As the brand describes the watch, it is an outlet for them to be a little bit wild and crazy, and play with form and aesthetic.
The partially carbon fiber dial of the watch has been placed perpendicular to the axis by integrating a system of double pinions with bevel gearing that allow for a 90 degree angle transfer of energy (a world premiere).
The Parmigiani calibre PF 372 movement has a full 10 days of power reserve with a power indicator on the top of the case. The movement, made of 372 parts, is revealed through six sapphire crystals. The bridges flaunt gold black, côtes de Genève and satin finishes.
The straps are courtesy of Hermes Paris, while the Bugatti logo is on the dial and the Parmigiani name is on the side at 9 o’clock. The watch dial is black and orange to reminisce one of the popular color schemes for the car.
Available starting early 2011 and priced at $259,000, the watch will see a very limited production run of 30 pieces, each coming in an 18k white gold case.
