If you re one of those people who inexplicably always seems to run late, a 300-mph Bugatti isn t a bad choice of car to make up some of that lost time. But perhaps a safer and more legal means of getting where you need to be promptly is to actually check the time.
Bugatti agrees and has just revealed a line of smartwatches developed together with VIITA Watches from Austria. As with cars such as the Chiron, these modern timepieces represent the absolute pinnacle of craftsmanship, materials, and technology, much in the way Rolls-Royce overengineers its luxury accessories. For the average Bugatti customer, this premium watch - handmade from more than 1,000 individual parts - is another way to let everyone else know that you ve made it. Or maybe just to let them know that the board meeting is running 10 minutes late.

Richard Mille has just revealed its latest watch that’s part of its ongoing partnership with McLaren. This new watch is named the RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon and was made to honor McLaren’s fastest hypercar produced the Speedtail.
This watch is the culmination of 8,600 hours of movement development, 18 months of case design, and numerous shock tests and prototypes. Salvador Arbona, movement technical director, comments, “The complexity of the components, the multitude of details and, above all, the attention applied to the finishing place the RM 40-01 firmly at the peak of Swiss-made watches. The rims, for example, are buff-polished and the progressive angles – among other elements – and the bevellings are gradual hand-polished.
