When do car watches become too gimmicky? - BMWBLOG (blog)
Though, I find that there are two types of watch fans, when it comes to cars and watches. This particular Blancpain, the L-Evolution Super Trofeo, has been designed after the Super Trofeo Lamborghini racing car. With an array of exotic automotive materials like a carbon fiber case and carbon fiber face, as well as an alcantara in the strap, the Blancpain Super Trofeo looks a bit much. Blancpain is actually a quality watchmaker with a respected history, but this watch is far from anything you’d expect from such a reputable watch maker. Now if this kind of watch is your cup of tea, that’s fine, but to the other kind of watch person, this L-Evolution Super Trofeo is just far too gimmicky. Breitling for Bentley Supersports Chronograph. Now, on the other side of things, you have the Breitling for Bentley Supersports Chronograph. Designed as a tribute Bentley’s Continental GT Supersports, Bentley’s fastest vehicle, this Chronograph has some actual automotive charm to it and it’s because it’s subtle. From a distance, this Supersports Chrono looks like any other Breitling chronograph. The Supersports Chronograph is an attractive watch with just a few subtle hints at its automotive pedigree.
