When it comes to truly out of this world supercars, only a handful of models make the cut; there?s Koenigsegg?s One:1, Pagani?s Huayra and of course Bugatti?s Veyron Super Sport, just to name a few. Gorgeous, aerodynamic lines combined with raw, unadulterated power make these high-speed machines simply irresistible, although for many the closest they will ever get to one is on display at an auto show. Extremely limited production numbers combined with astronomical price tags ensure that these cars remain the exclusive playthings of the super-rich and even then there are no guarantees.
These supercars are not just sources of great envy though, they can also be sources of great inspiration, which brings us to today?s timepiece; the Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Super Sport. No prizes for guessing which car in the above list was the catalyst for this miniature mechanical beauty, if the name didn?t already give it away, the unique case design certainly would. Like the car itself this is not a watch for the faint hearted. Parmigiani x Bugatti
If you?re not already familiar with the Parmigiani name ? and I?m sure a few of you won?t be ? check out this article I wrote a few weeks ago, which details a bit of the history of the brand and why you should be paying them some attention. Although the company has produced several notable timepieces in its relatively short history none have achieved quite the same level of fame as the exceptional Bugatti series, and with good reason.
