Hello all,

As a lifelong motorsport fan, and more recent convert to the world of watches, I had the chance to combine both passions in an online magazine I edit.

See what you think of my selection:

The Ferrari selection is weird when there is the Panerai and Girard-Perregaux Ferrari watches.





The VC driving watch 8s very classy

Nice list and article.
To be honest any of the Ferrari watches including GP and Panerai are little more than sequential licensing agreements and didn’t really add much to either brand. Cheapest used Panerais you can buy these days are often the Ferrari ones.

Some of the JLC "Amvox" (Aston Martin) watches are cool. Thankfully the branding is mainly on the back.

Nice article. I agree with your selection although I think I might have sneaked the Chopard Jacky Ickx in there somewhere.

Wrong Chopard, should be this one.



There are also several Schumacher special editions of the Speedmaster. I have this one.



This one is nice too. I'm off to see what they go for.

Should have had a nice Citizen Walter Wolf Chronograph in there as well.

Coblor is another brand to look at for a motorsport theme- Note the site is in German but there's an English option in the top right corner

REC watches probably worth a look. Don't know much about them other than they build watches out of salvage cars.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Timex F1 Rallye



Possibly the cheapest watch in my (very) modest collection but it still makes me smile.

Picked it up for pocket money and it actually keeps surprisingly good time!

Note to self: really must give it a re-lume…
