I assume it’s an auto and winds when you go round corners or over bumps?

I was in a DS7 recently, and it had a BRM clock in it.



Easy money for watch brands.

Let Mercedes, Citroen etc make cheap plastic clocks with your name on for their cars, and they give you free money.

The audio mob sold out some time back, so not a huge shock to see others do the same. As has been said, easy money for a bit of general advice and a heap of brand placement (free advertising).

I'm surprised IWC allow their name to be put on something that plastic-y looking

Reminds me of this:



110k option.

That said, the AMG/Citroen clock's don't stand up up close. Guess you can't have a GBP 100 clock in a mass produced car...

As distasteful as that Breitling is, at least it's a diamond riddled tourbillon rather than some plastic market affair

yes As I said.

It is, however, a +100k option hehe, I bet the OP wouldn't have the "IWC" if it added another 50% to the cost of his car.

I fully agree its a bit tacky - so don't hold back on the comments !

Yes also agree I wouldn't want to pay any more to have the clock then a generic clock. Its looks ok but so do most other car clocks.

Didn't want to berate the clock but it really doesn't look like it should cost more than 50p to produce, shame IWC sells out like that.
Other than that, what is the car exactly?
I'm guessing an E-class?

yes E63 - lots of bits in the car as eye candy so it matches those I supose. Im ok with a bit eye candy in the car but it does to me lower the "value " of a proper IWC watch. Would like an IWC watch but the car one does lower the brand I think.
