Watches Of Switzerland Hudson Yards Hits The Road With These Auto Inspired Watches

Another exceptional chronograph on display at Hudson Yards is the TAG Heuer Monza. Created in 1976 to celebrate F1 legend Niki Lauda's first world championship with Ferrari. While TAG Heuer is no longer the official timekeeper for the Scuderia, the legend of Monza lives on with this all-black HEUER chrono. This reissue has modern touches such as SuperLuminova markers and robust grade 5 titanium case. Priced at $5,450, the TAG Heuer 40th Anniversary Monza looks as at home on your wrist as it does taking five Gs at Monza's famous Parabolica.
 

Here's a fun fact, did you know that TAG Heuer was at one-time official engine supplier to Red Bull Racing's F1 team? It’s true! For years, Red Bull used TAG Heuer branded Renault engines. TAG Heuer’s close allegiance with the world of racing, especially IndyCar and F1 (read HERE) continues to this day. This Formula 1 Aston Martin Quartz Chronograph is the most accessibly priced automotive-inspired watch on display at Watches of Switzerland. At $1,650, it's a chance to strap on the watch version of Red Bull's Aston Martin F1 car.
 

Newly independent Grand Seiko is taking New York Auto Week by storm with their partnership with Nissan. At a splashy nineties themed launch party, the Japanese brand unveiled a special Spring Drive chronograph made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Nissan GT-R, particularly this year’s Skyline 2000 GT-R.
 

Sized at 46.4mm and encased in high-intensity titanium inner case and ceramic outer case, this new model represents the very best in Japanese craftsmanship. Nissan's storied history in sports car racing is on full display via the bright silvery white dial and flows through the white/blue racing stripe strap. A brilliant partnership between the two Japanese giants. Limited to 200 pieces and priced at $21,000. And now on display at Watches of Switzerland Hudson Yards!
 

It wouldn’t be a party without a gaggle of Prancing Horses! Hublot’s partnership with Ferrari is stronger than ever (read HERE) and Watches of Switzerland will have a bevy of Hublot x Ferrari timepieces on display. While not all of Hublot's 2019 Ferrari pieces will be shown, a healthy number of Big Bang references and the eponymous MP-05 LaFerrari will be on hand. Hublot will be the centerpiece of Watches of Switzerland's Hudson Yards entrance.
 

Visitors will be able to experience a Ferrari F1 steering wheel console, view immersive graphics, and experience the wide variety of Hublot x Ferrari pieces. From the $345,000 MP-05 LaFerrari to a Big Bang designed in collaboration with Scuderia Ferrari, there will be plenty on offer at Watches of Switzerland Hudson Yards.
 

If that weren’t enough, how about two British brands colliding on an automotive project? That's precisely what the folks at Bremont and Jaguar have done. A British icon (Jaguar) meets the always endeavoring English brothers of Bremont. The result is the astounding Bremont MKII and MKIII.
 

Finally, we come to a bit of horological ephemera. The L’Epee Time Fast D8 is a limited-edition desk clock which is sure to excite auto and watch enthusiasts. This fully functional clock can be driven (by hand) across your desk, or any surface and the wheels actually add function. Driving in reverse will wind the eight-day power reserve.
 

Time is displayed via the hour and minute wheels positioned at the midway point of the car. The piece is available is a wide variety of color and decal combinations. L'Epee will only be producing 100 of these units and pricing is on request. So, give it a spin at Watches of Switzerland Hudson Yards!
