A teaser until June. High price to match their cars. I like the machine-turned dial.

In case you're not familiar with Spyker automobiles.

Looks like that's going to be a VERY interesting watch line Tim !
Especially if the rest of the watches look anything like this one you
are showing. Spyker to launch watch line. Icon_cyclops I like the decoration on the dial of this one, plus there
seem to be some unique rings or something, going over the chapter
ring in areas. Those hands are neat as well, and how about that
crown ?! Nice find Tim ! Thanks for the links also !

It's a nice idea using those elements in the watch design imho ! Mainly because it looks
good, but also because it's something a bit different also ! Spyker to launch watch line. 803574

Spyker (as a company) started life as an aircraft manufacturer. Most of their design cues (like the toggle switches on the dash) come from old aircraft. That towel rack is a linkage for the transmission, attached to trans handle, to engage reverse, park, and "D" for paddle shifters.

I googled them afterwards. Their cars look very modern and sleek on the outside but the interior is just funky. I'm a pilot and can appreciate some of the interior styling cues but its just such a contrast to the cars outward design and functionality. A modern high powered exotic sports car with a vintage interior, if you will. Not at all what I expected seeing the initial pictures in the thread.
