NFW Auto Pilot Limited Edition

I dont own this brand but i have met the owner and real cool dude...I think this watch is cool since I love skulls...

Coming out in July: Limited Edition AutoPilot, also using our Skull & Tridents artwork to commemorate our race car with iW magazine. Will be limited to 111 pieces, since that's our race car's number. All-black case/bezel/bracelet. Red sunray dial, black Skull & Tridents, with white BGW9 SuperLuminova on the hands & dial markers. Powered by the hot new Miyota 9015 automatic movement.

Very Cool watch, great job George!

I WANT THAT ONE, any idea on Costs???

would think 500-600 dollar range! Just a guess!

Thats a great question...I will email him and see what he says alan.

Here is another version..

Here is rough 2D rendering sneak peek of one of the forthcoming Limited Edition AutoPilots, commemorating the race car that NFW sponsors with iW magazine. The car number is 111, so there will be only 111 of this model made. The Skull & Tridents design on the dial is the artwork that I designed for the race car. This one will be a fully polished case, bezel, and bracelet. The black dial will have the Skull & Tridents done in a liquid metallic effect. Not a watch for the timid soul

Black dial look SICK!

VERY tempted on one of these!

Yeah it looks good but only limited to 111 pcs and thats it...I sent him a message to find out what the price is. Lets see what he says..but overall I really like this watch. Never owned one before but I hear good things about the brand and know the owner really cares about his brand and clients.

I have a 3 hand auto; great watch fro a GREAT guy! That black/red is pretty hot!

OK.....guess I gotta go against the grain on this one.....

I really like George's newer line — but the inclusion of the skull just doesn't do anything for me. My son would no doubt appreciate it, but then again, he gets his rocks off every time Uncle Sam lets him go out to the firing range and run through a couple hundred dollars' worth of 50-caliber ammo....

I know....I guess this means I'm over the friggin' hill. Next stop: the satin-lined single bed.

NFW is on fire today ! Thanks Jack ! These are all OUTSTANDING !
I think this skull theme works EXTREMELY well on these watches.
They are limited, and they just plain look TERRIFIC ! I like how
the NFW emblem is used in the skull too. That black with red dial
is scary good. However, the stainless steel with black is EXCEPTIONAL
as well ! Both of these are excellent imho !

Now that stainless with black dial does pique my interest. Unfortunately my watch fund is empty so it could be $20 and I'd be out of luck! I do like the design though.

nope

This Limited Edition Auto Pilot is DEFINITELY a winner Jack !

That's a scary good Bell & Ross too Tim ! Not that it's necessarily
the most practical, but it's still unique enough ! Unfortunately
it's way up there in price though. ..It's interesting how the skull
theme has gotten bigger over recent years.

Very cool version of the AP. I love the Red dial.

My personal opinion is the AP Skull is MUCH NICER than the B&R.

WOW, I really like that watch, even though I'm not a big fan of black IP. I own one NFW and I really would like to get an AutoPilot into the collection.

Hello Gents,

Just a little background on the Skull & Tridents artwork that appears on the dial of these L.E. AutoPilots:

Last year the editor-in-chief at iW magazine called me to see if I'd have any interest in co-sponsoring a race car with the magazine. I immediately thought it sounded like a lot of fun so I said sure! The deal was that we'd kick-in some cash to take a stock Honda Accord and do a lot of modifications on it to make it race-worthy, plus a few watches for the race officials and for our team. I didn't want to just put our standard NFW logo on the car, but instead wanted to come up with something a little more edgy and fun. So I took our "trident" that's used in our logo and on all of our second hands, and used them as the "crossbones" to go behind a skull. I designed the skull to look a bit mean & nasty. We put these all over the car and it looked great.

So, I posted some pics of the car on a few watch forums. The response to this Skull & Tridents artwork was huge. So, we made some t-shirts & hats with this emblem and sold tons of them. And a few people also asked me if they could use the design for some tattoo work. I was honored that some people would actually want to ink this on their bodies!

Well, I had been wanting to come out with a L.E. version of the AutoPilot, something a bit different, that as a unique story behind it. And since our race car is number 111, and my first son was born at 1:11 AM, that seemed like an appropriate quantity for this Limited Edition.

And that's how it all evolved.... :>)

Great story George...Watch looks great...Thanks for clarifying the inspiration behind the LE...

the AP is a great case, solid and well built. The thing about George is his watches are original, made to his specs and no other company has them like some of the other companies that buy a case design that several are using, throw on a different dial and caseback and say it's theirs, they are all nice watches but not original like GF.

Thanks for stopping by and giving us some cool information Mr. Fox !
Congratulations with the whole IW Racing team thing. That sounds
like it's going to be TREMENDOUSLY fun ! Plus that skull and tridents has
to be one of the coolest watch emblems or race team logos going. I can
see that logo being used on special edition NFW watches for a long long
time ! EXTREMELY NICE job with the watch, as well as the new logo,
and team sir ! Good Luck to you with all of this !!!
