Golay Spierer Legend Racer Watch

Race car inspired design cues abound. The caseback looks like a wheel, while the seconds subdial is meant to look like a brake disc moving through a caliper - pretty cool actually. There is carbon fiber all over the place (just like on most race cars), and the chronograph pushers look like drilled metal pedals. Then you have the clasp on the hand-made calf leather and carbon fiber strap that is meant to look like a perforated exhaust manifold. The case is 46mm wide and done in carbon fiber with either steel, titanium, or gold.
Golay Spierer uses a Soprod RM 7750 movement inside the watch with a titanium automatic rotor fitted with gold for the needed weight. The movement is essentially a modified Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement that has been fitted with a power reserve indicator. Here of course the movement has been decorated as well.
From modern race cars to those vintage ones of past, the Legend Racer watch is meant to pay homage to them all. The timepiece will be unveiled in Le Castelett, France next month.
