Ducati Watches

While I was in Las Vegas at the JCK Jewelry Show, I checked out the Ducati watches from Binda and fell in love. I'm a sucker for anything Ducati anyway but really integrate the Ducati aesthetic very well, sticking to a red, white, black and gray palette and integrating a rugged motorcycle-ready look.

The watch at left is from the Ducati One Collection and has a Swiss made ETA 2824 automatic movement and a 42mm case in black titanium. The dial is reminiscent of a motorcycle wheel while the texture of the rubber strap looks like a tire tread. It sells for $1,175.

The watch on the right is from the Desmo Collection. It as a Swiss made Ronda 5030 quartz chronograph and the 44mm case is stainless steel.The water-resistant watch has a case back with eight screws and stainless steel screws on the bezel with a stainless steel and red screw crown. It sells for $1,095.

A Mini Ducati for the Kids

We've seen Brad Pitt zooming around Paris on his Ducati so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that little Maddox has one of these babies. It's an electric mini Ducati from Peg Perego which also makes scaled down John Deere tractors and Vespa scooters for the little ones. The12 Volt version of Ducati's monster only runs for one hour before need a charge and hits a top speed of around 4.6 mph. It also has stabilizers that can be removed.

I'm loving the brand synergy going on in the luxury field. My favorite motorcycle manufacturer Ducati is at it again. This time partnering up with Ermenegildo Zegna, the makers of men's fashion to create a new bottle for the Z Zegna cologne. The bottle is done in black lacquer with a laser-cut racing stripe and the Ducati name up the side. The scent is a mix of Sicilian bergamot, rosemary and the casoar fruit from New Guinea. The limited edition can be picked up for $60 at Sephora.

Like Ducati bikes? Now you can get the luggage to match. The motorcycle maker has become the latest brand to license their name to a luggage line. The Ducati Collection by Tumi is a line of eight red and black bags with the Ducati logo. The line ranges from a $35 key ring to the $435 carry-on shown here. Love the red and black and the rounded handle but is the big white logo on the side really necessary?

Angelina Jolie may have her Cirrus plane but Brad Pitt has his own toys. Just Jared has a gallery of pictures that show Pitt zooming around Paris on his Ducati motorcycle. Say what you like about Piit, he's got great taste in bikes.

Ducati Paul Smart 1000

Posted Jan 31st 2006 11:01AM by Deidre Woollard
Filed under: Wheels

My love for Ducati bikes continues unabated. The latest is the Paul Smart 1000. Smart is the British racer who rode Ducati's 750 Imola Desmo to victory way back in 1972, helping to make Ducati the name it is today. The Smart 1000 is retro-styled, right down to the metallic-silver paint job, teal-green frame, and wire-spoke wheels. The look may be old but this Ducati also has modern details like a dual-spark V-twin, Brembo disc brakes, terrain-adapting Öhlins suspension, and a top speed of 160 mph. The bike sells for $13,995.
