Timepiece Machines, Stories of speed, endurance and design



John Simonian



We are not just speaking of high-powered supercars, luxurious vessels, or air travel, but the world’s finest timepieces, and how all of these former industries have had considerable influence on the extraordinary mechanical wonders one wears on the wrist.

Some of the most impressive designs of automobiles, yachts, and air travel have inspired some of the most revered and prestigious watches in the world; this is the awe-inspiring union of time with engineering and craftsmanship. From complex machines or the most complicated mechanisms, to elaborate designs and highly customized engines, this beautifully photographed edition is all about the result of the mingling of these two worlds, with some of the miniature machines worn on the wrist boasting as much technology, craftsmanship, and even financial input as the vehicles of travel they are inspired by.
