Speaking of auto inspiration.... there is a watc htat I believe to be the most aesthetically pleasing watch that i've ever seen. IF it were a larger diameter i'd own it.

I have this watch and love it. I don't like big watches and the 39mm size is perfect.

 

Check here daily for some nice watches. I have bought a few including the above Seiko for $129 at Chronoshark.

It seems that the usual car enthusiast watch is just an average watch with a watch face containing a car logo. For example, many Ferrari watches and Porsche watches follow this pattern. Ho hum.

 

Earlier in this thread I posted pics of two watch makers who each went a different path:

Now I see advertised a true watchmaker's tour de force, a tourbillon watch. I've always admired the ingenuity of watches with complicated mechanisms, but of course, I can't afford a quality one. A tourbillon is an addition to a clock's escapement originally developed to negate the effects of gravity and in theory to improve accurancy. If you want to know more about that, here's your link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourbillon#Modern_tourbillon_watches

 

The Chopard Engine One Tourbillon is the first car design watch I've seen that combines a tourbillon with car design elements, not just a brand logo. At least it's the first such watch I've liked. The power reserve indicator looks like the fuel gauge of a German car. I also love the valve covers. Way out of my price range, but thought you might enjoy the eye candy:
