What A Time
L'epee 1839, a Swiss purveyor of highend clocks, has unveiled its Time Fast Il collection, which pays homage to Formula 1 race cars from the 1960s.
An aperture on the lateral side of each aluminium-forged chassis houses two stainless steel discs, for the hour-and-minute display, to evoke the vehicles' competition number. In the cockpit, the steering wheel doubles up as a time-setting mechanism. Under the hood are two independent movements: one for driving the time display with an eight-day power reserve, and another that fires up the engine automat. When activated via a key on the dashboard, the pistons of the V8 engine pump with vigour-as any high-performance engine ought to.
Weighing 4.7kg, each variant is richly detailed and exquisitely realised. Available in five colours-Ferrari red, British racing green, Mercedes silver, AC Cobra blue with white stripes, and white with blue stripes-each model is limited to 99 pieces.
Phantom Of The Night
Released in 2020, the two-seat, V6 engine-powered Maserati MC20 is emblematic of the Trident's style- and performance-driven ethos. With the new MC20 Notte, the Italian marque delivers more of the above, with an extra touch of mystique.
