Autodromo Chronograph Watch captures the essence of motoring
Vallelunga watch has the look and feel of Grand Prix tachometers
All great luxury watches pay homage to other areas of stunning design. Recently, many watch makers have been teaming up with luxury automobile companies to create stunning reinterpretations of a car’s classic essence.
Autodromo has captured the essence of motoring with their latest masterpiece: The Vallelunga Chronograph Watch. Designed by Piero Taruffi, the Autodromo Vallelunga captures the romantic essence of the tachometers found in Grand Prix racers:
Officine Autodromo was founded to recapture a romantic era of motoring. It was a time of Gran Turismo when driving from city to city wasn’t just a matter of hopping onto an expressway. It meant slipping on your driving gloves for a high speed jaunt through the great roads of Europe with a powerful, sweet-sounding engine propelling you into new adventure, and maybe even a little danger. Autodromo watches and accessories draw aesthetic inspiration from the world of mid-century auto racing. Our products have a vintage feel, alloyed with a clean, uncluttered modernist design philosophy. Each new product is conceived as an artifact that might have existed in the past, but is equally at home in the world of today.
This watch was made to take out on the road but looks just at home in any black tie affair you attend. Car fanatics will love this for it’s amazingly accurate depiction of dashboard aesthetics. Watch lovers will want this puppy solely beacuse it really looks cool!
