From French watchmaker BRM comes the V12-T-44 Chronograph. BRM has always been known for their motorsport-inspired mechanical timepieces. For Abarth, BRM tweaked its titanium-cased V12-T-44 by adding some Scorpion-brand touches. Getting your hands on one might be difficult as only 49 pieces will be made, each individually numbered and selling exclusively through the BRM website for roughly $7,300.

Being an avid reader of Hodinkee.com, I’ve come across some fine timepieces thanks to Ben and Co. This vintage Paul Newman Daytona Rolex that they got their hands on recently is nothing short of magnificent. Now, put that beauty inside Mercedes’ new AMG SLS Gullwing and you got yourself one hell of a combo. The crew got a chance to push the 563 horsepower beast around the famous Laguna Seca Raceway while sporting the vintage timepiece. The video’s after the jump, but be warned, it may cause excessive drooling. You’ve been warned.

From Watchismo comes this collection of antique and vintage Lip watches ranging from the turn of the century (1900-1976) through the Space-age. “From classic gunmetal pocket watches to the ultra-modern wristwatches by the designer series of the seventies. Rarities in mint condition to models in new-old-stock models that have never been worn since they were introduced decades ago”. This might be one of the finest vintage collections we’ve ever seen and considering some of the pieces were locked up without ever being worn, you should check the wristcandy and maybe get one around yours if your wallet allows.
