About
The coachbuilder takes it name from the artisan workers who used to shape magnificent car bodys by hand. And like it´s name the watch is filled with subtle nods to the automotive world - like the small hats covering the hands, or the diagonal lines on the bezel and crown resembling gears in a gear box. Moving on the pushers are shaped to look like small engine pistons, while the 24h subdial takes it´s inspiration from the checker flag on the racetrack.

One of the case options featured is a uncommon alloy "aluminium bronze", which varies from regular bronze in both it´s more golden finish and that it over times just gets darker and more matte as the patina finish, in contrast to the green patina seen on regular bronze.
Automotive details
Adding to the details already mentioned, the watch get´s it´s diamond pattern seen on the strap from old english sportscar seats. The dial and subdials themselves are curved to mimic the flowing curves off a classic car body. The case itself has an "open frame" design seen seen on the sides, just like cars originally used to have a frame for stiffness with a car body on top.
