Masculine Monday: Luxury Cars and Luxury Watches
Classy men love classy watches—and classy cars. How about a watch to match your ride? When status quo is on the line in the world of luxury cars, you’re no one until you have a watch to match your upper-echelon status.
Check out the fully redesigned 2013 Mitsubishi Evolution XI. Incorporating some of the vehicles best features—like it’s high performance engine and it’s AWD drivetrain, Mitsubishi has also incorporated some of it’s i-MiEV features, incorporating the new, green technology with either a turbo diesel or gas powered motor. It’s rumored that Mitsubishi will even allow drivers to accelerate to almost highway speed on battery power alone, vastly improving fuel economy.
Watch: The Bvlgari Assioma XL Chronograph. The biggest difference between this wrist watch and your Evo? The Evo is not automatic. Bvlgari has harnessed their best abilities to attend to the details with this Assioma XL Chronograph. The styling and design of the casing is extremely new-aged, much like your newly redesigned Evo, and it’s extremely accurate automatic chronograph movement is just as powerful as your 291 pounds of horsepower!
The 2013 Bentley Azure Convertible: 3 tons and 18 feet worth of impeccable handcrafted luxury. The Azure T is a four seat; soft-top convertible equipped with a powerful V8 producing a roaring 740 pound feet of torque. Some of the standard features include grossly exaggerated non-essentials like xenon headlights, a premium Naim sound system, and tri-zoned climate control—to name a few. While the Bentley Azure is available in 39 color choices, I can’t imagine how you’d choose the one best suited to your personality!
Watch: Why, the Breitling for Bentley, of course! This extremely large watch face and distinctive Knurled Bezel (a Bentley trademark) clearly overcompensates for a lot of things. The chronograph is incredibly accurate, the design is chic and functional, and the simple black leather watchband coexists beautifully as a finishing touch.
Let’s take a look at the brand new 2013 Ferrari FF. With a stock V12 cranking out 651 HP and 504 pound feet of torque, this interesting and sporty Ferrari 3 door packs a lot of punch. Its unmatched exterior design creates more cargo, legroom and backseat space than any other Ferrari on the road while the unique all-wheel-drive system creates unparalleled safety and driving comfort. You’ll want a precise luxury timepiece to accurately count the 3.7 seconds this Ferrari FF takes to get from 0 to 60.
Watch: The wristwatch for Ferrari enthusiasts. “Panerai’s “Ferrari Chronograph” is simply heavenly nostalgic.”
The appearance is pleasant to the eye—reminiscent of a racecar cockpit, and it’s one of the only watches in the world that can measure average speed. Considered by many as one of the finest timepieces the world has to offer. It’s sister, the Officine Panerai Ferrari Grantourismo FER0005 is similar in style and features, and amazingly luxurious.
