Summary

A thoroughly updated and deluxe edition of the first monograph of its kind to explore 120 years of automotive-inspired timepieces.

Drive Time, Sea Time, and Air Time comprise the first horological lifestyle trilogy to survey high-performing timepieces through the lenses of the cars, ships, and planes that inspired them. With curated new watches to reflect ever-more sophisticated time-pieces and horological expertise, this deluxe third edition of Drive Time is a modern, distinctive update to the series.
 
 Housed in a handsome slipcase, Drive Time Deluxe Edition focuses on the iconic racing chronographs of the mid-twentieth century, such as the Rolex Daytona, Omega Speedmaster, and TAG Heuer Carrera and Monaco, through current timepieces from Chopard Mille Miglia, Breitling by Bentley, Porsche Design, and IWC Mercedes-Benz AMG collections. In celebrating two great twentieth-century inventions—the mass-produced automobile and the wristwatch—Drive Time is perfect for lovers of timepieces, cars, and deluxe style.
