Autodromo's first Automatic Watch: The Monoposto

Some of you are already in the know, but for the rest, I am very excited to tell you about our latest offering from Autodromo!  The new Limited Edition Monoposto is our very first watch with an Automatic mechanical movement, and is available in black or silver dial versions.  The entire edition is 500 pieces, and each comes individually numbered, and with a numbered collectors box.

As the name implies, the Monoposto is Autodromo's homage to the midcentury Grand prix car, and its dial is inspired by the dinner-plate sized tachometers found on single seaters of the 1950s.  A characteristic detail of the watch is the redline on the inside of the watch crystal, as a reference to the old school practice of painting or taping the rev limit onto the rev counter's glass directly to warn the driver when to shift.

 

The Monoposto is in stock and ready to ship for the holidays, priced at just $875 USD for the ultimate car guy gift under 1000 bucks!  www.autodromo.com

The Ultimate Lancisti Garage

While doing research on the Lancia Fulvia Barchetta (more to come on that topic, folks!), I came across these photos on a Belgian classic car forum. I translated the page and learned that apparently these Lancias belong to a man in Southern France who clearly has awesome taste. He pretty much has my dream Lancia collection all under one roof! Stratos? Check. Fulvia HF? Check. Fulvia HF Barchetta (one of 4 made)? Check. Fulvia Zagato? Check.  I would count myself tickled to own just one of these wonderful cars in my lifetime.  Also, in today's era of nouveau riche eat-off-the-floor garage-mahals, I love the unpretentiousness of this dream garage, complete with le bebe foot.
