Parmigiani Bugatti Faubourg Type 370

Bugatti Faubourg Type 370 is a wristwatch by Parmigiani.

Even in the diverse world of watches the 'Bugatti Type 370' from the manufacture Parmigiani is a highly unusual creation. The construction adapts design principles from the car world and gives the impression of a motor gearbox. At the same time it offers from the above through the glass a vivid insight into structure as well as functioning. Equally unusual is the location of the dial at the side. Thus the dial is read from the wrist side.

The watch is both a reference to the legendary car brand Bugatti and to the new model Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the most powerful production sports car in the world.

In 2009, parallel to the new car edition Bugatti Veyron Fbg Hermès, a corresponding watchmaking creation Bugatti Type 370 Faubourg was launched, whose color characteristics are based on the leather upholstery and the whole flair of the automobile and picks up its style. She is dressed from head to toe by the saddler Hermès and characterized by the same elegance, for which the car manufacturer Bugatti is known.

The new Veyron again adopts the landmark of the Bugatti of the crazy years - the two colors - in the combination of ebony and tow up to the reinterpreted driving space with hand-sewn young bull leather. The wristwatch Bugatti Type 370, in turn, distinguishes herself by the same leather quality and the same color characteristics at dial and strap leather, whose cream-colored stitching also emphasizes the uniqueness of this model.
