In 2014, Parmigiani Fleurier has celebrated 10 years of partnership with the French now German automaker owned Bugatti, part of the most coveted supercars in the world, including the holder of the world record for the car fastest production the Bugatti Veyron from Pebble Beach is a short drive from where I live in Silicon Valley, I'm more than happy to drive to spend a few days living the life Bugatti and Parmigiani, in what I found to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The following is a brief report on this dream lifestyle of my experience Elegance Contest 2014 during this memorable weekend and a firsthand account of Veyron owners I met and had the chance to speak Please note, however, that I am far from even able to test drive a Veyron, let alone own one, so it's not a lifestyle I can really understand, but more than two days, while surreal, I was part of it and I will try to report about from the perspective of Parmigiani and also shows the amateurs.
The company that makes the fastest car of the world production of the Veyron, has a long, interesting but broken, history in making Bugatti planet's most coveted cars was launched in 1909 by Etto Bugatti an Italian immigrant with a strong sense of style and mechanical ingenuity to match the company he founded in the Alsace region is now part of France created in 1920, 30, 40 and some of the most beautiful cars and the fastest of the day at the Concours d'Elegance, we could see a such as the creation of Bugatti, the rare type 57S electronic torpedo 1935, owned and operated by Jim Hull.

In 1998, the Volkswagen Group purchased the Bugatti name and relaunched the brand with a passion that Mr. Bugatti would surely be proud of the first production model after the recovery is nothing short of extraordinary; launched in 2005, the Bugatti Veyron was appointed by Top Gear car of the decade, it still holds the world record the car's fastest production in the world with the latest 267 mph in running any version of remaining, according to the editors of Top Gear superbly drivable car.
And what is most amazing is that if speeding cars and top speed are legendary, it is equipped with carbon disc brakes that are equally impressive Notre James Stacey had the chance to go for a ride fortunately not in the literal sense in the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and shared his experiences in a wonderful article you can read here.
After spending a weekend surrounded by these legendary mechanical muscles, I kept wondering, why would one buy a car from 2 million Even if you can afford it, what's the point The answers I got Bugatti Veyron different owners at the show were as diverse and interesting one of them clearly bought for the joy of owning one of the most exclusive cars on the planet, while another said that the car was a investment, its value increased by more than 30 since he bought the number of 220 300 cars to ever be manufactured another local owner, simply loves driving his car, as he also testified that if a monster lurking under the engine, the Bugatti Veyron is very drivable, he led her almost every day but probably not too far.
Although the reason to buy such an expensive and exclusive car can vary and different, there is a constant, and it is that owning such a car and driving is a lifestyle you can not drive such a car without sucking dry all the attention where ever you drive with only 300 or Bugatti Veyron ever produced, it's not a car, you will probably encounter the next time you pull on your local whole Foods market, unless you live in Pebble Beach counties or Malibu.
If owning a Bugatti Veyron is a way of life, how can we accessorize while driving if you live this lifestyle, you are clearly a connoisseur or aspire to be finer things in life typical Rolex Daytona example, while the modern race quintessential car shows, can not do too common it would be like driving a BMW M car automobile beautiful by all measures, but compared to a Buggati, it is as a coach vs. flying fly a private jet Therefore Bugatti in partnership with an exclusive and limited watch brand, whose history, corporate values and technical prowess are closely aligned to Bugatti Parmigiani Fleurier.
As Bugatti Parmigiani Fleurier is a contemporary luxury brand producing some of the most exclusive and advanced technical watches the two companies today have a strong bond with a rich heritage with Bugatti cars and the time Mr. Parmigiani Bugatti Etorre with rich restoration skills that Michel Parmigiani brought with him when he started the brand in 1976 and collaborated in 1996 with the Sandoz family and their large collection of unique vintage watches.
It is no wonder that Parmigiani has created the first reserve in 10 days supply line shows to celebrate the two relationships, and this year marks yet released version Parmigiani Supersport picture above watches are designed as driving watches which means that one can easily see the dial while firmly holding both hands on the wheel Bugatti Veyron and approaching the dizzying speed that it can easily reach the Parmigiani Supersport is as exclusive as the Bugatti Veyron himself only 30 pieces will never be created and the price is 430000.
Like maybe an entry level Bugatti watch, which still contains considerable expertise Parmigiani, consider the Bugatti Atalante chronograph flyback at a relatively affordable 53000 this watch can be considered a classic racing car shows coming in a rich rose gold or white gold dial skeleton inspired single Bugatti, it houses a flyback chronograph house with pushers reversed to the right of the dial for easy operation while driving the speedometer around the dial should allow easy timing and calculation the average speed on the track.
Of course, Bugatti and Parmigiani ownership are not for everyone, it is a dream life for most of us, as I mentioned, have such exclusive car is a way of life, he says something about your sense of style, where you are in life, what you have accomplished and what you enjoy this is no different, except for the costs in the way owning a Volkswagen van surfing, or a Ford , speaks volumes about what you value it happens lifestyle Buggati is an extreme minority Knowing how to dress and complement this lifestyle is important, as a surfer or a golfer, or an outdoor enthusiast, there is a sense of personal identity, so if you're one of the lucky few 300 Bugatti owners, or aspire to be one, wearing the right watch, as Parmigiani will help you complete this lifestyle.
