Racing Watches...put a little zip in your collection...Part 1 Microbrands

So I was chatting with Erik @ErikDenStore about racing watches after he posted a shot of his gorgeous Nezumi Voiture which we both share an affinity for...great Swedish microbrand. And then Hector @tonmed posted about modern chronographs (specifically microbrands) in a different post.

And I thought I would write a post about Racing Watches (not just chronographs, but any watch inspired by racing). Then I went through my database and pulled images into a separate folder and quickly realized I had far too many watches for one post.

So, what to do...I decided I would split them into three categories: Microbrands, Vintage and Modern (I think I'm still going to have too many but here goes anyway).

So this is Part 1 of who knows how many to begin the task of discussing watches that are racing themed, inspired by racing or have an automotive style.

I'm going to start with the "Z"s and see how far I can get...

Feel free to post your microbrand racing watches below...tempt me with more to add to the collection.
