I feel like the venn diagram of car guys and watch guys (and gals) overlap quite a bit. So my brain can't help but see the parallel between these 2 categories.
For example, Journe and Pagani. Both small independent brands headed by visionary craftsmen with innovative ideas and uncompromising philosophy.
What other pairs do you guys see here?
I thought about this comparison during a few bike rides and here's what I came up with based on the number of said car I see in the wild:
Rolex~Mercedes
Omega~BMW
Tudor~Audi
Jaeger LeCoultre~Aston Martin
Seiko~Honda
Grand Seiko~Acura
Blancpain~Maserati
Richard Mille~Bugatti
Patek Philippe~Ferrari
Vacheron Constantin~Bentley
Audemars Piguet~Tesla
IWC~Alfa Romeo
Citizen~Toyota
Zenith~Lotus
Hublot~Cadillac
Orient~Mazda
Sinn~Range Rover
A Lange & Sohne~Rolls Royce
I know a lot of them don't really make sense but this was when I was first getting into watches and learning about the brands.

Brilliant! One minor change: Rolex - Audi, Tudor - Volkswagen :)

Wow you really do some deep thinking on your rides!
Someone also mentioned Oris = Volvo, which I thought was pretty on point 😁
I swear I didn't hear Brandon's responses before posting 😂
Haha, it seems all cyclists think alike 😆

Damn...solid list sir! The only one I cant match is A Lange & Sohne--- Until they invent a flying car that runs on pure air and is self driving while it does my laundry...A Lange & Sohne is too special to compare (to me).

As someone who bought a ChronOris especially for road trips in his Volvo, I approve of this association! 🤓

Thank God you said Pagani and not Pagani Design!! 😂
