Marko Petrovic - Mercedes 320 Tourbillion
Mercedes 320 tourbillion was design as homage to Mercedes-Benz type 320, firstly introduced in mid-1937. This car was special because it was given an independent front and rear suspension, with coil springs at all four corners. This gave the car impressive road manners while keeping the passengers comfortable.
This watch was born from the necessity of creating purely car oriented watch. The main goal of this watch is to show the obvious resemblance with the Mercedes car brand pointing out elegancy above all. Highly precision and attention to details refers to 'German precision'.
Whole design is inspired by the instrument cluster, so in that spirit the routine of knowing the time has been broken. The hours and minutes are shown as miles (kilometres) in a racing scale, expressing the 'car feeling'.
The main impact was made by a tourbillion with the shape of a Mercedes logo, clearly pointing the brand identity.
Vertical Tourbillion mechanism seemed perfect in this case, following the design in presenting something that seems as a cover of a Lamborghini engine, but instead of showing a glimpse of Lamborghini engine technology, it shows the complexity of this vertical mechanism. The main touch is an imitation of an engine roll bar (same as in aventador) that in this case holds the central loop glass, increasing the hour time. This watch present something that is obviously Lamborghini.
The Avenger watch is still in the concept phases, thus we don't have more specific details, but the obvious power exuded from the prototype makes the final timepiece a thrilling prospect to anticipate.
As for pricing - I know the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador will cost you around $387,000, as for The Avenger Vertical Tourbillion Watch - we will just have to wait and see.

Marko Petrovic - Lamborghini Avenger Tourbillion

The main idea was to transfer that complex but still highly aesthetic engineering in to something other than vehicle but still close to it.
