McLaren and Richard Miller announced their first wristwatch at the Geneva International Motor Show (on-going till March 18). Only 500 limited edition of the “RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph” watches were produced.
The Swiss watch brand and the British automaker have joined forces to commission the “RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph” and will be a priority purchase for owners of these McLaren ultimate series supercars: McLaren P1, McLaren P1 GTR and the McLaren Senna.
“The idea was to take on a real technical challenge, and come up with something other than a mere dial with an inscription, for example,” said Fabrice Namura.
Designed by Rob Melville, “I find the 720S mesmerising beautiful, and we wanted to give the RM 11-03 McLaren curves that were similarly both aesthetic and functional,” enthused Namura.
