IN SEARCH OF A LEGEND
Finding an original Jaguar E-Type part isn't that difficult, but finding one in aluminium is much harder. From the very first design sketches, we knew this would be a demanding quest. After months of intensive research and discussions with car enthusiasts, we finally found our treasure near Paris: an aluminium bonnet that belonged to a 1962 semi-lightweight E-Type, registration 1480WK, which won the 2020 Auto Tour. This iconic model, known for its participation in legendary races, had an exceptional history that we wanted to capture.


THE E-TYPE: ELEGANCE AND PERFORMANCE
Few sports cars have become as emblematic of a genre and an era in automotive design and adrenalin-fuelled racing as the Jaguar E-Type. So much so that Enzo Ferrari himself declared it the most beautiful car ever conceived when it was launched in 1961. Aimed at the general public and amateur sports car enthusiasts, the E-Type was designed and built to be perfect on the road. However, it soon made its debut on the racing circuit, winning several competitions in the capable hands of both amateur and professional drivers.

A WATCH WITH A UNIQUE CONCEPT
Our watches were born of the desire to offer our members the opportunity to acquire a unique piece of automotive history, with a dial produced directly from the bonnet of a Jaguar E-Type. The emblematic British legend, a true style icon since its creation, embodies chic and elegance... Values that have guided the development of this E-Type collection.
A WATCH MADE FROM A JAGUAR

THE DESIGN PROCESS OF OUR WATCH

Our main goal was to offer a chic, elegant watch in the image of the Jaguar E-Type that would pay a sincere and meticulous tribute to it through its design.
