Yes, it’s a watch, but this limited-edition timepiece has an unarguable link to motoring – and it’s affordable
British car designer Matthew Humphries has worked on the Morgan 3-Wheeler, the Morgan Aeromax and the Morgan Aero Super Sports. Since then, he’s turned his attention to watches – but Humphries has carried over the same philosophy.
The CR1 watch is available in a range of colours from our very own shop, and each carries an unmistakable 1960’s charm with design cues from vehicle dials and small cues from motor sport such as the long second hand – essential for those timekeepers. And, as it happens, MHD Watches is the official timing partner of the Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb.
Normally, watches we feature that are produced in limited numbers are excruciatingly expensive, but this one starts from £250 plus VAT. There are only 500 examples of these timepieces, and their subtle, considered cues from motor racing put them firmly on our wishlist.
