Bugatti has partnered with watchmaker Jacob & Co. to release a timepiece only owners of its seven-figure supercars can possibly afford.
The new watch, called the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, is highly complex and features a tiny, moving replica of Bugatti's 16-cylinder engine inside. The actual engine it's based on — an 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged unit rated at 1,500 horsepower — propels the $3 million Bugatti Chiron to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds and helps it achieve an electronically limited top speed of 261 mph.
Judging by its $280,000 price tag — a figure that could buy you any number of super-fast sports cars — you might think the Chiron Tourbillon puts up similarly impressive specs. Unfortunately, the watch isn't going anywhere fast, but it sure does look cool.
The miniature engine's pistons actually move, and the watch sports Bugatti-inspired design elements like a tiny horseshoe grille and shock absorbers that suspend the watch's movement in midair.
