If you’re going to produce world-class sports cars, you’re going to need the timepieces to go with them. It’s a time-honored rule that’s been followed by Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche and Bugatti, to name just a few. And now that the Saab takeover is out of the way, Spyker is preparing to join their ranks.
The collection will be crafted by Expressions d’Artistes International, based in Geneva. Limited details have been revealed at this point, but the range will include pieces crafted in steel, white gold and rose gold, and feature such complications as date indicators and power reserve meters. They’ll all bear Spyker’s trademark steampunk-style decor, from the machine-turned metal found on Spyker dashboards to the Hulshof leather from their bucket seats, which will be used for the wrist-straps.
Special editions exclusively for Spyker owners will feature their cars’ VIN digits. Prices will range from €8,000 for the steel model to €20,000 for the rose gold (that’s $10,700-$27,000 USD), with the official unveiling to take place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. Details in the press release after the jump.
