Rijk Mengesel: watches for car lovers

In the Rich Mixture section, we give you tips on substances that make petrolheads greedy. This part with clocks for the car lover.

A watch is perhaps the most important accessory for a man. But a beautiful watch can convey so much more than class and style. A watch can even reflect your hobby or personality.

1. YEMA Rally Graf

The Yema Rallygraf is a watch for real car lovers. The affordable watch is a contemporary take on a 1970s racing watch worn by racing legend Mario Andretti while driving his 700hp Brawner Hawk MK III.

With this car he won the Indy 500 in 1969. The watch is available with a stainless steel or leather strap. The case features a special 60s/70s dial sealed by convex mineral glass.

2. Tag Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph

As many know, Porsche has its own design brand. It collaborates with Tag Heuer for a Porsche Carrera watch. Not a bad choice, because the Swiss manufacturer has a good reputation to uphold.

The design is right from head to toe. The dial has the relief of asphalt and the numbers are reminiscent of the design of a Porsche dashboard. The result is that the jewelry comes at a high price.

3. Ferrari is aiming

A Ferrari watch sounds expensive, but in relative terms it’s not that bad, just like the cars themselves. Despite its affordable price, this Aspire has a sporty design with a polygonal body in the shape of a speedometer and a carbon fiber-look dial.

The Ferrari logo is prominently located to the right of the carbon fiber pattern. In addition, the link strap has a beautiful “invisible” clasp. Italian design at an affordable price!

4. Mercedes-Benz Garmin Venu 2

Where many car manufacturers opt for a classic quartz or automatic watch, you can also order a smartwatch from Mercedes-Benz. The watch is basically a Garmin Venu 2 that lets you pay, measure all sorts of bodily functions, and track your workouts.

Because your Deezer, Amazon Music or Spotify playlists can be stored on your watch, you don’t have to take your watch with you when you run and you can still listen to music. The smartwatch can be wirelessly connected to earbuds or headphones. The special thing about this Mercedes version is that the back and the dial have the manufacturer’s logos on them. This makes the watch around 70 euros more expensive than the version without Mercedes plaster.
