This watch and car combo deal is going too far... just how does that watch make you think of the car and vice versa...?

"how does that watch make you think of the car and vice versa"
Both Mercedes-Benz (especially AMG) and IWC are known for their technical expertise in engineering. Beyond that basic similarity, they both are approximately equal in their brand cachet within their respective markets, at or near the top of the volume-produced luxury/sport markets for cars and watches.
Although the car does not resemble the watch and vice versa, if you were familiar with the history and reputation of both brands, this combination would be an obvious natural.
Incidentally, although IWC is a swiss watchmaker. All of the swiss watchmakers are generally divided into either the French-Swiss or the German-Swiss, with most of the upper-tier watchmakers leaning toward the French-Swiss. IWC falls into the German-Swiss category so their pairing with a German automaker is yet another natural fit.

IWC watch (clock) is already built-in to some AMG models (S & CL)
