As the year hurtles toward its grand finale, consider gifting your loved ones (or treating yourself) the epitome of precision and style — a Formula 1-inspired luxury watch. Just as the world's fastest racing cars push the boundaries of speed, these timepieces mirror the essence of high-performance engineering and cutting-edge design. From the wrists of F1 drivers to collaborations with iconic racing sponsors, we've curated a selection of timekeeping marvels that seamlessly blend the worlds of motorsport and horology (that's the art of watchmaking, my friends).
The sponsors
Watch sponsorships for Formula 1 teams isn't a new thing; Jack Heuer developed sponsorships going back into the 1960s. Today, nearly every team has a timepiece sponsorship:
- Red Bull Racing - Tag Heuer
- Mercedes - IWC
- Ferrari - Richard Mille
- McLaren - Richard Mille
- Aston Martin - Girard-Perregaux
- Alpine - Bell & Ross
- Williams - Bremont
- AlphaTauri - Previously Casio Edifice
- Alfa Romeo - Rebellion
- Haas - Previously Cyrus Geneve
Rolex is also a sponsor of F1, though of the organization in general, not of any particular team.
