Carbon Ceramic Wristwatch for Car Lovers

Carbon fiber is all the rage these days. It was just a matter of time until the world’s first carbon fiber encased wristwatch was revealed – the Quattro Valvole CCM. Italian watchmaker Mecchaniche Veloci has teamed up with Brembo, supplier of high performance brake discs, to create this carbon fiber timepiece:

It’s made of carbon ceramic, the material which is used by Brembo to make high-tech brakes. The name Quattro Valvole comes from the four valves that Ferrari used in its 1984 model 308 GTS. The watch features four faces, showing independent Swiss mechanical movements. The price is $15,000 (about R140,000) each and you have a choice of dials in red, black, yellow and silver.
