Need A Watch To Show You Love Motorcycles
Posted by Mike Werner on Jan 19th 2016
| Bikers are a funny bunch. We sit on our beloved motorcycle all day, and when we’re not riding one, we want people to know that we’re passionate about them. We buy t-shirts, jackets, even boots that are clearly marked “motorcycle”, and we wear them when we’re not riding. |
| So how about this new watch? Yes, I know. It’s past Christmas time, but maybe something to bookmark for next gift giving season. |
| Azimuth is a Swiss watch manufacturer who makes some very interestingly designed watches. No, not smartwatches as the current fashion trend is dictating, but real mechanical timepieces. |
| Azimuth make watches fit for casino Kings, spaceship flyers, robot creators and now they have a special watch for motorcycle riders. |
| Introduced a few weeks ago at the Las Vegas CES show, the SP-1 Crazy Rider watch has a rather unusual shape (something that looks more or less like a motorcycle engine), and inside it, a motorcycle chain and a pair of sprockets. The chain turns around, moving the hour and minute dials. Very unusual! |
| There is no indication if you can make a motorcycle revving sound when it reaches the full hour, but one thing we do know… it’s BIG: 55 mm (2.1 inches) wide! |

| Oh yeah, and if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it. It’s selling currently in a limited number at CHF5250, which translates to around US$5210. The price of a small motorcycle. |
