The correct world's first removable wrist watch-car clock

With reference to an earlier post about the Peugeot SR1 Concept, anonymous reader "luxury watch aficionado" pointed that Peugeot was not the first to offer a removable luxury clock. The honour goes to Bugatti's 16C Galiber Concept, which features a Parmigiani made removable Reverso Tourbillon clock that can be worn as a wrist watch. The price? A cool USD 150,000.

This particular bit info was not very well publicised because the 16C Galiber Concept was never presented to the general public. It was only unveiled at a closed event in 2009, at Bugatti's spiritual home at Molsheim, France, where Ettore Bugatti and his son Jean Bugatti built the company almost a century ago.



Bugatti's clientele won't bother to read car magazines. And the idea of rubbing shoulders with dirty peasant folks who actually flew to Geneva on commercial airlines to look at the latest models is certainly absurd to them. Instead they go to red carpet private parties, in their private jets. Which is why Bugatti gave major motor shows the pass and unveiled the 16C Galiber Concept at a low keyed event to celebrate Bugatti's centenary celebration. The Galiber Concept is set to go into production by 2013, after the Veyron 16.4 is retired. The price? A cool USD 1.44 million, at that's the base price.
