The Bentley x Bamford Mulsanne Speed was created in collaboration between Bentley's [Mulliner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-mulliner-inspired-by-china) design department and George Bamford (the man behind the [Bamford Watch Department](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamford-mayfair-20)). The Bentley x Bamford Mulsanne Speed is outfitted with an analog clock on the interior that has been customized and seats that have been covered in a mix of Anthracite cloth and leather. Rather than revealing a cocktail kit like other high-end luxury cars, the Bentley x Bamford Mulsanne Speed features a carbon fiber watch case in the rear to help drive home who designed the vehicle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-end Luxury Cars:** Luxury car brands could partner with luxury watchmakers to create unique, personalized experiences for their customers. - **Analog Clocks in Cars:** With the trend towards vintage and retro styles, analog clocks in luxury cars could become a popular feature and design element. - **Personalization in Luxury Cars:** Luxury car makers could differentiate themselves by offering more customizable options to create a personalized experience for their customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Cars:** Luxury car makers could explore partnerships with luxury watchmakers to create unique luxury experiences for their customers. - **Luxury Watchmaking:** Luxury watchmakers could extend their brand reach by partnering with luxury car makers to create analog clocks and other luxury appointments for cars. - **Automotive Design:** Automotive designers could explore more personalized customization options to differentiate luxury car brands and create unique experiences for their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revolutionized Automotive Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulliner.md) - [Hypercar-Inspired Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-baguette.md) - [Chinese Culture Car Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-mulliner-inspired-by-china.md) - [Luxurious Wooden Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-wooden-surfboard.md) - [Space-Themed SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentayga-speed.md) - [Premium Hypercar-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillion-hyperwatch.md) - [Revived Classic Vintage Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-zero.md) - [Carbon-Loaded Luxury Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports.md) - [Blacked-Out Sportscar Spec Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulliner-blackline.md)
