The Rolls-Royce watch is easily one of the most luxurious concept watches ever created. Nicolas Lehotzky's design is inspired by the Rolls-Royce Phantom, getting its unique shape from the luxury sedan's engine.
The Rolls-Royce watch face is inspired by the Phantom's engine. Time is told using six small barrels. Other automotive nods include a small engine belt winding over miniature gears on the left side of the watch. The Rolls-Royce logo can also be found just below the face. My only knock on this watch is that it doesn't come with a gaudy hood ornament designed to show everyone just how awesome this watch is. After all, no Rolls-Royce would be complete without an accompanying Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
