Wheels Australia — June 2017

(Barré) #1

Autodromo’s young, Brooklyn-
based founder Bradley Price says
he’s surprised and delighted that
Australia is his third biggest
market after the US and the UK.
But when his motorsport-inspired
watches are this credible and
affordable, it’s not that surprising
that sensible buyers here prefer
them to Hublots which cost as
much as a house. This limited
edition celebrates Brian Redman,
one of Price’s heroes from the
glory days of endurance racing.
The dial echoes the colours of the
Porsche 908 in which Redman won
the Nurburgring 1000km race in
1969,andthebeautifulpackaging
includes a book signed by him.
Just 50 watches are available with
this black case. If you’re not as
quick as Brian, check out the rest
of the Autodromo range.
