Title: If your watch is a car
Post by: yehlai on November 21, 2016, 10:09:26 AM

Here is my interpretation:

Patek = Roll Royce
A. Lange & Söhne = Maybach
Tudor = Golf R
Omega = BMW
B & R = Triumph bike
Rolex = Mercedes-Benz (use MB hour hands)
Audemars Piguet = Maserati
Montblanc = Aston Martin
Cartier = Jaguars
Hublot = Audi
Vacheron Constantin = High line Alfa (Alfa Romeo 6c etc.)
Jaeger-LeCoultre = Bugatti
IWC = Porsche
Girard-Perregaux = Alfa Romeo
Frederique Constant = Volvo
Heuer (no TAG) = McLaren
Tissot = VW
Grand Seiko = Lexus
Seiko = Toyota
Panerai = Rover
Longines = Peugeot
Chopard = ?
Richard Mille = Pagani
Franck Muller = ?
Breitling = ?
Tag Heuer = ?
Zenith =?
Swatch = RC car
DW = Tamiya

Tag Heuer = Honda
Chopard = Cadillac
Franc Muller = Infiniti
Breitling = Nissan

JLC should be more Aston Martin than Bugatti.

AP should be Bugatti, and finally VC should be Bently.

I am not the biggest friend of car-watch analogy, for I have little knowledge in car.
That said, I am still keen to play.  :)
To get the watch - car analogy, one will first need to get his / her own "watch ranking" in order.
To me:

Top Tier: Patek = Roll Royce; A. Lange & Söhne = Maybach; Audemars Piguet = Maserati; Vacheron Constantin = High line Alfa Romeo;  Richard Mille = Pagani

Luxury: Rolex = Mercedes-Benz; Cartier = Jaguars; Jaeger-LeCoultre = Bugatti; IWC = Porsche; Girard-Perregaux = Alfa Romeo; Grand Seiko = Lexus; Chopard = ?   

Premium: Omega = BMW; Hublot = Audi; Panerai = Rover; Franck Muller = ? ; Breitling = ?

Mass market:Tudor = Golf R; B & R = Triumph bike; Montblanc = Aston Martin; Frederique Constant = Volvo; TAG Heuer (TAG or no TAG, it sounds to me like marketing gimmick, as far as modern watches are concerned) = McLaren; Tissot = VW; Seiko = Toyota; Longines = Peugeot; Tag Heuer = ?; DW = RC car

Based on my own tiering, it seems like the underlined brands are either paired too highly with their motor counterpart (Montblanc, Heuer, JLC) or too low (Vacheron)?
PS: Do include Zenith, or one of our moderator would not play this game  ;D
Also, these are some other names that should be included: Glashutte Original, Breguet, Blancpain, Piaget, Nomos, Ulysse Nardin.

Must be Q&Q (by Citizen) and Casio!

I kind of disagree with Panerai = Rover.

Panerai is Italian, and the watch comes with Italian flair.

I would think Panerai = Maserati :thumbsup:

Breitling = Honda
Tag Heuer = Nissan
