Luxury watches are celebrated for far more than their ability to tell time. Collectors and enthusiasts value them for a combination of craftsmanship, heritage, exclusivity, and investment potential. In this issue of duPont REGISTRY, we present 10 pages of complex complications, classic reissues, innovative materials, and tool watches for everyday wear – many of which are closely tied to luxury cars, motorsport, aviation, or iconic figures, lending each watch cultural significance.

Limited production runs and bespoke options make certain timepieces highly exclusive, signaling status and taste while serving as wearable art. Whether you’re a horological aficionado or seeking a complement to your car collection and lifestyle, this guide has something for you.

Our cover story reflects one of the stars of Monterey Car Week – Lamborghini’s phenomenal new Fenomeno. I was lucky enough to be on the spot as the covers came off this ultimate expression of what Lamborghini stands for, and just moments after the world got to see it at The Quail, I gleaned exclusive insights from its Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, about its creation.

Meantime, my colleague Michael Teo Van Runkle visited McLaren’s Carmel Valley chateau to quiz its new CCO Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, and he got more answers than expected about its potential EV and SUV future.

 

In our DRIVE section, Basem Wasef tests out Ford’s new Mustang GTD, which is basically a street-legal version of its GT3 race car. We’ve seen Corvette taking on the European supercar elite recently, so how does its rival American heavy metal hero measure up?

Our LIVE section goes beyond our Watch Guide, with a peek into the garages of Miami’s upcoming Pagani Residences.

Finally, SELL showcases a curated lineup of the world’s most desirable exotic, classic, and luxury automobiles, spotlighting Lamborghini Palm Beach, while Andrew Riedell casts his expert eye across the major auction results in Monterey.

Of course, the appeal of a supercar or a fine watch goes way beyond their mechanics and price tag. Here’s to our treasured possessions which remind us each day that every second counts.

Happy reading, and as always, drive safely!
