McLaren Automotive’s creations aim to incorporate a maximum of Formula 1 technologies and developments in their racing and ‘touring’ cars, from which to extract innovations that can be adapted across the collections.

The “RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph wristwatch” is based on the characteristics and design from the world of McLaren, particularly, from its 720S supercar.

“The idea was to take on a real technical challenge, and come up with something other than a mere dial with an inscription, for example,” said Fabrice Namura.

Designed by Rob Melville, “I find the 720S mesmerising beautiful, and we wanted to give the RM 11-03 McLaren curves that were similarly both aesthetic and functional,” enthused Namura.
