Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms What watches should I wear when driving a Morgan?

That would melt my remaining brain cell, but at least I’d always arrive early.

...and it's every bit as practical as the three wheeler.

I shall make do with my Smiths electric clock I fitted to the dashboard.

Two great classics from Longine aviation watches

The Avigator,at least you wouldn't arrive quite so early




The LIndberg, beleived to have been designed by the man himself, so he could navigate whilst flying solo

Let me suggest as a Swiss guy:
Of course a watch from good old England. Here my wifes Beaucroft in "British Sky" limited edition. Automatic movement. Made in Cambridge.

(Meant only in humour)

Put that on a lefty and its going to be a car crash....

The Kinks had a song that seems appropriate :

They seek him here, they seek him there
His clothes are loud, but never square
It will make or break him, so he's got to buy the best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion

My Ferrari had a clock in it! It didnt work But the speedo did and thats what matters.

I suspect a mechanical watch for those who have interest in such craftsmanship and design, may be similar to that of car enthusiasts in terms of the design variation appearance and sound of different internal combustion engines.. and likewise enthusiasts in both areas might somewhat less appreciative of the modern electrically driven alternatives...? As ever each to their own... (-:

Calum, it’s absolutely no surprise you’d wear a watch with no numbers and all off at a jaunty angle, at least the aviator one gives you a clue.
Howard, Morgans and their owners haven’t been in fashion since 1930, we don’t follow anyone, we’re in front going slow!😁
