Accessorie­s: A Jaguar for your wrist, and other watches to rev your engine

-

The same urge we get to buy a fancy car makes us salivate over 200-component mechanical timekeeper­s. Here are five to rev your engines. By Stephen Pulvirent

AUTODROMO GROUP B

$925; autodromo.com

Group B was an early-1980s racing phenomenon— like Nascar but faster and a lot more dangerous. The Autodromo has the same souped-up look, reckless bravado not included.

OMEGA SEAMASTER BULLHEAD

$9,600; omegawatch­es.com

Created with actual drivers in mind, bullhead chronograp­hs put the stopwatch buttons on top for easier access at the wheel.

BREMONT JAGUAR MKIII

$4,850; bremont.com

If you can’t have a Jag in your garage, settle for one on your wrist.

TAG HEUER CARRERA CALIBRE 18

$5,450; tagheuer.com

Based on the company’s earliest racing watches, this redesign has a compact face and sleek vintage styling.

BAUME & MERCIER CAPELAND SHELBY COBRA

$4,450; baume-et-mercier.com

Like its namesake, a tiny British sports car with a big Ford engine, this Swiss timepiece puts maximal function into a minimal package.
