Aston Martin and the Austrian luxury brand Buben & Zรถrweg embark on an exciting new collaboration this year with a One-77-inspired 'Object of Time' - a limited-edition masterpiece of craftsmanship and design, much like the One-77 itself, a 200mph-plus expression of pure automotive art. Limited to 77 examples- again, like Aston Martin's ultra-desirable supercar - this remarkable piece of fumiture, standing at 1.7m high, is the latest in Buben & Zorweg's expanding line of handcrafted display casesfor lovers of fine timepieces. Containing its own mechanical dock, regulated by a flying tourbillon complication crafted inhouse at Buben & Zรถrweg's Atelier d'Horlogerie, the Object of Time also doubles as a safe in wh ich your wristwatches can be mounted on an array of 'Time Mover' watch winders. Add to that an elite sound system, and two hefty doors bearing unerring similarities to the scultpted flanks of its sibling sports car, and you have a horological artifact quite unlike anything else created before. The new Object of Time is a result of a dose affinity in design philosophy, and Christian Zรถrweg and Harald Buben, who founded their company in 1995, see strong links between the two brands: 'We are approaching this project with the same uncompromising attitude as Aston Martin. Our Object of Time "One-77" will also be unusual and unique, and will set new standards with regard to design, perfect craftsmanship and visionary innovation.'
