    Watchmakers' and Carmakers' alliances

    Do you all know? Recently, (or maybe not...) watches and cars seem to be getting along pretty well... Some have already been, while some haven't... For example, :

    I)Breitling with Bentley
    II)IWC with AMG
    III)Jaeger-le Coultre with Aston Martin
    IV)Girard-Perregaux with Ferrari
    V)Audemars Piguet with Maserati
    VI)Parmigiani Fleurier with Bugatti(specially for the Veyron)
    VII)?

    Anymore, please post...
    These brands have even made special timepieces to commemorate their alliances with the respective makes. For Breitling, there are already so many, no need to list them all down... IWC created the Ingenieur AMG for the CLS 55 which will be given free to buyers of the CLS 55. Jaeger made the AM-VOX for the DB9(I think) and AP made the Millenary Maserati for Maserati. Parmigiani, made a 'Bugatti Watch' for Bugatti Veyron buyers, but that changed. Since no one bought a Veyron, they made the watch public. Albeit that, there's nothing really nice about that watch anyway...

    Back in 1994, Mercedes and Swatch have made the company MCC (Micro Compact Car) specially to produce the Smart. More than just "smart" this name means: "Swatch-Mercedes Art"

    Which comes from the McLaren side of the SLR, as TAG and McLaren have had a long term relationship.

    Does Shumacher-Omega fit?
