Remember the the Parmigiani Bugatti Super Sport? Inspired by the new convertible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Swiss watchmaker Michel Parmigiani and his team has now unveiled a new addition of its Parmigiani Fleurier’s Bugatti collection: La Bugatti Vitesse. The technical feat of the movement remains the same, the Bugatti Vitesse comes with its legendary PF372 movement and the dial displayed at a 90° angle is made from Texalium, a web of fibre glass covered by a thin layer of aluminium. Parmigiani state that they have made the piece more masculine, available in either blue or orange, this new execution comes presented on a Hermès alligator strap with a titanium folding buckle.
