The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2021 - Issue 29

M any influences inspire watch brands to create innovative timepieces such as aviation, cars, train and railways, and space. British watch company Forzo unites some of the classic themes seen throughout the history of motorsport with cutting-edge designs that are the hallmark of modern automotive competition. The colours and shapes synonymous with motorised competition allow them to pull power and precision into one package that embodies the drive to be the best. “We are motivated by the enthusiastic cry with which motorsport fans have traditionally expressed their support over the years for drivers, riders and teams of all nations,” says the brand. “Each of them engages in the same epic sporting struggle to beat their rivals, part of a captivating spectacle that dates back to more than a century. Sometimes they win, and sometimes they lose. But they always give absolutely everything to master their machinery and overcome the devilish hand of fate, lurking around the corner on each race track, all over the world.” Forzo’s creators have held a lifelong enthusiasm for cars, motorsport and watches, so combining all three in a distinctive family of timepieces is the actual realisation of a dream for everybody involved. They say motorsport stars from the past and of the future have endorsed their watches’ enduring appeal, which nods to history and keeps a close eye on what is to come next. The timepieces are designed entirely in-house and distributed exclusively online from their headquarters in Tewkesbury, England. One of their signature designs is the first collection piece Gridster Automatic Watch with a Black, Blue, White, Yellow and Blue, or Black and Gold dial. The style is inspired by the most extraordinary automotive jewels of the ‘70s and ‘80s. bitewatches CARL FOGARTY 123 MPH FORZO WATCHES British watch brand Forzo introduce their collection of watches and latest collaboration with motorcycle racer, Carl Fogarty, to Jada Brookes.
