Through their partnership with Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, a boutique manufacturer of exotic high- performance racing and road cars, Forzo created their second collection called Road to Race. “This unique range of watches celebrates the team’s road to the headlining ‘hypercar’ class in June 2021 and also pays tribute to the best of 1960s automotive design: just as Glickenhaus has done with its stunning new LMH007 racer.” The Limited Edition Glickenhaus Chronograph and Automatic watches in Black/Red and Black/Blue feature a solid 40 mm bezel 316L stainless steel case. It has multi-layer dials, date display, raised and chamfered edge thick sapphire crystal glass and a screw-down crown. They are equipped with Japanese Mecha-Quartz Time Module (Seiko) and Automatic Mechanical Miyota 9015 movements. The Glickenhaus logo shows on the dial and custom Glickenhaus ‘Road to Race’ on the casebook. Their latest collaboration with motorcycle racer Carl Fogarty has thoroughly excited the brand. “Carl Fogarty is a motorbike legend. He possesses an astonishing turn of speed and nerves of steel.We’re proud to be working with him for the launch of our new brand.” The son of former motorcycle racer George Fogarty, Carl, globally known as ‘Foggy’, influenced the 123 MPH collection that celebrates his lap record speed of 123 mph around the iconic and challenging Isle of Man TT circuit. Forzo first met the seven-time world championship rider last year thanks to their passion for watches and speed and was closely involved in the project from start to completion. Carl stressed he wanted a more oversized watch with a classic dial design and an uncomplicated look, making it easy to read and underlining the quality synonymous with Forzo. “The resulting limited edition is a clean and imposing watch, which personifies power, speed, and reliability - just like Carl himself.” Foggy holds four world superbike titles but his record- breaking lap at the Isle of Man TT circuit is most remembered. “The courage needed to thread the eye of the needle, protected by only sheer talent and just a sliver of leather, is beyond belief.” He won the 14th series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here in 2014, crowned ‘King of the Jungle’. He is the brand ambassador for CCM Motorcycles - a bespoke British bike brand - and Forzo is his first watch collaboration. The Limited Edition Forzo Foggy Chronograph Swiss Super-Luminova Watch in Red/White has a 41 mm 316L stainless steel case and bracelet. Flat sapphire crystal with underside AR coating, multi-layer vertically brushed dial, screw-down crown and pushers, and date function. It’s available with Automatic 3 Hand or Mecha-Quartz Chronograph movements. The limited-edition model, available until August, will not be repeated, so it’s an exciting investment opportunity for Foggy fans and watch collectors alike.
