“Tyres & Timepieces” event UK

Going through various UK event list websites looking at filling my weekends this summer and it got me thinking, are there any events in the UK that combine 2 of my greatest passions, watches and cars. Is anyone aware of such an event in the UK? If not I have in good mind to start my own “Tyres and Timepieces” event! I would invite supercar clubs and owner from around the country and various watch dealerships to showcase collections and make sales. Just me or is this a brilliant idea??

that’s not a bad idea! I assume they’ll host an event once the new refurbishments in the watch department are finished?

Just a semi-related aside....MotoGP at COTA in April each year is a great place for watch spotting. Motorsports and nice watches go together.

Cars and watches are something that go hand in hand many times, I guess for us guys, to accessorise is with watches and cars too!! Great idea, that could become a thing for sure.

100% agree! They compliment each other, I like the fact that when you go out for a meal, you leave your car outside, but can take your watch inside to keep doing the talking if you know what I mean.
