Yann Debelle de Montby, Director of Communication, Alfred Dunhill Ltd; "This Christmas I would be delighted to receive the dunhill ceramic and rose gold Carwatch.

"I love the fact that it has a beautiful silhouette inspired by a futuristic sportscar. It also has its own registration plate, which I would have inscribed with the registration of my Alvis TD21. You get a wonderfully compact tool kit complete with spare registration plate and screwdrivers accompanying the watch, so you can change the registration plates at a whim.

"An eccentric twist which I find absolutely fabulous."

With a raised sapphire crystal face, optically sized superluminova numerals and Swiss automatic movement, the Carwatch is the ultimate timepiece for the discerning driver. The hi-tech, two part case is made from steel or an ultra light combination of titanium and stage two ceramic. An engraved personal registration number plate on the front features either the timepiece’s serial number, or an engraving of your choice, such as an anniversary or the registration of a favourite sports car.

Inspired by those that traditionally accompanied vintage cars, the dunhill tool kit comes in an aluminium piston head casing, which opens to reveal a canvas and leather set. Complete with delicate glass vials containing an additional blank number plate, interchangeable stainless steel bracelet or stud-fastening, calf 'driver's strap', screws and a custom made screwdriver, this is the perfect compliment for every aspiring mechanic or petrol head.
