Jackie Stewart and Rolex. Graham Hill and Breitling. Racer and watch brand pairings are nearly as old as motorsport itself, and have only become increasingly inseparable with the rise of official endorsements. Formula One fans may associate Ayrton Senna with TAG Heuer, just like MotoGP devotees are likely to link Nicky Hayden with Tissot. Others may be lesser known but no less intriguing: Emerson Fittipaldi and Timex, Loris Capirossi and Eberhard & Co., or Valentino Rossi and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Then there are the truly unique and obscure racing timepieces like the custom F.P. Journe Vagabondage 1 commissioned to celebrate Michael Schumacher‘s seven world titles, which had remained unknown to the public for two decades until a 2024 Christie’s auction. Only time will tell what other hidden gems await our discovery.
