Carbonfibre is renowned for its high strength combined with light weight so it’s the obvious choice of material for a chess set, right?

Autodromo Prototipo Brian Redman DLC US$775
Autodromo’s young, Brooklyn-based founder Bradley Price says he’s surprised and delighted that Australia is his third biggest market after the US and the UK.
But when his motorsport-inspired watches are this credible and affordable, it’s not that surprising that sensible buyers here prefer them to Hublots which cost as much as a house.
This limited edition celebrates Brian Redman, one of Price’s heroes from the glory days of endurance racing. The dial echoes the colours of the Porsche 908 in which Redman won the Nurburgring 1000km race in 1969, and the beautiful packaging includes a book signed by him.
Just 50 watches are available with this black case. If you’re not as quick as Brian, check out the rest of the Autodromo range.
Hublot Ferrari Techframe 70 years GBP £105,000
Ferrari’s watch partner Hublot has produced a special model for its 70th anniversary this year. It was sketched by Ferrari’s Head of Design Flavio Manzoni, and engineered by Hublot near Geneva.
Inside there’s an ‘engine’ as complex and clever as a Ferrari’s: a manual-winding tourbillon movement with a five-day power reserve and a single-button chronograph. This is super high-end watchmaking, with a price to match.
It comes in three materials: titanium, ‘King Gold’, or ultra-light and strong PEEK carbonfibre. The last option perhaps feels most appropriate.
Just 70 watches are available in each material, and despite the utterly insane price they’ll sell out as fast as the 70th anniversary LaFerrari Aperta.
