The MHD Type 3 automatic watch, which NWC magazine has been following for some months during its development, is now available for pre-order.

Price is £745 inc VAT and you get a 40mm case watch, with a 1920s Bugatti style design – we love that motorsport style grille on the case. There is also a power reserve on the dial, plus an overall clocks/dashboard vibe, all of which help to make this a winner when it comes to looks.

Inside you will find the humble Miyota automatic movement, so it is an expensive watch for the `engine’ featured. You have to love the details like the Italian leather strap and the fact that it is a limited edition of just 100 pieces. Truly a one-off design that mixes retro motoring with modern minimalism, you can find out more here.
