Meistersinger produces three limited edition timepieces in celebration of the MG Marque

The foresight and determination of an ardent German MG enthusiast, Ernst Graaf, have resulted in a unique trio of quality timepieces, the design of which echoes the distinctive shape and structure of a 1950s MG TD radiator grille. The watches have been superbly crafted
by Meistersinger and are available online for £1,405, including VAT and free delivery within mainland Europe.

Graaf's love affair with the MG marque began with an Olde English White 1964 MGB he ran as a student, and was later cemented by an inexpensive quartz watch modelled on the grille of an MG TD. When attempts to replace the worn timepiece with a newer, MG-branded one came to nought, he set about creating his own. The MG Car Club assisted the cause, as did British Motor Heritage, which was sufficiently impressed with the project to license the use of the MG logo.

The watches feature top quality Swiss movements housed in stainless steel cases that are water resistant to a depth of 5 bar. The dials are protected by hardened mineral glass and the Cordovan straps are crafted from smooth horse leather. There is a choice of three different face/strap combinations appropriately named - 'Abingdon', 'Cecil Kimber' and 'Cream Cracker', in celebration of the MG factory, the company's Founder, and the most famous of the Works MGs respectively. To ensure a suitable degree of exclusivity, production is being limited to around 100 watches per annum.

"We are delighted to be able offer these superb timepieces for sale and to have played a small part in their development," said John Yea, MD, British Motor Heritage.
