    0-60

    From Car & Driver's 60th anniversary issue. Pretty clever--no idea what the brand is, although it does appear to be Swiss.

    Very cool!
    Thought the little bottle was the passenger's hip flask, but see that it was ink for that split-time pen - ingenious!
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    See the article in the OP - the means by which the watch ingeniously records split-times when you press the button :-)

    Wait, the pen does that or the watch does that?

    By squirting ink (removable) on the dial each time the secondary button is pressed, you get a record of all the split times, which you then write down with a pen. Violà.

    See what looks like a 3rd hand within the 'watch' .....

    So you have to open it up to clean the dial between "events"?
