F1/Carbon GMT concept watch by John Pszeniczny

Inspired by the thrilling world of Formula 1 racings, an industrial designer John Pszeniczny has created a marvelous piece of time-telling art. Called F1/Carbon GMT, the watch consists (or would have consisted, since it’s clearly only a 3D rendering and the timepiece never existed in a physical form) of carbon fiber, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal.

Looking like a derivative of another John’s work, the Luna Watch, the F1/Carbon GMT sports the same toroid shape, looking like a Formula 1 tire for a rainy weather.

If ever built, the watch would tell current time at all of 18 F1 circuits. Being a sporty watch, the F1/Carbon GMT also features a built in lap timer function as well as a stopwatch.

I guess, this watch will be of great success if John manages to sell the design to some sport watch manufacturer.

    Neat looking, but I can’t imagine anyone manufacturing something like it any time soon.

    Frankly, I can’t see significant technical problems in putting the watch on to assembly line.
