Motorcycles have this notable reputation with thrill-seekers, and it is pretty understandable. If ever a vehicle exudes an air of confidence and freedom, the motorcycle is it. The motorcycle perfectly fits that image of liberation and freedom that appeals to free-spirited souls.
Watches can also share some similarities with motorcycles. Both appreciate the intricacy of moving parts, mechanism, and precision. First, of course, you want a watch that accentuates your passion for motorcycles. This list of motorcycle-inspired watches is dedicated to the designers who are able to express the connection between bikes and watchmaking and the to bikers who appreciate fine watchmaking.

There are five different Seiko Spirit Guigiaro: black and red, black and orange, black and yellow, black and blue, and gray and orange. As you would have guessed, this is a limited-edition timepiece.
