Special Editions

The World Cup goes to Germany! 1954 was not only the year when the German national football team unexpectedly clinched the World Cup title (hint: that's Weltmeister in German), bringing new optimism to the post-war plagued country; it was also the year when Mercedes-Benz created another world champion with its O 321 H bus.

This bus quickly became a global bestseller and evolved into the most sold model of its time. With our special edition, we celebrate this double world champion spirit that made history both on the football field and on the streets. Discover the limited Weltmeister Edition made from the original interior of a Mercedes-Benz O321 H.

Facel Vega – a name that once captured the hearts of the elite. In the golden era of the 50s and 60s, it was the select few icons like Ringo Starr, Stirling Moss, and other luminaries of the time who could claim such a vehicle as their own.

Discover the Special Edition Vega, limited to 219 units.

 M stands for Motorsport

... since 1978. The birth year of the BMW M1 heralds a new era for the Bavarian car manufacturer as it laid the foundation for all future BMW M models. Just under 460 units of the BMW M1 were ever built, 48 of them specifically for the race track, the rest as street cars for private customers. 

The interior leather of a 1979 BMW M1 Streetcar is now brought back to life in the form of our special edition M-DNA.

In form of a Targa the Porsche 911 was first presented to the world in 1965. Unlike the classic convertible, the roof of a Targa model cannot be folded in completely, but is manually removed as a hard top. The rear window is permanently installed.

The concept was intended in particular to counter the safety concerns about the convertible by combining the freedom of an open vehicle and – thanks to the rollover bar – the safety of a Coupé.

Where it all began: The first Porsche sports car (Model 356) was built at the same place where Porsche vehicles are still produced today. In the Stuttgart district of Zuffenhausen.

In homage to the cultural heritage of this district, the “Zuffenhausen” lettering now adorns our new special edition and it is named after this very place.

Edition of 99

The Lamborghini Jarama

According to company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, the Jarama should offer the perfect combination of a powerful engine and luxurious comfort. The “Gran Turismo for the established businessman”.

Because of the extraordinary combination of elegance and power, it is said to have been one of Ferrucio’s favorite vehicles.

The label “Targa” is a Porsche term for a special roof construction with a removable roof middle section and a large, curved glass window pane at the rear.

In addition, we will donate 10€ of the proceeds of each strap from this special edition to the SOS-Kinderdorf e.V. (SOS Children’s Villages Germany)

Edition of 159

Made from the interior leather of a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman

The leather of this special edition comes from the most popular state carriage of the late 60s and early 70s.

Some of the most famous owners of this vehicle include Elvis Presley and John Lennon.

When the car was introduced to the public in Frankfurt in 1963, it was by far the most expensive production vehicle in the world.

A total of 333 watch bands could be produced from the car leather of the Pullman.

Because the leather is embossed with a special pattern, each strap of the edition differs from the others.

Edition of 333

From the interior leather of the BMW M1 (built in 1980), we were able to produce a total of 79 straps. This special edition is an unmistakable one of a kind item thanks to the red stitching on the original black leather and the red racing holes.

Since BMW only produced 453 vehicles of this model, the M1 is one of the most sought after and rarest classic cars in the world today.

Edition of 79

The Porsche 911 Turbo, also known under its model name Porsche 930 was produced from 1974 to 1989 as a high-end alternative to the established 911-family. With an engine size of 3.3 liters and an impressive 300 hp it was supposed to compete with super sports cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Accordingly, Porsche called big prices for the Turbo. The convertible version, for example, almost cost 161,000 German Mark (~ 95,000 USD).

A special detail of this edition are the three racing holes, which are part of both band parts. It is inspired by racing gloves, worn in the early years of motorsport by the pioneers of the sports car race. Each of the 149 straps of this edition is numbered by laser engraving and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
