This one-of-10 watch winder is made from the engine of a Bugatti Veyron 16-cylinder engine block and it costs more than most cars.
Created from an original Bugatti engine, the watch winder is finished with customizable details and is a real piece of art.
With just 10 ever made, the slick-looking watch winder is as rare as it is remarkable.
But if you fancied snagging yourself one, you’d need to part with a whopping $115,000 – more than the price of a 2024 Porsche Cayenne S Coupe, for example.

The watch winder is incredibly rare
If you’re the sort of person who collects luxury watches – such as Jay Z, who splashed out on a $340k Bugatti Tourbillon timepiece, or Drake who owns a staggering 140 Rolexes – then you may be in the market for a watch winder.
And if you want to ensure your watch winder is every bit as fancy as the watches it will house, then the Bugatti Veyron W16 engine-inspired one would be a smart choice.
The limited-edition winders were originally sold back in 2005 for $115,000 a piece – but it’s thought they could be even more valuable these days.
If you can get your hands on one in the first place, of course.
Just 10 were made for VIP Bugatti Veyron owners as a ‘a testament to unparalleled luxury and engineering’, according to DK Engineering.
It’s made from a real Bugatti Veyron engine
Each of the block’s 16 combustion chambers has been repurposed as an individually adjustable and programable watch, lined with soft, high-end goatskin leather to ensure your precious timepieces aren’t damaged.
A touch-panel display unit has been embedded into the block, allowing you to easily control each chamber by changing the RPM settings and direction.
It is also compatible with both 24 hour and 12 hour formats.
“This rare item offers a blend of automotive heritage and horological precision that is virtually unmatched,” DK Engineering said in a post on Instagram.
“Crafted from an authentic Bugatti Veyron engine block and finished with customizable details, it stands as the ultimate collector’s piece for those who appreciate the intersection of artistry, innovation, and exclusivity.”
Fancy. Maybe one to pop on the list for Santa?
