ST. PETERSBURG, FL - September 29, 2007: Sparkle, finesse and elegance are found within the pages of this month's issue of the duPont REGISTRY A Buyers Gallery of Fine Automobiles. Unlike other months, the most powerful cars are not the only items featured that will rev readers' engines. Collaborations between automakers and watches can be seen exclusively in the duPont REGISTRY A Buyers Gallery of Fine Watches within the pages of this month's issue. Such partnerships include Kobold Watch Company with Sir Stirling Moss (Formula-One Racing Legend), Kevin Harvick (NASCAR racer) and Land Rover, and Glashutte Original and the Senator Meissen piece.

"The car enthusiast who is taken aback by the exhilaration and shine of a new ride is often captivated by the details the bezel and chronograph of a watch create," says duPont REGISTRY Publisher Tom duPont. "People who enjoy the finer things in life are drawn to watches – a status symbol and an elegant accessory for their wrist."

Famous relationships between car and watch companies have often included Breitling and Bentley, Parmigiani and Bugatti, and Girard Perregaux and Ferrari. Jaeger LeCoultre and Aston Martin have formed a technologically advanced partnership creating a wristwatch that will actually lock, unlock and start the new DBS coupe - a revolutionary collaboration. Those who enjoy the precision and intricate aspects of cars can also marvel at the detail of the watches' face and band, dials and chronographs.
