Alfonso Minondo

Up for auction is a very rare A. Dunhill Ltd London Wheel Watch Chronograph, a highly distinctive and collectible chronograph inspired by classic British motoring heritage. This model is limited to only 500 pieces worldwide and is one of the most characterful designs ever produced by Dunhill.

The watch features a 42mm monobloc stainless steel case with a unique engine-turned rotating bezel and chronograph pushers, directly inspired by the iconic knock-on / knock-off wheel spinners found on high-end sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s. This clever and tactile design element gives the watch a strong mechanical presence and sets it apart from conventional chronographs.

The dial design further reinforces the automotive theme:

- Hands and indices are styled after 1960s sports car instrumentation
- Sub-dials echo the spinner motif, a signature element of Dunhill’s Motorities collection

The Motorities line was introduced in the early 2000s as a tribute to Dunhill’s original motoring business, dating back to the turn of the 19th century, when Alfred Dunhill supplied luxury accessories for early automobile enthusiasts.
