Some more pics of the 57S
Thank you Ed!
The Parmigiani and Bugatti Private Event at Pebble Beach was an evening of elegance and class. Held at a beautiful private home within Pebble Beach. The evening not only show-cased two very important and historically significant Bugattis, one an open top sports-version, the other an enclosed elegant saloon, but also showcased Parmigiani Fleurier timepieces that were unique watches that were so unique, it took two Bugattis to parallel them.
Here are some pictures of the Bugatti in Ed's post. Truly a magnificent car. Unrivaled magnificence.
Double fuel tanks on a most beautiful behind.
Look at the amazing beauty of this brushed steel. The steel is all hand-brushed.
Notice the leaf spring suspension.
The incredibly functional cockpit of the 57S.
Look at that! It's beautiful! And surprisingly it's driven! The owner drove it to dinner!
You've got some nice teeth there. You must have regular check ups at the dentist! Who's your dentist?
Look at the grills. Look at the metal tubes sticking out the side of the bonnet. The grill on the bonnet.
Green leather detailing...
I love airplanes. There's a certain aviation quality to this car. It looks like an old airplane. Howard Hughes would approve.
Two pieces of wood trim and everything else is metal trim.
Suspension and steering components.
Despite being brushed metal, the body still shines and shimmers.

The car is great but do you more pictures of the

I just posted part 3 with the Parmigiani Bugatti watches
Hi Tim, I just posted part 3 of the report with the Parmigiani Bugatti watches. Which version do you like? Regards, ED-209
The Bugatti Vitesse in blue is my favorite all around.
The use of high tech materials integrates nicely with the car theme and makes it actually look "fast". Kudos to the whole team and looking forward to more photographs and a test drive sometime soon. Best, Tim
The Bugatti Vitesse
Hi Tim, thanks for reading the post. My favorite color is the blue one also. Hope you have a chance to see it in person soon. Regards, ED-209
Parmigiani and Bugatti Event at Pebble Beach 2013: Part 2
Parmigiani displayed their Bugatti Super Sport watches with the PF372 hand wound movement. But before we take a look at these unique Parmigiani watches, we walked over to the adjacent display of the Bugatti Type 46. Built in 1930 this restored Bugatti is ...
The setting was beautiful
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Met some wonderful people, enjoyed the rare vintage cars and fantastic watches, and good food. It was a lot of fun. Wish you could have joined us. Regards, ED-209
An amazing car.
As Ed-209 already stated, this is a beautiful Type 46 Coupe. It has already won numerous accolades. I'm personally a huge fan of pre-war cars and have seen many Rolls Royce Phantom II vehicles, Mercedes 500K and 540K vehicles, the Maybach DS8, and other P...
Stunning Bugatti.
Thanks for sharing ED-209. Must have been a special sight in person. Best, JerryW
Parmigiani and Bugatti Event at Pebble Beach 2013: Part 3 The Watches
Working together since 2001, Parmigiani and Bugatti first introduced the Bugatti Type 370 in 2004 with a movement inside a cylindrical case that had the parts arranged like a transversal engine. I remember seeing and handling the Type 370 at a Parmigiani ...
I am not a big fan of these big round chronographs, but I always admired these
Somehow romantic Parmigiani Bugatti. I was wondering since when they existed, your text reminded me, à propos, that it is almost 10 years! I really love the concept behind these créations, and these latest offers are no exception to the rule! The Super sp...
There are a lot of similiarities
Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the comments on the watches, especially the Super Sport. Regards, ED-209
Having a really hard time picking out my favorite...
Thank you for explaining the EB logo. Now here's the problem. I really like the EB logo (no Bugatti watch should be without it IMO) but I think the definitive Bugatti watch should be the Super Sports model. But now I'm lamenting, the Super Sports watch do...
Thanks, Ed, Patrick. Great pics, very nice commentary.
almost makes me feel as if I was there! :-) The watches look great, lots of detail. TM
The event...
Thanks TM! And kudos to our friends at Parmigiani for such warm hospitality and making the trip so much fun. Regards, ED-209
Very Fortunate To Be Able To Attend
I had the good fortune to attend this event and witness these beautiful machines in person first-hand. Many thanks to Parmigiani, Bugatti, and the two friends whom I was fortunate enough to attend this event with.
