Most people driving a modern vehicle today do not think twice about their car’s clock. It is, most likely, a simple cluster of pixels on a screen, surrounded by all manner of apps and features. However, in the decades before today’s elaborate infotainment systems, a car’s clock was a much more important part of its interior design. Today, the idea of a car’s clock as an object of style and beauty mostly survives in the world of ultra-luxury machines, where an elegant timepiece is a crucial aspect of the vehicle’s look and feel.
