Yes gentle reader, the watch brand driven by automotive design have finally given us a chronograph. And it's pretty bitchin'!

As with the models that came before it, the Thunderbolt is a wonderful melange of various materials - primarily titanium with some aluminum and ceramic thrown in for good measure.

An open work dial is treated with enough lume to make it light up like a Christmas tree. And under the hood there is something particularly special attached to the ETA 2892-A2... a chronograph module from none other than Dubois & Dépraz -
