Coinciding with the release of Fast 9 next week, the Fast & Furious film franchise is partnering with watchmaker Jacob & Co. on a limited edition watch that draws inspiration from the movies.
The Twin Turbo Furious is themed after a fuel gauge, and contains a reference to the first race in the franchise between Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger R/T and Brian O’Connor’s Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Only nine of these watches will be produced, as a nod to this being the ninth film in the franchise, and they will sell for US$580,000 each.
The Twin Turbo Furious follows in a similar trend of high-end watches being made in partnership with major media franchises, such as Audemars Piguet's 'Black Panther' watch after the Marvel Comics character.
As for the film itself, Fast 9 is set to release in theatres on June 24.
