WTD: Bertone Stratos LED Watch

[BertoneRen]

Hi.
I am looking for two "Stratos by Bertone" LED watches, the two sided trapezium shaped model, chromium plated.
I think the ref.no. is 01003.



I am a big fan of Bertone and their designs, especially the work Marcello Gandini did for them, and I have two of his "gems" in the garage.
So this watch would "match" one of the cars ( a Stratos replica - cannot afford the real thing and if I could I don´t think I would dare to use it much ) and also be part of the "time travel" I feel like I am taking when I am out driving them.

One watch is for me, the other one is for a friend who also is a Bertone nut and it would be so nice to give as a wedding present.

Hope that someone knows of a watch or may consider a sale.

Best regards

Welcome to the forum Rene, lets hope someone has it and wants to sell it to you.

Thanks Kasper.

Unfortenatly most of the cars in the video where sold off in 2011 http://www.rmauctions.com/AuctionResults.cfm?SaleCode=VE11
Bertone had to do it for economical reasons, http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/05/bertone-auctions-off-some-of-its-most.html but still sad that it is not possible for everyone to enjoy these gems anymore.

Still looking for the watches, so let me know if you come across one or two.

Regards

René
