Automobiles and wristwatches have been closely linked from the beginning, both coming into prominence around the turn of the century and evolving considerably during the first half of the 1900s — furthered even more when Heuer made the first patented dashboard chronograph in 1911. However, it was the heyday of auto racing in the ‘50s and ‘60s that cemented the link for good.

The Heuer Monaco Immortalized by Steve McQueen in ‘Le Mans’ Is Heading to Auction

New York City, NY

Robb Report















	It may not be the Paul Newman Daytona (which sold for $17.7 million in 2017), but it’s a closely related grail-piece for lovers of motor sport and watches. A blue-dialed Heuer Monaco worn by Steve McQueen during filming of the 1971 classic film Le Mans is hitting the block at Sotheby’s on December 11 at its Important Watches auction in New York. The watch is estimated to sell for between $500,000 and $1 million, but could go much higher than that, given previous records for similar pieces. This is far and above the prices you’ll pay for vintage Heuer chronographs...

In 1981, pop-music sensation Andy Gibb was at the top of the charts. The younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, a.k.a. The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series. But after the relationship ended, Andy's life, already challenged by substance abuse, did as well. This is their tragic story.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Many luxury brands, such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini and even Ferrari itself, have fallen for SUVs because of their high profitability. But there is one manufacturer, apart from McLaren, that still resists these 'siren songs' and it is none other than Bugatti. The French firm seems to have no intention...

One of the most common discourses surrounding the automobile is whether or not cars can be considered art. The answer is that obviously they are, you idiots, but that’s besides the point. Perhaps the most compelling argument for car as art is the Lamborghini Miura, widely regarded as one the most beautiful cars ever made. One owner agreed so much that he kept his brown Miura in his living room for four decades, and now it’s going up for auction through Gooding & Company.

Ford announced the 2025 Mustang 60th Anniversary Package back in April this year, but today it’s adding a wrinkle to said package. Brittany Blue is joining as one of the possible colors you can spec, bringing the total to four with the initial three being Wimbledon White, Race Red, and Vapor Blue.

Given the fact that it was intended to replace the Ford Mustang, it isn’t terribly surprising that the Ford Probe didn’t exactly get off to the best start when it originally debuted. Massive backlash from pony car fans ensured that wasn’t the case, and the Ford Probe wound up a decent success story, sticking around from the 1989-1997 model years and selling in solid quantities for a sporty coupe. Today, we see quite a few nice examples of this model pop up for sale on a regular basis, and that now includes this 1989 Ford Probe GT Turbo.
