F1 75 Live, a first-of-its-kind celebration marking the sport’s 75th anniversary, brought together every team to unveil their latest race cars before a packed O2 Arena filled with passionate F1 fans.

 

As always, Formula 1 isn’t just about speed—it’s also about style. And nothing showcases that better than the timepieces adorning the drivers’ wrists. 

 

From luxury chronographs to cutting-edge tourbillons, the evening was as much about high-end watches as it was about high-octane action.
