BMW and Ferrari (First GP and now Panerai....) should have gone in that direction as well. I guess they have quite some financial resources to design their own stuff. @Ivan:

BMW (design department) should have been able to design a nice watch themselves rather than picking a model from an existing watch brand. The Audi design department just did a nice example. However I have my doubts anyhow about the design department of BMW, looking at their latest car models. It IS different, that's right. A design is ready when you can't take anything off anymore, not if you can't add anything to it anymore. I've never seen so many useless lines, stripes and design forms on a car before than the current BMW models. Probably out of inspiration for the moment.
