Here is a watch that is not satisfied with marking time: it screams it, pushes it beyond the limit, makes it vibrate with an almost surreal energy. A Sorna Jacky Ickx Easy-Rider, a tribute to an era when racing cars were flying coffins and watches were declarations of personality rather than precision instruments.
Let's look at it: the gold case has that cheeky '70s swagger, like an old Grand Prix poster printed on yellowed paper. The black dial, with red and white details, has something almost cartoonish: it looks like the dashboard of a miniature racing car, a declaration of speed for those who, perhaps, have never exceeded the limits on the motorway but love the idea of doing so.
The buttons are solid, markedly mechanical, like those of an old rally chronograph, designed for fingers that smell of petrol and adrenaline. The two-tone perforated strap looks like a pilot's glove, a detail that oscillates between kitsch and ingenious.
And then there's the name: Easy-Rider. A paradox, because this piece is not at all "easy" to wear. It's big, it's flashy, it's a statement of intent. You wear it and you automatically become a character: the man who knows something that others don't, the guy who loves vintage not because it's fashionable, but because time passes in a different way on him.
Works? Sure, but it also works as a warning: life isn't just regular tick-tocks and predictable evenings. Every now and then you need something that breaks the pattern. This watch is one of those things.
