Live on Kickstarter, MOTOCHRONO is a Driver’s Watch Inspired by Classic Motorsport.
-- MOTOCHRONO, the precision-engineered driver’s watch inspired by the golden era of motorsport, is currently live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.
Designed for those who measure life in miles and moments, MOTOCHRONO captures the essence of classic race cars through its fusion of functionality, craftsmanship, and performance-driven design. Every detail reflects the spirit of the 1980s racing era— when speed, engineering, and aesthetics reached perfect harmony on the track.
“My son and I are both passionate drivers. We spend a lot of time on the road, on the racetrack, and in the workshop, wrenching on cars,” says co-founder Peter Hackner on the inspiration behind the father and son project. “Time plays a crucial role in motorsport, yet most watches inspired by racing are made to look fast, not to serve the driver behind the wheel. We wanted to design a watch that truly embodies what a driver needs—both visually and functionally.”
Key Features of MOTOCHRONO:
- Driver-Focused Design — Inspired by the Group C race cars that dominated Le Mans in the 1980s, MOTOCHRONO delivers track-ready readability and control.
- Motorsport Heritage — A design language rooted in the harmony of form and function that defined racing’s most iconic machines.
- Precision Engineering — Crafted with the meticulous attention to detail found in performance cars, emphasizing durability, legibility, and precision.
- Modern Mechanics — Features a robust automatic movement and high-performance materials for lasting reliability on and off the road.
- Timeless Aesthetic — A sleek, balanced case design that embodies the elegance and power of classic motorsport.
Every element of MOTOCHRONO is designed with purpose—just like a finely tuned race car. The watch features a precision-milled 316L stainless steel case for strength and elegance, capped with a domed sapphire crystal for durability and clarity under all angles. Inside sits a Miyota 9039 automatic movement, offering robust, battery-free mechanical performance. The strap is crafted from premium leather with automotive-inspired contrast stitching, giving a nod to classic race interiors. The case design is optimized for a driver’s viewing angle, making it easier to read at a glance behind the wheel.
“MOTOCHRONO is more than a watch—it’s a reflection of every road we’ve traveled together,” adds product designer and co-founder Marcus Hackner. “Each piece honors the rich history of motorsport and the craftsmanship behind it. This is for those who value engineering, precision, and the thrill of the journey.”
