In 1964 Ford launched a new age of American sports cars: The Ford Mustang. Although viewed by many as the “original” Muscle Car, the Mustang didn´t start out as one. Lee Iacocca, Vice President of Ford at the time, wanted to give the American market a car which weighed under 2.500 lbs. priced at under $2.500.

The very same day the Mustang was introduced in 1964, Ford dealerships sold a record-breaking 22.000 Mustangs. The Mustang was an instant hit, and Ford sold more than 400.000 Mustangs in their very first year of production, making the Mustang an indisputable success.

In 1967 the Mustang received a major facelift with the introduction of the new ´67 Fastback, regarded by many as one of the finest looking American sports cars ever made. And if the legacy-of-cool was not already apparent to everyone, it was further cemented in 1968 with the release of the iconic “Bullitt” film, featuring Steve McQueen blazing a ´68 Fastback through the steep streets of San Francisco.

Still, after a tumultuous period including numerous radical design changes to the Mustang during the 70s, 80s and 90s, it was not until 2005 that Ford would go back to the roots of the original Mustang design. The new S197 design was a direct testament to the classic 60s Mustang, and this highly popular throwback styling has defined the modern Mustang ever since.

The P51-03 is a limited edition timepiece made from salvaged 1st/2nd generation (1965-1978) Ford Mustangs.

Danish Design.
Limited to 930 pieces.

From materials to design, the P51 is a faithful tribute to one of the most significant American muscle cars ever made, the Ford Mustang.

Featuring a handcrafted dial made from recycled Mustang parts, bearing its own marks and imperfections, each and every P51 timepiece is visually unique from the next.

A reference to the VIN and production year of the recycled vehicle are incorporated on the dial at 10 o’clock, while the accompanying storycard includes an in-depth history of the specific car from which your watch is made.

The “P51” Collection name is a reference to the inception of the Ford Mustang, as it is now commonly accepted that the vehicles designer, John Najjar, named the vehicle after the WW2 Mustang planes.

In 2016, the P51 Collection made the Wall Street Journal’s Top 5 list of watches under $5’000.

On the wrist, the P51 combines bold looks with superior comfort thanks to the short lugs and flexible double calf leather strap.
