Footnotes

The name "Nina Rindt" is a tribute to supermodel and wife of Formula 1 driver Jochen Rindt, who tragically died during practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1970. Nina was often seen wearing this particular model trackside, and the watch has become a symbol of both her and her late husband's legacy in the motorsport world. This connection to racing and the fact that the watch was worn by an important figure in motorsport history adds to its cultural significance.
