Cashed-up Australian fans of Indian Motorcycle can express their love for the brand with a range of three tribute watches valued at around $5500 from Swiss watch maker Baume & Mercier.
The Clifton Club Burt Munro Tribute, Clifton Club Scout and the Clifton Club Chief watches will be available to buy at a special launch event at the Indian Motorcycle dealership in Melbourne on 5 September 2018 and afterwards at Hardy Brothers jewellers.
The watch featured at the top of this page pays tribute to Kiwi Burt Munro whose record-breaking efforts on a 1920 Scout were immortalised in the 2005 film, The World’s Fastest Indian.
Burt’s great nephew Lee Munro will be at the launch. Lee is currently at Bonneville Speed Week attempting to crack 200mph (321.8km/h) on a modified Indian Scout.

Indian Motorcycle, Indian Motorcycle Australia and Baume & Mercier are giving away a Clifton Club Indian Burt Munro Tribute Swiss watch limited to 1967 worldwide plus a return trip to the launch party to accept the prize.
The competition is being run through the official Indian Motorcycle Australia and New Zealand Facebook page until 22 August 2018 and requires entrants to submit a creative photo of themselves with an Indian Motorcycle or product.
Swiss watch partnership
It is not the first time Baume & Mercier has got together with Indian Motorcycle with their Burt Munro tribute watch last year.
Other motorcycle manufacturers have had similar exclusive watches in recent years so devoted fans can wear their “heart” on their sleeve – or wrist!
They include a Ducati Scrambler watch in 2015 with watchmaker Tudor, a BMW GS watch, BMW boxer watch designed by Marc Jenni and a host of Harley-Davidson watches with New York company Bulova.
