JM 46 HERITAGE RACING WATCH
Nissan teamed up with Denmark-based REC Watches to celebrate a friendship 50 years in the making. And together they paid homage to the legendary racing driver John Morton. Morton won the Trans-Am 2.5 Championship back-to-back in a BRE Datsun 240Z. He put the Nissan Motor Company on the U.S racing map.
THE PROJECT
I made the special secret team tasked with crafting this beauty of a watch. I call it secret because everything about it—the design, concept development, and production—was a closely guarded secret.
JM 46’s uniqueness is captured in an unassuming yet provocative design, a balance that the team went to great lengths to achieve. The watch had to have the 70s aesthetics with a modernist undertone.
