FASTBACK DRIFT MERCURY
The Gorilla Fastback Drift Mercury: A Symphony of Heritage and Craftsmanship
Inspired by the iconic “Lead Sled” Ford Mercurys of the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Fastback Drift Mercury fuses audacious design with modern finesse.
With a mesmerizing wandering hours’ complication by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, this limited edition timepiece boasts a serene blue finish on the base plate, contrasted with natural anodized elements and a robust Fastback case. Harmonized by a blue FKM hybrid strap with black Cordura inserts, the Fastback Drift Mercury, available in just 50 exclusive pieces worldwide, is where time seamlessly drifts between the bold elegance of yesteryears and today’s cutting-edge craftsmanship.
