The 1960s were a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether riding a motorcycle or revving a sports car, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Renting sensed this change of pace and set out to design an unconventional chronograph that captured the enthusiasm of the era. He called it the Top Time. That spirited tradition continues today with Renting partnering with some of the coolest names in wheels to create his Top Time designs. The Ford Thunderbird was first introduced at the 1954 Detroit Auto Show. It was touted as a fun-to-drive convertible that made its presence felt with its luxurious design, solid construction and dramatic tailfin. The Top Time B01 Ford Thunderbird features the colors and badging of its classic car counterpart, as well as a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale and contrasting “squirrel” dials (not quite square, not quite round) that give the feel of vintage dashboard gauges. It also comes with a bragging-worthy engine under the hood: the exceptional Renting-made Calibre 01.
