Time to Race is the book about a journey through a period of over 100 years with drivers, legendary circuits and watches as protagonists. A story to understand the close ties that have characterised two often united worlds, such as car racing and watches.

The watches worn by Mike Hawthorn, Stirling Moss and Carroll Shelby. The personal watches of Enzo Ferrari. The history of watches marking time at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The personal collection of Alex Zanardi watches. Ayrton Senna's personal watches. Almost 90 racing personalities and their watches.

The great racetracks and the watches dedicated to them. The great timekeepers and the history of the watch manufacturers directly involved in the races. Many specimens, transported back in time thanks to meticulous research, with the collaboration of some of the world's most renowned collectors, photographed to best represent the characteristics of the movement, case and dial of each specimen.

Time to Race is the complete work on the long road that races and watches have travelled together. Written by Cesare Maria Mannucci and John Goldberger. Forewords by Piero Ferrari and TK Mak.
