Am I the only one wondering where the black keys went? Any piano expert here who can shed some light on the missing keys?
Absolutely love the design by the way.

I think the watch is made by Jacob & Co with a license from Bugatti.

Re: Surprising non-car stuff that auto brands make

1 question. Things like :
  • Perfumes by car brands like Merc Ferrari etc.
  • Watches by Bugatti, Ferrari, etc.
  • Wallets by many such car brands.
  • Eyewears, Tee shirts & Key chains.
  • Special edition of some mobile phones mostly Porsche and Ferrari.

are just rebranded items from some other brands coming out with new logos at 10x price, or do they really involve in the development of these items at any stage?

Fiat tractors. Have seen one in an exhibition, will try to find the picture. That too is an orange tractor with the Fiat logo from the distant past.

Yes they are. For example Ferrari shoes are Puma with Ferrari branding.

Re: Surprising non-car stuff that auto brands make

While Honda is a beloved automobile manufacturer, they also specialize in producing jets. The Honda HA-420 HondaJet can be purchased at a dealer near you.

This aircraft is meant to be used as a private jet for business practices and has been in production since 2003 even though the jet had been in development and wind tunnel testing since the 1980s. The HondaJet seats six passengers and features a range of 1,653 miles. The HondaJet will set potential buyers back $3.5 million.

I am not an expert on these business jets, but I have flown as a passenger a number of them. This one, I actually flew! Well, sort of, I was a guest of Honda at some air show whilst we lived in the USA. With a pilot license they let you sit in the right hand seat for a while!

The Hondajet was quite the breakthrough when it hit the market. It has continued to be developed further and further.

Have a look what my favourite aviation magazine has to say about it

Jeroen, we are in familiar territory. Honda makes boats and OBMs. I have seen quite a few Yamaha and Suzuki OBMs around during my regular surveys but not much Honda vessels or OBMs.

I had to look up and I find that Honda is in Marine sector too. They have their centre console and dual console, SeaBrook brand series pleasure crafts fitted with Honda OBMs.
