Default Unlock your Mercedes with the silver arrow concept watch

Right out of a James Bond movie, you can look just as cool when you open or close your Mercedes-Benz with help from a stylish timepiece.

The brainchild of French designer Fabien Cacheux (the same designer who brought us the Bugatti Galibier GT concept watch ), the Silver Arrow concept watch is his latest creation, which draws its inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

The Silver Arrow is a stunning and timeless work of wearable art that incorporates a whirl, a power reserve, and a tachometer needle’s three star-shaped reflecting the emblem of the brand. Its case is mounted on a machined titanium neoprene bracelet that opens and closes just like the butterfly doors of the Mercedes’ AMG SLS.

But the coolest feature on this watch has to be its Open/Close buttons that surround the ring, which allow you to lock and unlock the car remotely, much like the Aston Martin AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watch. It looks so good, even Bond would approve.

Oh wait, it allows you open/close the door only? Does it allow you to start the car also?
If not, then yeah, cool concept indeed but pointless indeedy.

Comfort access packages/options take this watch from super neat to complete **** accessory.

However it would be neat to have this work instead of the key for comfort access.

Is this an additional option on top of Keyless-Go, not the biggest fan of push button starting but MB needs to make this standard

I'm surprised a lot more newly-built cars don't have it as an option, and not just MB, Lexus, BMW, etc...

I don't quite understand all the hate?

Pretty cool looking watch....if it's included without an upcharge.


If it cost more...it's a pretty lame upgrade.

not that more cars should offer it as an option, but on a MB E-class with a sticker price of above 40k, you would figure considering the price and class of car, it would have it, but you need to add 2 option packages to the car which increases the price $6000, seems extreme for such a small option and considering the base price of the car.
