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.

Not sure if OT or not, mods please delete if this does not add value to the discussion.

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?

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