You might remember the original Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti Type 370 from our original Top 10 list of car watches. The splendidly complex (and fittingly expensive) timepiece features a unique sideways-mounted manual barrel movement that displays the time on the side so as to obviate the necessity for the driver to – heaven forbid – remove his hand from the wheel to see the time. In honor of the Veyron Fbg par Hermes, only twenty of these new Faubourg editions – so named for Hermes' famous headquarters in Paris – will be offered in either brushed white gold with dark brown dial and strap or rose gold with light brown, to match the car's original colors. While it may seem like a ridiculous luxury for the rest of us, this epitome of the "if you have to ask" mantra will surely be a must-have for owners of the Veyron Fbg.

We know what you're thinking, because we're in the same lamentable position ourselves: you'd totally order up that uber-exclusive Hermes edition Veyron, but you're not a big fan of the brown and tan paint scheme. Fortunately Bugatti has heard your cries, brother, and announced the availability of new color options for the Veyron Fbg. The announcement actually came from Monterey but was quickly overshadowed, somewhat ironically, by the unveiling of the open-top Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport and the subsequent auction of its first example for $3.2 million. The unveiling of the new-tint Hermes Veyrons took place at the Quail motorsport gathering on Monterey Peninsula, where Bugatti revealed the four new color schemes available: "indigo blue and vermilion", "indigo blue and lime green", " black and garance red" and "Prussian blue and blue jean". We're not entirely sure what all these colors are, exactly, and given that Bugatti put them in quotation marks, we're not sure they're sure, either. They undoubtedly would have shown us pictures of all four, but given that these 1.5 million euro hyper-exotics are made to order and available only from the end of the year, we doubt examples of each color option have been made yet. Of course they all come decked out with the H-pattern grille, eight-spoke wheels, lavish calfskin interior and exclusive package of specially-made Hermes luggage.
