It was a crash that shook the world of entertainment back in 2017, and Richard Hammond has a momento sitting in his clubhouse that constantly reminds him just how big a shunt his Rimac crash was. In this video, Richard gives us a tour of his 'shelf of things', including numerous artefacts from his Top Gear and Grand Tour escapades, the pick of the bunch being a charred, broken Rolex watch.

for anyone curious about the bass, i did a bit of researching on it. it appears to be a custom-spec Status Shark, based on the pickguard design and the headstock logo you can more easily see in TG S20E1. i can find pictures of a 4 string model with specs almost matching this one, but i couldn't find an exact match.

We need more horological videos from the three watch-nerds whom just also happen to like cars and gin, and found a way to make a career out of it together... Edit: That Rolex Sea-Dweller has a water resistance of 1200 meters, too bad it's heat resistance isn't as impressive... Still, what a great memorabilia from such a traumatic moment.
