The SPX DeLorean
The SPX DeLorean is a limited-edition timepiece crafted from John Z. DeLorean’s personal DMC-12 company car.
A true ‘time machine’ to the 1980s, this iconic vehicle was produced by the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) in Northern Ireland. However, fewer than 9,000 units were built before the company faced bankruptcy.
The DMC-12 became a symbol of an era, its story woven with striking design, cinematic fame, and a dramatic downfall, all of which contributed to its enduring global fanbase among car enthusiasts.
Drawing inspiration from the car that took audiences ‘Back to the Future,’ we’ve distilled its timeless design, distinct aesthetic, and the compelling, controversial history into the exclusive SPX DeLorean timepiece.

Rise and Fall
The DeLorean Dream
Envisioned by the trailblazing John Z. DeLorean, the DMC-12 took six years to evolve from concept to reality, blending innovative engineering with bold marketing.
DeLorean, often compared to today’s Elon Musk, stood out for his magnetic personality and strategic brilliance, qualities that once powered his past successes and were expected to drive the DMC-12’s success.
Automotive History
A Lasting Legacy
In the wake of a tumultuous chapter in automotive history, the 8,975 DMC-12s produced faced a significant challenge for parts and service following the closure of the original DeLorean Motor Company.
Stephen Wynne, then running an independent auto service center, recognized the Renault drivetrain and other shared components common among these vehicles.
The Design Challenge
Timeless Tribute
The SPX DeLorean timepiece is a masterful tribute to the rich legacy of DeLorean history, elegantly capturing the essence of this iconic story through its thoughtfully crafted features.
An authentic component from one of John DeLorean’s original cars serves as the outer ring of the watch face, ingeniously transformed into minute markers with finely engraved lines.

Splitit installment payments at 0% interest: How does it work exactly?
Splitit allows you to split the total payment over a maximum of twelve months using your credit card. This service is free, involves no credit checks or applications, and means you can choose to split your payment into monthly installments.
To use this payment method all you need a credit card with a sufficient amount of available credit. Splitit authorizes the total order value—but don’t worry, this is not taken in full when you complete the purchase. At the time of shipping, only the first installment will be charged to your credit card. A payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during for up to 30 days after placing your order.
After each monthly payment, the amount held from your available balance will be reduced to the new remaining balance (the held amount might appear as “pending”). To ensure that the authorization of your credit card is valid for the entire payment period, the authorization will be renewed every 21 days.
Are there any extra fees involved?
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest, or hidden fees of any kind.
Which credit cards does Splitit support?
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa cards. Debit cards and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?
You must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase for up to 30 days after placing the order. The average authorization typically drops off within 5-10 working days. The authorized amount will be charged only in the event that a monthly payment is declined (the authorization hold might appear as “pending” on your credit card bill).
What happens if I return the product?
If you decide to not keep the ordered item(s), upon return of the items we will reimburse the installments that have already been paid and cancel the outstanding payments.
When and where can I choose the number of installments for my payment plan?
