Cam Wolf writing for Time Magazine said it was a " pleasant surprise " to see the rap artist Kanye West wearing a vintage Crash watch while giving chat show host David Letterman a tour of his home . Last weekend, he appeared at Raptors-Warriors game two in a leather jacket and a very pragmatic timepiece choice. He said West had eschewed more predictable choices such as Louis Philippe , Rolex or Richard Mille 's sports watches . Legend has it that the original Crash , introduced by the firm in 1967 , takes its inspiration from a watch recovered from a wrecked car , the timepiece having survived but melted into a strange shape .
