Talking Rare Cars And Even Rarer Watches With Putnam Leasing CEO Steve Posner

Rarely do two worlds collide as often and as kindly as watches and cars. Aside from the obvious practicality of clocks in cars or the history chronographs on the racetrack, enthusiasts passionate about automobiles seem to be naturally drawn to timepieces as well. Whether it’s an appreciation for the mechanical engineering or the love of good design, it is undeniable that the two industries are kindred spirits. Case in point: Steve Posner, CEO of Putnam Leasing.

Steve Posner started out in the car industry working for luxury car dealerships and leasing companies, delivering cars to customers. In the decades since, he’s become a mainstay in the exotic and vintage car leasing business at Miller Motorcars and Putnam Leasing. It’s an area of expertise that probably has its roots in Posner’s having owned and sold hundreds of cars over the years. It’s also enabled him to collect more than a few very extraordinary timepieces.
