An unforgettable journey through Southern California's automotive culture. On October 17, 2026, WORN & DRIVEN brought together an extraordinary collection of supercars, passionate collectors, and watch enthusiasts for the second edition of Willow Springs Reimagined.

Beginning at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Orange County, the rally made its way to The Reserve in Glendale for an exclusive gathering before continuing toward the legendary Willow Springs International Raceway. From a Martini-liveried Porsche 918 Spyder and a McLaren Solus GT to historic racing machinery, the day celebrated the intersection of automotive heritage, performance, and community.

More than a rally, it was a celebration of the people, machines, and shared passion that define WORN & DRIVEN.

This is the story of how a collectible stopped being one of twenty-five and became simply, “my watch.”

What began with McLarens on the road evolved into conversations over breakfast, champagne, and timepieces. In the end, the machines brought everyone together, the watches marked the moment, and the people became the story.
