Breitling Breitling for Bentley
A powerful and heady marriage of two brilliant dynasties, the all Swiss heritage of the chronograph king, Breitling, allied to the uber-British car marque Bentley, known for its high-end status and sophistication, and the result is a standout sub-brand with a style and cachet all of its own. Bentley have an avowed passion for high performance which goes hand in hand with the love of the open road in supreme comfort, safety and power. High class and high performance come together. The Breitling calibers are the ‘engines’ that power the exclusive designs in the Breitling for Bentley collection. Made in the Breitling Chronometrie complex, an ultra-modern facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, they are COSC certified precision ‘engines’ that meet the exacting standards that Bentley apply to their own science behind their very exclusive engines built in Crewe, England. To qualify for the highly coveted COSC standard each movement must complete 15 tests in 15 days and meet 8 stringent measures on each test. A Bentley car is a work of art, its silhouette a thing of beauty, honed by hours of painstaking refinement and care. The same artisanal approach goes into the Breitling for Bentley collection by its dedicated team of highly trained professionals in the small hill town where it is based. Assembled by hand, polished by hand and producing authentic hand made luxury. Unique to Breitling for Bentley are some technical features such as the circular slide rule Variable Tachometer and the ‘30 second chronograph ‘inspired by a Breitling patent in 1926 that gives highly legible and accurate readings to the nearest eighth of a second.
