Breitling Bentley GT "Ice" Review

Written by admin on October 5, 2011 – 7:43 pm -

By: Andrew Christian Breitling will present special all-white 'Ice' versions of the Breitling Bentley GT and Breitling Bentley GT Racing chronographs at Baselworld 2011. These timepieces can fit any wrist size as they are more compact than the other Breitling for Bentley models. They also offer a more distinctive and instantly recognizable appearance. The Ice White dial (an exclusive Bentley livery color) is complemented with a rubber strap in the same shade. These dials, highlighted by rimmed counters, are reminiscent of the dashboards of Bentley Grand Tourers. The bezel, with its knurled motif, is inspired by the marque’s control buttons, says WatchTime. The "chassis" of the Breitling Bentley GT Ice chronograph has a steel case with an... more

Brietling for Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon Watch Review | breitling bentley

Written by admin on February 28, 2011 – 7:40 pm -

Mulliner: for connoisseurs of beautiful cars, the name of this Bentley workshop stands for absolute luxury. Tourbillon: for devotees of complicated watches, this sophisticated mechanism represents a pinnacle of the watchmaking art. Stemming from the encounter between two traditions of excellence, the Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon is a rare and even extremely rare watch, since only a few dozen of these chronographs will be made in the coming years, at a rate of just two per month. While exclusivity comes at a price, it also brings its share of privileges. Each Mulliner Tourbillon chronograph is customised according to the wishes of its future owner, who is free to choose the case material (platinum, yellow gold, rose gold or white gold), the dial... more

Luxury Swiss Watches as Investments Storms Back Onto Center Stage

Written by admin on January 19, 2011 – 7:46 pm -

by Nazanin Lankarani PARIS — Luxury watchmakers are flying high again, buoyed by a spectacular recovery in sales last year, and the optimism reflected in a flood of new models on show at the Salon de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva this week is also palpable in vintage watch salerooms. For many, last year marked a full recovery from the global crisis that hit the market in 2008. In the new watch sector, figures tallied and estimated by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry indicate that the Swiss industry’s export sales for the whole of last year probably reached 16 billion Swiss francs, or $16.5 billion, their second-highest level ever and just short of the record 17 billion francs achieved in 2007, according to Jean-Daniel Pasche,... more

Breitling Creates Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel Watch

Written by admin on April 3, 2010 – 6:27 pm -

At Baselworld 2010, Breitling is to unveil its new Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel watch. The timepiece is best characterized as robust and highly technical. The zest of the new Breitling watch is the brand’s exclusive, patented magnetic push-piece system concealed inside the case. The system allows to activate the timepiece through the metal case with no direct mechanical contact. Most chronograph watches cannot be activated while diving, but this system provides the Avenger Seawolf Chrono with the total water-resistance and functionality at a record 1,000-meter depth. The Breitling watch also boasts the brand’s exclusive thermocompensated SuperQuartz TM movement, Breitling 73 calibre. The outstanding COSC-certified mechanism offers... more

The difference between a $500 watch and a $50,000 watch

Written by admin on January 30, 2010 – 12:02 am -

Jack Forster, Forbes Magazine The difference between a $500 watch and a $50,000 one is often in the movement. The ground floor of the Roger Dubuis factory, a top-tier manufacturer specializing in artistically extroverted timepieces, comes as a shock. This is one of Geneva's temples of haute horlogerie, a place where you'd expect the loudest sound to be the nearly inaudible cricket-song of a hand file against brass. But in this gigantic room blue- and white-coated technicians tend enormous, sleek machines. The air is redolent of oil and coolant, the ceiling is strung with pipes and conduit, and, here and there, warning signs and bundled cables testify to the huge amounts of electricity being consumed. It's in a room like this that virtually... more

Breitling Superocean Heritage

Written by admin on November 9, 2009 – 7:03 pm -

The Breitling Superocean line has been around for a while. Over 50 years in fact, in various iterations. However, most of the recent models have been a bit boring for my tastes. Yes, they make excellent diving watches, but I need a little more style on my wrist. Well, I was quite delighted to see Breitling's Superocean Heritage line released. The watches look great, with clean classic lines that are as functional as they are symmetric. Best of all, don't confuse the "Heritage" nominer as any indication that these watches are not modern in everyday. The only thing "old" about these watches is the minimalist look of the face, and the optional metal bracelet. The are done in a retro style, but in terms of function and a size, there are modern... more

Vintage Watches: A Timeless Investment Choice

Written by admin on October 29, 2009 – 5:00 pm -

By: Carolin Schober, CNBC Correspondent As investors continue to ponder whether the recovery in markets is sustainable, some may find that this is the time to put their money in an asset class that lasts. The downturn has hit the luxury watch market hard. Luxury watch exports from Switzerland, where many of the premium brands are manufactured, have seen a decline of 25 percent over the past 9 months and the slump in demand was especially severe for watches made of precious metals. However, the picture for "retail" luxury watches seems to bear little resemblance with the "collectible" luxury watch markets for brands such as Patek Philippe, Jaeger Le Coultre or Vacheron Constantin. Sales of luxury collectible watches have been more resilient... more
