Breitling Creates Mulliner Tourbillon for Bentley

Captured by the Spirit of Exclusivity


Breitling has already introduced a few watch lines elaborated specially for Bentley. Every brand's fan is sure to have heard about Breitling Le Mans watches that were aimed to mark Bentley's victory in Le Mans racing in 2003, as well as Breitling for Bentley watch models. Breitling is also involved in producing watches for Continental GT.

Mulliner is one of the most precious jewels in the Bentley factory. Justifying the prestige and success of the car producer, its workshop employs about a hundred of most experienced craftsmen and technicians who do their best to fulfill every particular wish of Bentley owners while maintaining a firm union of technology and tradition.

Breitling followed the spirit of exclusivity inherited by every Bentley automobile and created an exceptional watch. It was given the name of the Mulliner Tourbillon chronograph. However, the wonder will show the time just to very few lucky owners. Breitling intends to produce only a few dozens during the next few years - two timepieces a month.

Every Mulliner Tourbillon is customized by the watch's future owner. The owner may enjoy the privilege of choosing the case ?? either in platinum or yellow, rose or white gold, as well as the dial color and decide upon the exact shade of the crocodile leather band. The back of the watch is embellished with the valuable wood decoration - there is also a choice of six different types of veneer. Naturally, it implies unbelievable price - still there are watch connoisseurs ready to pay for exclusivity.

Mulliner's Peculiar Features

Breitling equipped its exclusive Mulliner watch with manually-wound Breitling Caliber 18B, a tourbillon chronograph movement elaborated specially for Breitling for Bentley series.
Moreover, its "30-second" type chronograph mechanism is matchless due to its central hand. It revolves around the dial in half a minute instead of the common 60 seconds. What advantage does it provide? It makes possible absolutely precise read-off for the fractions of a second. There is a 15-minute totalizer and a pointer-type date display.

If you have studied the timepiece's characteristics, it becomes clear what idea inspired Breitling's watchmakers and designers - they wanted to make each Mulliner Tourbillon just unique the same as automobiles developed in the Mulliner workshops. The happy owners of the timekeeping masterpieces will never come across an identical watch.
One more noteworthy feature - each hour-marker on the dial is artistically designed from natural hand-crafted mother-of-pearl.

Nobody will be ever able to question whether the watch is worn by its real owner as every Mulliner Tourbillon watch features the hallmark of its owner. There are the initials engraved on a movement bridge. It is possible to personalize a Mulliner Tourbillon chronograph in a number of ways suggested by the Bentley Mulliner workshops in Crewe.

It should be mentioned that the Mulliner Tourbillon watch is Chronometer-certified by the COSC.
