Bentley And Breitling Collab On New Mulliner Timepiece, Limited To 1,000 Units

Bentley and Breitling are celebrating their 17th year of partnership with the release of the limited-edition Breitling Premier Bentley Mulliner timepiece.

The watch “shares its design values and sumptuous detailing with Bentley’s Continental GT Mulliner Convertible” and will be limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide.

Breitling’s Premier Bentley Mulliner features a 42 mm stainless steel case presented on a blue alligator leather strap designed to reflect the Imperial Blue leather interior of the Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Convertible. The watch also sports blue subdials and has a similar main silver dial echoing the look of the dashboard clock used in the aforementioned Bentley.

The links between the timepiece and the car continue with a red second hand and red centered 60-minute scale mirror, both designed to reflect the red stitching of the Bentley’s interior. Each of the 1,000 examples will include a transparent sapphire caseback with an inscription reading ‘Mulliner Edition – Breitling – One Of 1000.’

Bentley and Breitling formed a partnership in 2002 when the British car manufacturer commissioned Breitling to create an onboard clock for the Continental GT that was launched the following year.

“The long-standing relationship between Bentley and Breitling is a reflection of the values we both share and our dedication to world-leading performance, luxury, innovation and refinement,” Bentley chairman and chief executive Adrian Hallmark said. “The links between the new Breitling Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition watch and Bentley’s Continental GT Mulliner Convertible can be seen in the exquisite engraving detail of the watch and the design features that reference the Breitling clock in the GT’s dashboard – a perfect display of Bentley Mulliner product craftsmanship.”

The new Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Convertible was presented just a few weeks ago and will be available in both V8 and W12 guises.
