Tourbillon Limited Edition – The Latest in the Breitling and Bentley Partnership

After nearly two decades of collaboration, Bentley Motors and watchmaker Breitling celebrate the launch of the Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 Bentley Limited Edition.

A reinterpretation of the original Breitling Premier from the 1940s, now a limited edition that lives up to its reputation, the Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 Bentley Limited Edition is a unique and timeless design. Limited to 25 pieces, this watch features an 18k red gold 42mm case, rectangular chronograph pushers, a gold-brown alligator leather strap and a transparent sapphire caseback that reveals the magnificent movement with its 22k gold oscillating weight. The highlight is the special chronograph tourbillon movement and cage visible through a unique green dial, reminiscent of the British Racing Green used in other Breitling and Bentley collaborations.

Powered by the in-house Caliber B21, this tourbillon movement is COSC-certified to offer a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is water-resistant to 100 meters. swiss watch replicas

Willy Breitling, grandson of Breitling founder Leon Breitling and an avid Bentley driver, patented this chronograph with two independent pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock in 1934. As well as being technically savvy and innovative, Willy Breitling also understood the elegance and glamour that watch lovers seek. To this end, he designed the original Premier in the 1940s, the first time Breitling combined functionality with style. As Willy puts it, “When a person wears his watch, it is a sign of impeccable taste.”

Today, all Breitling watches are based on this philosophy, which also reflects the way Bentley Motors customers feel about their cars. The new discount replica watches pay tribute to the traditional and modern values ​​of both brands in a magnificent way.

Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said: “This beautiful watch embodies our shared commitment to pioneering spirit, craftsmanship and technical excellence.”

Georges Cohen, CEO of Breitling, added: “We are proud of this elegant symbol that represents the values ​​shared by our brands: quality, performance and outstanding design.”

In 2002, Bentley Motors commissioned Breitling to create the onboard clock for the Continental GT, and the partnership has only grown since then. This unique new chronograph pays tribute to Willy Breitling and automotive pioneer WO Bentley in a spirit of unparalleled luxury and unrivalled quality. https://www.reviewluxurystore.com

Ice, Ice Baby: A glimpse at Jacob & Co.’s brightest timepieces

Jacob Arabo’s eponymous label is forging a clear path to horological legitimacy.

I’ve struggled to put into words the impact fake Jacob & Co. has had on the haute horlogerie world. Because there really is no one in the industry quite like Jacob Arabo. Arabo came to New York from Russia at the age of 14. At 16, he began apprenticeship as a jeweler to help support his family. While making jewelry for other brands, he sold his creations as a sideline, then in New York, 1986.

His designs quickly caught the attention of singer Faith Evans, who turned her husband Notorious BIG on to Arabo’s work. Soon, he was known as “Jacob the Jeweler” in hip-hop lyrics. But it wasn’t just celebrities who attracted Jacob & Co.—collectors also took notice of his luxury timepieces, as Arabo specializes in highly complex timepieces with unconventional designs made from precious materials such as rare gemstones.

Arabo is a self-made man who approaches watchmaking the same way he picks out the best gems: with great technical dexterity and a certain respect for decadence. Some might say it’s overdone, but at the same time, there’s something dazzling about Jacob & Co.’s work. The following five timepieces perfectly embody this unconventional manufacturing method.

Jacob & Co 3-D Astronomia Minute Repeater Watch
Truly an otherworldly watch. 3-D Astronomia debuted at Baselworld in 2014 and has grown more brilliant and complex every year. This year, Jacob & Co. launched a minute repeater watch to raise funds for this extremely rare watch.

It features a carillon minute repeater with three gongs and hammers (instead of the usual two). The gongs are stacked vertically so that you can better see them in action through the side of the sapphire case. The chime chimes in the familiar Doh Re Mi tone to mark the hours, minutes and 15-minute intervals, and an innovative safety feature protects the mechanism by preventing the wearer from winding the watch when it strikes the time. Four arms radiating from the center support a three-axis tourbillon.

On ice, the 3-D Astronomia features 15.44-carat sapphires in two shades of blue, with baguette diamonds on the plate and case. The display also features a one-carat spherical diamond and a painted dial rotating globe. The coolest part? A flying astronaut spinning around the axis of the 3D Earth! replica tourbillon watches
