Nice however I don't understand why Breitling needs to tie into the Bentley thing with this product.

What does Bentley have to do with a pocket watch? Do they make trains too?


Hmm, a Bentley train.....

I guess that as Breitling have positioned Bentley as being their top end pieces they feel that they have to put the haute horlogerie piece under that banner. Personally, I don't see why it can't be 'banner free' with just a Breitling logo. Incidentally, I suspect that this annual piece may be the showcase for an in house grand complication, though probably 2012 rather than 2011.

Yeah, I'm a bit troubled by this. I think the marketing link cheapens the watch, especially when the watch costs (or is thought to cost) more than the cars it is effectively advertising. Really nice piece apart from that though.

HEY!! Wheres George???


He's not pictured. I did ask him today if anything like the original watch fair would happen again and he said if it does, it won't be until this fall. Last year was a smaller gathering focused only on Rolex since they just became a Rolex AD last year. If I find anything out, this forum will be the first to know about any upcoming events.

Just chiming in, but Bentley and trains go a ways back. Possibly one of the more famous cars ever made was the Blue Train Bentley. Neat story on it if you have the time to google it.
