Grenchen, Switzerland—Swiss watch brand Breitling may be best known for its presence in the cockpits of airplanes or on the wrists of pilots, but the watchmaker is reinforcing its place on the road as well.
To accompany the launch of luxury automaker Bentley's new Continental GT Speed, the most powerful production Bentley ever, Breitling has entirely redesigned the dashboard clock that is featured in each of Bentley's famed Continental models.
The timepiece features Breitling's logo with the raised, winged
B in gold and silver-plated hands. The minute circle has been slimmed down, and the hour circle passes by 12 numerals, with four larger numerals marking the quarters.
Breitling first partnered with Bentley in 2002, contributing to the design of the technical instrumentation and creating the dashboard clock for the original Continental GT. Since then, the clock has also been fitted into the Continental Flying Spur four-door saloon and the GTC convertible.
