New 'Breitling for Bentley' GT Dark Sapphire Edition
By: MTF : September 20th, 2017-03:39
19th September 2017 Despite the cutbacks for aviation activities at Breitling, they still made a joint announcement with Bentley Motors about a new watch – the Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition to "celebrate the Grand Touring spirit" and launch of all-new ...
Plastic. Rubber. 48mm. $15K+ (minimum, probably). Erm… I don’t think so.

Why am I left with the impression that this his been shoe-horned in, rather than a natural fit for a car costing £150K+? I’ve never understood the brand tie-in, and this just makes it look like Bentley haven’t got a clue who their demographic is.
Good question

PJS Thanks for your thoughts. I buy Breitlings for family and friends but not for myself....until the current Mrs MTF re-gifted a SuperOcean back to me Somebody is buying these 'Breitling for Bentley' watches and they only need to shift 500 pieces. The as...
I accept a reason behind oversized watches if legibility is enhanced ...

... especially of the calculator bezels. In my experience (and I like to wear large watches) 46mm is the utmost limit of a watch that can comfortably worn on a men's wrist. Even then, the crown can be an issue and should be on the left side of the case (i...
Balancing the discussion
By: MTF : September 22nd, 2017-01:42
Alkiro, I don't like huge watches either but as a moderator, I have to interject. Aside from logistics and functional reasons for watch sizes, the size of watches have gone up and down through history as expressions of both technology and fashion. Initial...

I miss my 2014 CGT and plan on purchasing a new one. I like the changes I see, just want to see it in person before I am all in.
My last one was a Speed.

I will definitely wait for the Speed version. I prefer to not but the first of a new model, would rather wait 6 months or a years to work out the early production kinks.
“innovative, authentic new luxury materials”
By: cazalea : September 20th, 2017-22:32
“Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Britain from authentic luxury materials” Is it just me, or why are my suspicions raised by the double quotation that the materials used for the car (not the Watch) are authentic, new & luxurious? What do Bentley th...
I think it comes from the French language that dominates the luxury scene
By: MTF : September 21st, 2017-02:40
The word "authentic" is used in French as an adjective indicating "really good" rather than "genuine". I found this is a trend also from the jewellery and watch copywriters in recent press releases. The sexy words for every luxury product launch are "auth...
