Is there a pairing more exquisite thanwatchesand cars? Like wine and cheese, a classic, elegant chronograph and an equally classic car go together in perfect harmony.

Now, that range has grown, with the addition of three models sporting a tourbillon at the 12 o’clock position. Like a shaker hood, the tourbillon sits proud atop the dial, making sure you notice its presence without looking obnoxious.

Inside, you’ll find a Breitling B21 calibre, manufactured with La Joux-Perret. That’s a COSC-certified movement with 55 hours of power reserve and a column wheel chronograph complication. The movement also has a skeletonised rotor, allowing you to see the tourbillon in all its glory through the display caseback.

It’s certainly not a watch for the feint-hearted, though. As mentioned, the models are 43-44mm across. That’s pretty hefty for starters, but add on a lug-to-lug measurement just shy of 52mm and a 15.4mm thickness, and this is a proper hunk of a watch. Needless to say, those with slimmer wrists may wish to look elsewhere.

Price wise, you’re looking at £38,000 for these models. That’s no small change, but in the world of Swiss tourbillons, it’s about par for the course. And if you’re on the hunt for one, they don’t come much prettier than this.
