BREITLING - Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon Limited Edition



















BREITLING - Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon Limited Edition NEW
 

 Ultra-light, ultra-sporty
The latest timepiece to carry the Breitling for Bentley name is an ultra-light, ultra-sporty creation, issued as a 1,000-piece limited edition. The all-black exterior of the Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon conceals a tough but lightweight titanium chassis with a high-resistance, carbon-based treatment.

The dashboard-inspired dial features two Breitling exclusives - a "30-second chrono" and a "variable tachymeter" - with red-accented indications. The originality and force of this black-clad design are further emphasised by the mat black hour-markers and hands, and by the rubber strap that takes its knurled pattern from Bentley radiator grilles.

The dashboard-style dial displays two exclusive Breitling technical features highlighted by red-rimmed indications. The ingenious “30-second chronograph” system, heir to a 1926 Breitling patent, with its central hand sweeping around the dial in half a minute instead of the customary 60 seconds, provides highly accurate 1/8th of a second readings. Contrary to conventional tachometers, designed to handle observations based only on times of less than 60 seconds, the “variable tachometer” activated via the rotating pinion bezel serves to measure average speeds whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached.

 The originality and strength of the all-black design are accentuated by the hands and hour-markers also clad in matt black – enhanced by a luminescent coating ensuring optimal readability in the dark. The midnight black rubber strap is distinguished by its central raised motif echoing that of the knurled bezel – a refined nod to the famous radiator grilles gracing the prow of Bentley cars. The performances of this elegant and ultra-sporty watch are powered by a selfwinding chronograph movement chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) – the ultimate reference in terms of reliability and precision and the only one based on an international standard.

MAURICE LACROIX - Pontos S Diver















MAURICE LACROIX - Pontos S Diver NEW

Pontos Collection
The art of keeping up with the times
The Pontos collection brilliantly combines Swiss watchmaking traditions and technical mastery with modern design. It gives contemporary shape to the passage of time, furnishing the mechanical precision it deserves.

The very epitome of rigorous expertise, the timepieces in this thoroughbred collection evoke a quest for artistic perfection, underpinned by contemporary refinement. Pontos time passes in a world of clean lines, firmly embedded in the twenty-first century. Its bold architectonic character emerges at first glance. Its mechanical heart lends substance and character. Dedicated to lovers of uncompromising watchmaking, the collection masterfully combines rigor and creativity. Seen as a whole, it perfectly symbolizes the aspiration of a brand for which technical innovation and artistic performance go hand in hand.
Two new models joined the Pontos stables this year. Equipped with self-winding mechanisms, they each illustrate the creativity of Maurice Lacroix in their own way. A sportier model, the Pontos S Extreme is made of Powerlite®, a new alloy used exclusively by Maurice Lacroix that lends it both durability and its light weight. The Pontos S Diver has been designed with the needs of professional divers in mind. The Pontos Chronographe and Pontos Day/Date models have been noticeably revitalized and this year are also available in a retro design with vintage accents.
Design and engineering, architecture and high technology, all come together in this Pontos range, which asserts its place in a world of openness, modernity and refinement. The collection bears the unmistakable Maurice Lacroix hallmark, transforming time into a way of life that does not accept compromise.
