A blue version, a bronze version: the Chronoliner by Breitling expresses its timeless look through two new models endowed with a strong character. An effective means of accentuating the original style of this aviation chronograph enabling simultaneous readings of three timezones.

Inspired by a model from the 1950s and 60s, an era when Breitling was already “official supplier to world aviation”, the Chronoliner pursues this tradition in a resolutely modern spirit.

It is distinguished by its broad bezel in ultra-hard and scratchproof high-tech ceramic featuring a star-shaped cut-out that facilitates handling.

Breitling now introduces this peerless instrument in two original new colors – blue and bronze – with matching bezel and dial. Water-resistant to 100 m (330 ft), the steel case houses a selfwinding chronograph movement officially chronometer-certified by the COSC.

The dial stands out by its excellent legibility entirely worthy of an instrument panel. The red-tipped hand serves to read off a second timezone in 24-hour mode, while the rotating bezel indicates a third timezone, also on a 24-hour scale.

The caseback bears the stylized planes that long served as the Breitling signature. These two blue and bronze Chronoliner models are available with a leather strap, a steel or steel mesh bracelet, or a rubber strap picking up the steel mesh motif.

Hermes – ARCEAU Chrono Titane Embossed


Hermès ARCEAU Chrono Titane Embossed 41 mm Barénia strap

It was in 1978 that Henri d’Origny created the Arceau model: a round watch that he decided to associate with asymmetrical lugs featuring a shape inspired by stirrups along with a distinctive and singular font.

Since then, interpreted through countless evolutions and variations, the line has been perpetually renewed while remaining true to its original spirit.

Equipped with a chronograph function and a 41 mm beadblasted titanium case, this sportier version radiates an appealingly light air. Its sloping numerals give the impression of having been blown in on a playful breeze. The three counters and the date are harmoniously arranged.

Aesthetic characteristics inspired by saddle-making are showcased on both models, fitted with a natural Barenia calfskin strap, or with a black embossed Barenia calfskin strap, on which the saddle stitching and inimitable feel testify to the tradition of leather-making excellence cultivated by the Maison.

Above and beyond purely equestrian design codes, the Arceau Chrono Titane asserts a fine balance between sturdiness and airy lightness.

Hermès creates objects. Objects shaped by the hands of artisans to make them true companions for those who wear them. Practical, functional and stemming from uncompromising expertise, they radiate the lightness of the unexpected. They make everyday life their playground, and each instant a uniquely special moment.

For Hermès, time is also an object. Its inherent tension is translated by the house into a singular characteristic. Rather than measuring, ordering, and seeking to control it, Hermès dares to explore another time, designed to arouse emotions, open up interludes and create spaces for spontaneity and recreation.
