Watches and cars, both require high levels of
performance, accuracy and oftentimes timeless style, it is no wonder why watch
manufacturers often partner up with the world’s top car builders. At Schwanke-KastenJewelers, we just happen to be a fan of both!
As we saw last week with Breitling announcing a
special edition of the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley,
renewing their 16-year partnership. Since 2002 Breitling has produced a line of
high quality watches inspired by Bentley aesthetics.
Rolex as well as a lengthy partnership with Forumla
1 as well as a line inspired by the legendary race at Daytona.
TAG Heuer is no stranger to motorsports and
automobiles. With several models named after racing events (Carrera, F1 and
Monaco), brand ambassadors ( the late Steve McQueen, Patrick Dempsey, Ayrton
Senna, Alexander Rossi and Fangio), racing teams and circuits (Gulf, Aston
Martin Formula 1, Formula E, Gran Turismo, MXGP, Endurance World Championship,
Would Touring Car Championship, Indy 500 and Pikes Peak International Hill
Climb), they fully embrace the bond between automobiles and watchmaking. Which
is why they officially partnered with the high performance sport machines of Aston
Martin and announced several limited edition pieces inspired by this event.
