PARTNERSHIPS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TIME TO COLLABORATE
Celebrity watch ambassadors and sporting partnerships are not new to the watch world; it’s a tried-and-tested formula that’s decades old. However, what has emerged more prominently in recent years is the concept of the external partner having more input in the overall design of the watches. From fashion designers and actors to athletes and racing teams, brands are looking beyond their watchmaking ateliers for inspiration. Here are some of the latest collaborations that have produced top-tier timepieces.
BREITLING CHRONOMAT B01 42 NFL TEAMS EDITION— INDIANAPOLIS COLTS Celebrate your team with the exclusive Chronomat B01 42 NFL Team Editions. In a match-up as exciting as the Super Bowl, Breitling teamed up with the National Football League to create a first-of-its-kind collection that brings together the high-energy world of football with Breitling’s timeless craftsmanship. In honor of the NFL’s 104th anniversary, each team’s watch is limited to just 104 pieces, making this collection a true collector’s item. Each of the 32 watches features its team’s distinctive colors and logos on the dial and the iconic NFL logo on the caseback—designed for the ultimate football fan. The stainless steel and rubber strap variations combine high- performance functionality and all-purpose style. With raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, an easy-grip onion crown, and a classic Rouleax bracelet, you’ll be ready to support your team. The Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Indianapolis Colts watch pays homage to Indy’s team with its colors captured in the speed-blue dial with white subdials. The sundial at 9 o’clock celebrates this team with the recognizable Colts logo. Available on either a stainless steel Rouleaux bracelet or rubber Rouleax, this is the watch to have for displaying your Indianapolis Colts fandom.
