Mulliner Tourbillon The spirit of exclusivity has given rise to an extraordinary timepiece, the Mulliner Tourbillon chronograph. A rare model with only a few dozen made over the next few years, at a rate of two per month, it also brings along its share of privileges, since each Mulliner Tourbillon is customised by its future owner. According to his personal preferences, he can choose the type of case - in platinum or in yellow, rose or white gold - the dial colour or the exact shade of the crocodile leather strap. Even the precious wood decoration on the back of the watch comes in a choice of six types of veneer. This masterpiece also has an exceptional heart in the shape of hand-wound Breitling Caliber 18B, a Tourbillon chronograph movement exclusive to "Breitling for Bentley". Moreover, its "30-second " type chronograph mechanism is distinguished by its central hand revolving around the dial in half a minute instead of the usual 60 seconds thus enabling extremely precise read-off for the fractions of a second, in this case 1/6th . It is also endowed with a 15-minute totalizer and a pointer-type date display. Each hour-marker on the dial is fashioned from natural hand-crafted mother-of-pearl. Both literally and figuratively, each Mulliner Tourbillon carries the hallmark of its owner, including his initials engraved on one of the movement bridges. Protected by a sapphire crystal, the precious wooden ring is available in the same shades and veneers as the Bentley Mulliner car. |
