BREITLING for Bentley - The Mulliner Perpetual chronograph

The spirit of exclusivity Mulliner,the jewel in the Bentley crown... In the secret of the Mulliner workshop at the Bentley factory in Crewe, some hundred craftsmen and technicians fashion metal,wood and leather to fulfill each and every wish of the privileged Bentley owners.The specially commissioned features created to grace these prestigious vehicles embody the ultimate blend of technology and tradition.

The Mulliner Perpetual chronograph has been crafted in harmony with the same spirit of exclusivity. Its Grande Complication movement is a prodigy of mechanical horology that only a few master-watchmakers are still capable of creating. Composed of around 500 parts, this Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is programmed to indicate the date, the day, the week, the month,the season and the moon phases, while taking account of the variations due to leap years. No less than thirteen hands are required to display all the information, a task they perform with absolute precision, as this complex mechanical mulliner assembly is officially certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Very much like the exceptional limousines that emerge from the Mulliner workshop, the Bentley Mulliner Perpetual chronograph is intended for the most demanding connoisseurs and will be produced in strictly limited series of 100 in rose gold and 50 in white gold.
