HIGH-END watches and motorcycles go together like petrol and two-stroke oil, with legendary motorcyclists since the dawn of the two-wheeler pairing their bike to a top-class chronograph.
Triumph Thruxton RS Review
Today, Triumph has announced it is forming a long-term partnership with one of the biggest and best-known names in wristwear, as Breitling and the British brand join to create a customised motorcycle and limited edition watch together.
Due to land in early 2022, there is no confirmation as to what the bike will be just yet, although as Breitling stores across the world have just begun to feature the awesome Triumph Thruxton RS as display pieces – we’d say that’s a good place to start. If that’s true, the bike created by the two firms might help to create a truly awesome combo. The Thruxton RS is one of the best retro bikes on the market, with handling, speed and ability that belie its classic lines. The chance to own one of them, as a highly custom model, with maybe a swanky new limited edition watch thrown in for good measure… Chances like that don’t come around very often.
Breitling and Triumph team up
“This is where substance meets original styling. You can expect purposeful engineering paired with modern retro designs,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “But however you want to describe it, there’ll be a huge sense of adventure and discovery.”
Triumph Motorcycles CEO Nick Bloor welcomes this unique chance to collaborate with another established heritage brand. “Like Breitling, we’re committed to providing the flawless handling and incredible finishes that give our community an incomparable experience.”
