New York – Breitling has โฃunveiled teh Premier โขB21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42, aโ new timepiece positioned as a collector’sโ item blendingโฃ classic โฃdesign with high-end โคwatchmaking technology. The watch, โขpriced at $75,000 (approximately 700,000 kroner), combines the aesthetic of Breitling’s Premier collection with the technical complexity of a tourbillon movement.
According to Georges Kern, Breitling’s CEO, the modelโ “combines the timeless elegance โคof the Premier collection with theโ technical brilliance represented by the tourbillon.” The 42-millimeter watch is available in rose gold or platinum, hand-assembledโค in Switzerland, โandโค features a dial in dark emerald, blue, or black.
