FOR PEOPLE WITH STYLE AND DRIVE BREITLING ROLLS OUT ITS TOP TIME CLASSIC CARS SQUAD

A distinctive celebration of design and freedom : Breitling ’ s Top Time Classic Cars Capsule Collection pays homage to classic sports cars from the 1960s .
This unconventional trio of racing chronographs draws inspiration from the Chevrolet Corvette , the Ford Mustang , and the Shelby Cobra , three icons of the American car culture . The timepieces themselves are a nod to the original 1960s Breitling Top Time models , which were designed for “ young and active professionals ”. Today ’ s modern-retro interpretations are perhaps even more youthful and free-spirited .
“ It ’ s about the journey , not the tempo . And that ’ s true whether you ’ re tinkering under the hood or hitting the road for a Sunday ride celebrating these beautiful machines ,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern .
