WATCHES & TIMEPIECES 115
Once extracted, the meteorite is sliced and treated to reveal its Widmanstätten pattern – a naturally occurring crystalline structure that forms only during incredibly slow cooling in the vacuum of space. The result is a pattern of interlaced bands, visible to the naked eye and impossible to replicate – a raw relic of the early solar system, preserved in time.
Each dial is individually crafted and precisely adapted to fit the case, working seamlessly with applied indexes and hands. It’ s the first time Breitling has used this material, and the result is nothing short of stellar.
STRIKING TALENT:
NO OTHER PLAYER LIKE HAALAND
From his first appearance in the Norwegian second division at age 15 to becoming Manchester City’ s record-breaking striker, Erling Haaland’ s ascent has been anything but ordinary. His stats are the stuff of legend – Champions League hattricks, Bundesliga milestones, and a historic treble with City in his debut Premier League season.
Strong, fast, and clinically precise, Haaland embodies the same qualities that define the Chronomat: standout style, pinpoint precision, and total confidence in every moment – not to mention his meteoric speed on the pitch.
“ Seeing this watch come to life was something else,” Haaland says.“ The dial, the engravings, the initials – every detail told a part of my story. I’ m excited for people to wear it and feel that same connection.”
