WHY THIS WATCH
For nearly two decades, Breitling has been collaborating with the luxury car manufacturer, Bentley. In 2021, it was announced that the two brands would be ending their collaboration. It all started in 2002 when Bentley introduced an onboard Breitling Clock inside the cabin of their Continental GT.
This particular example, the Barnato, is a limited edition and was named after Joel Woolf Barnato, who is well known for being one of the Bentley Boys that won the prestigious Le Mans race three times with Bentley. The Barnato is a technical tour de force with its 30-second chronograph and a set of unique subdials that utilize rotating wheels instead of the usual rotating micro hands. The Barnato Racing incorporates a disc-type display that rotates to indicate the reading, adjacent to a red arrowhead pointer. Not only is this unique display mechanism enchanting to behold, but it is also visually efficient. This is made possible by Breitling’s Calibre 25B, which also includes a date display and is COSC-certified, like all Breitling movements. The entire movement can be clearly seen through the sapphire case back, which includes a beautifully sculpted winding rotor designed to look like a Bentley alloy wheel.
The Breitling A25366 is powered by the Caliber 25B, an automatic, COSC-certified chronometer movement based on the ETA 2892-A2. It features 38 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve. Enhanced with a unique 30-second chronograph mechanism, the 25B exemplifies Breitling's commitment to precision, reliability, and technical innovation in watchmaking.
On the wrist, this is a very large and heavy watch. I'm very surprised that it fit on my wrist, despite its 49mm size. This is a testament to the well-thought-out ergonomics which have resulted in a remarkably comfortable watch to wear. Besides the beefy wrist presence, the real star of the show is the dial. I love watching the second totalizers go around. It's something like a retrograde indicator, which is a nice change from the normal pointer indices we are used to on chronographs.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
The watch is from 2011. The watch is in overall excellent condition, with only minor wear on the case and bracelet. I'd give this watch a 9/10 overall. The chronometer movement is running strong without issues. Comes with the Box only, no papers.

THE LITTLE DETAILS
WHY THIS WATCH
The Jaquet-Droz Grande Seconde SW J029530409 is a noteworthy model in the Grande Seconde SW collection, blending Jaquet-Droz's historical design heritage with a modern, athletic twist. Introduced in the 2010s, this watch is distinguished by its sizable 45mm stainless steel case, which is 13.93mm thick and features push-buttons cast in rubber for a sporty feel. The robustness of the design is further emphasized by its stainless steel bezel and the use of a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clarity. The watch's transparent back allows a glimpse of the intricate movement within, highlighting the brand's commitment to horological artistry. The black dial is set with polished rivets, creating a striking contrast and enhancing the watch's dynamic and contemporary aesthetic. This model is a standout for its fusion of Jaquet-Droz's iconic "Grande Seconde" figure-eight dial design with a bold, sporty look, making it an attractive piece for those who value a timepiece that combines classical elegance with a modern, adventurous spirit.
