British firm Triumph and Swiss Breitling have unveiled a new collaboration that puts their two traditional collectibles at the center: a motorcycle and a watch. In this case, the motorcycle is born from the partnership Triumph Speed Twin Breitling Edition and the chronograph Breitling Top Time Triump Edition.
The British bike will be a limited edition of the sun 270 unitswith a starting price of 19.000 euro (fc). It will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity signed by the CEOs of both brands (Nick Bloor of Triumph Motorcycles and Georges Kern of Breitling), the serial number engraved on the handlebar clamp. in addition, future owners will have the opportunity to purchase the limited edition of the Breitling Top Time Triumph Chronograph, with the same serial number engraved on the caseback.
Regarding the Triumph Speed Twin Breitling Edition, the design features a blue polychrome finish like that of the legendary Thunderbird 6T used by Marlon Brando in the 1953 film “Savage”.
This shade comes from a custom mix of colors, which is then mixed and hand finished with a black piping and the Breitling signature. The bike also delivers hand-painted details by the master craftsman of the brand’s paint team, Gary Devine, complemented by jet black finish side panels and headlight.

The exclusive details of this sleave aside from customizing engine covers with the emblem of the Swiss company, to the black perforated leather saddle, matching the Breitling Top Time strap (including the embroidered Breitling B). The instrumentation that resembles the style of the clock face is particular but of sure impact.
