Watchmaking and cars seem to gravitate in the same orbits. As demonstrated by these three Breitling pieces directly inspired by the Cobra, Corvette and Mustang of the 60s. SoBARNES takes the wheel, hands at 10 and 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corvette, Cobra, Mustang. Only those totally impervious to all things car related wouldn\u2019t recognise those names (and even then...). A touch of Steve McQueen in Bullit<\/em>, a sprig of Jean-Louis Trintignant in A Man and a Woman<\/em>, and a whole lot of Matt Damon and Christian Bale in Ford v Ferrari<\/em>. Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang and Shelby Cobra, an iconic trio that alone embodies the history of muscle cars <\/em>(*), the high-performance American cars that set everyone\u2019s heads turning from the late 50s to the 70s. A story of infatuation and horsepower brought to an abrupt end with the first oil crisis in 1973...<\/p>\n

All the more reason to scramble for these three timepieces unveiled by Breitling in a fitting homage to these legendary vehicles.<\/p>\n
