All Hail: Brew Celebrates New York City at the Windup Watch Fair with a Tribute to the Iconic Checkered Taxi
Breitling Top Time Triumph Speed Twin Owners’ Limited Edition
Meet the Top Time watches and Speed Twin motorcycle behind a spectacular new collaboration inspired by 1960s café-racer culture.
In the mid-1960s, auto racing was having a heyday, and a whole subculture had sprung up around “café racers,” stylish motorcycles, used to literally transport their riders from hip café to hip café.
Willy Breitling set out to capture the speed-driven style of the day with a completely new take on the timekeeper. The result? The Breitling Top Time, an unconventional chronograph designed for “young and active professionals.” It quickly became the watch of choice for a sporty in-crowd of men and women equally drawn to the watch’s bold proportions.
Today, that freewheeling 1960s café-racer spirit is back in a spectacular new Top Time collaboration between Breitling and British motorcycle brand Triumph. Now in its 120th year, Triumph combines historic craftsmanship with contemporary design to create its classic motorcycles
