Breitling Navitimer Replica at the Concours of Elegance, Hampton Court Palace

“Collecting has never been a question of price nor benefit but rather of exclusivity, provenance and expertise,” says A. Lange & Söhne’s CEO Wilhelm Schmid, explaining why people increasingly gravitate towards mechanical watches and classic cars. “Every collector experiences a sense of connection with the author – be it a painter, a notable car designer or a famous watchmaker.”Breitling Navitimer Replica As time marches on, the synergies between classic cars and fine watches becomes more marked and tangible – in terms of the crossover between the collector bases, the craft skills required to fine-tune these mechanical marvels and the myriad collaborations between the two engineering worlds. It is of little surprise, therefore, that the major motoring events of the season, from Goodwood to Monterey’s Pebble Beach, all have timing partners.

This weekend will see one of the newer and increasingly more successful gatherings when the 2018 Concours of Elegance takes place at Hampton Court Palace, with automotive enthusiast Prince Michael of Kent in attendance (31 August – 2 September). Previously held at some of Britain’s most beautiful venues including Windsor Castle, St James’s Palace, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Concours will bring together 60 of the world’s rarest cars. Interestingly, the “Best of Show” vehicle will be selected by the owners of the cars rather than a panel of judges. In addition to the 60 showstoppers, hundreds of other cars will also be displayed. Breitling Navitimer Replica Today is the first time it is offered with an argenté dial, in either a pink or white gold case. Previously offered with a black dial, this brighter offering makes the Breitling Navitimer Replica Outsize Date feel a lot more formal, in either metal.

“For that reason, we are very confident that the relationship with the Concours of Elegance will create interesting synergies for us. It is a fitting complement to our other commitments in the domains of classic cars and culture. So far, every appearance at a car event has turned out to be an ideal communication platform, and we have always made new friends. This partnership will definitely continue over the coming years.”
