Breitling and Awake Launch Redesigned Collections - A Fusion of Refreshing Styles and Sophisticated Craftsmanship

Timeless watchmaker Breitling is back with a revised Chronomat collection, a nod to their continued innovation and craftsmanship in horology. This refreshed lineup showcases an impressive array of sizes and complications. There are 22 stunning variants in total, offering horologists a pick from chronographs to simple time-and-date models, available in several dial colors and crafted in an array of metals. Of these, the Chronomat B01 42 chronograph, Chronomat Automatic B31 40, and Chronomat Automatic 36 emerge as the stars of the show.

Not to be outdone, Awake, a rising star in the world of horology, has released three enigmatically named references: ‘Sunset’, ‘Alba’, and ‘Borealis’. These names and their respective color palettes salute the ethereal beauty of ocean sunsets, radiant dawns, and the Northern Lights. The dials of these watches are the highlight, boasting the exceptional artistry of Vietnamese master lacquerers and Italian guilloché craftsmen. Multiple coats of the vibrant Sơn Mài lacquer, derived from the sap of the Rhus Verniciflua tree, are applied and polished to perfection to create the vivid colors on the ‘Sunset’, ‘Alba’ and ‘Borealis’ watches.

In the dynamic landscape of horology, the reinvention of classic collections and the introduction of intriguing new designs certainly create a captivating narrative. With Breitling’s Chronomat facelift and Awake’s celestial inspired timepieces, watch enthusiasts are indeed spoilt for choice.
