Breitling launched a special watch in celebration of its partnership with Bentley Motors. The Breitling Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition shares part of its design inspiration with Bentley’s Continental GT Mulliner Convertible, which was also launched already.

In what has been one of the most turbulent and stressful years in our lifetime, a recent trip to the Scottish Highlands allowed me to slow things down and restore some mental calm. Being surrounded by such breath-taking landscapes, peaceful nature and wildlife offered an outlet to an otherwise claustrophobic feeling that’s dogged the lockdown existence of 2020. The Cairngorms is a mountain range in the Highlands, forming part of the Cairngorms National Park – the largest national park in the UK. Thanks to the team at Visit Cairngorms, I was able to discover an area perfectly nestled in this vast…
https://youtu.be/41Gz8fpy9qk In 2009, Rolls-Royce announced a new addition to its portfolio that offered something entirely different from its flagship Phantom. This product resonated with a new group of men and women who responded to the marque’s relentless pursuit of perfection in design, engineering, and craftsmanship, but sought a more modest and minimalist expression of Rolls-Royce. The execution of the first Goodwood Ghost, and its laser focus on meeting the demands of its clients, was an unmitigated success, and over the course of its ten-year lifecycle, this transformative motor car became the most successful product in the company’s 116-year history. Ghost’s…
