Breitling Create A Bespoke Chronomat For Aston Martin Valhalla Owners
Two icons of performance. One extraordinary expression of individuality. Breitling opens the doors to bespoke watchmaking for the exclusive circle of Aston Martin Valhalla owners.
There are few things more compelling than the meeting of exceptional engineering and individual vision. In the world of high-performance automobiles and fine watchmaking, both demand an uncompromising approach to precision, design and execution. Now, two names synonymous with speed and technical mastery are bringing those disciplines together in a decidedly personal way.
As Official Watch Partner to Aston Martin, Breitling has unveiled an exclusive bespoke Super Chronomat programme created specifically for owners of the marque’s extraordinary Valhalla supercar. For the first time, clients are invited to shape the design of one of Breitling’s most distinctive collections, commissioning a timepiece inspired by their own vehicle and tailored to their personal aesthetic.
This is not simply a watch to accompany a remarkable car. It is an opportunity to extend the Valhalla experience beyond the cockpit, translating its owner’s individual specification into a mechanical expression of personal taste.
At the heart of the collaboration sits the Aston Martin Valhalla, the British marque’s first series-production mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar. Limited to just 999 examples worldwide, it represents a bold statement of intent, combining race-derived engineering, Formula 1® technology and a striking aerodynamic form.
Its 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 works in conjunction with three electric motors to deliver a formidable 1,079 PS. The result is acceleration from 0–100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 349 km/h (217 mph).
Yet Valhalla’s appeal extends beyond the numbers. Its sculptural bodywork, advanced materials and carefully considered details reflect a philosophy in which every component has a purpose and every design decision contributes to the whole.
It is precisely this balance of performance and individuality that provides the foundation for Breitling’s bespoke programme. Through a dedicated configurator, Valhalla owners can select defining details of their Super Chronomat, creating a watch that draws directly from the character of their own car.
“Valhalla is a statement of what Aston Martin can do. Now we are bringing that same experience to the wrist.” Georges Kern, CEO of House of Brands
The programme centres on two distinct interpretations of the Super Chronomat, each offering its own balance of technical sophistication, contemporary materials and opportunities for personalisation.
Super Chronomat B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
The more technically ambitious of the pair, the Super Chronomat B19 brings together a 44 mm titanium case, Breitling’s unmistakable Rouleaux bracelet and an automatic perpetual calendar chronograph. Its combination of complications places it firmly in the territory of serious mechanical watchmaking.
A carbon-fibre dial introduces a distinctly motorsport-inspired character, while the transparent caseback reveals the movement and its black rotor. It is a compelling meeting of traditional horological complexity and the modern material language associated with high-performance engineering.
The perpetual calendar is the defining feature. Designed to account for varying month lengths, leap years and the passage of the seasons, it requires no major calendar correction until 2100, assuming the watch remains correctly set and running. A substantial 96-hour power reserve further enhances its practicality, allowing the watch to rest for four days without exhausting its stored energy.
For Valhalla owners, the bespoke process introduces an additional layer of exclusivity. The rehaut, seconds hand and chronograph counter hands can be specified in individual colours, while a personalised rotor engraving provides an opportunity to make the watch unmistakably their own.
The result is a technically sophisticated chronograph that can be configured to complement the colour palette and character of its owner’s supercar.
Super Chronomat Automatic 38
Taking a more compact and refined approach, the Super Chronomat Automatic 38 combines a 38 mm stainless-steel case with Breitling’s signature Rouleaux bracelet, a textured carbon-fibre dial and a diamond-set bezel.
Its automatic three-hand movement and discreet date aperture at six o’clock create a more pared-back display, allowing the materials and proportions to take centre stage. The carbon-fibre dial provides the strongest visual link to the automotive world, bringing the aesthetic of performance engineering into a more jewellery-led interpretation of the Super Chronomat.
Personalisation extends to the colour of the rehaut and hands, alongside a bespoke caseback engraving. These carefully chosen details offer scope to create a watch that feels individual without compromising the model’s established design language.
Where the B19 is defined by its technical complexity, the Automatic 38 offers a different kind of appeal: a versatile, design-conscious timepiece that connects the world of luxury watchmaking with the distinctive character of Valhalla.
The art of making it personal
What distinguishes this initiative is the opportunity to participate in the creative process itself. Rather than selecting a finished watch from a conventional collection, owners can configure key elements of their timepiece around their own preferences and the specification of their Valhalla.
Colour becomes a connecting thread between the two objects. The relationship might be subtle, expressed through a carefully chosen hand or rehaut, or more deliberate, with a coordinated palette that echoes the car’s exterior and interior finishes. Personalised engravings add a final detail, turning the watch into a lasting memento of an exceptional ownership experience.
It is an approach that recognises an increasingly important dimension of luxury: the value of rarity is amplified when it is accompanied by personal significance.
The relationship between Valhalla and Super Chronomat is rooted in a shared respect for engineering, craftsmanship and detail. Valhalla is manufactured at Aston Martin’s global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, while Breitling’s timepieces are crafted at its Chronométrie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
Though separated by geography and discipline, the two facilities represent the same underlying ambition: to bring advanced technology, specialist expertise and considered design together in pursuit of exceptional results.
The bespoke Super Chronomat programme gives that philosophy a tangible form. Each watch becomes an individual interpretation of the relationship between car and owner, shaped by the design choices that distinguish one Valhalla from another.
There is also a longer-term dimension to the experience. Customers who purchase a watch through the programme receive a five-year membership to the Breitling Social Club, a private members’ destination scheduled to open in Williamsburg, New York, in late 2027.
Conceived as a meeting place for collectors, entrepreneurs, creatives, artists and Breitling enthusiasts, the club will offer year-round hospitality, cultural programming and exclusive experiences. It promises to extend the relationship with the brand beyond the timepiece itself, creating a community around shared interests and a common appreciation of design.
The most compelling luxury objects are rarely defined by specification alone. Their appeal lies in the way technical achievement, design and personal meaning come together to create something that feels entirely their owner’s own.
With its bespoke Super Chronomat programme, Breitling brings that idea into focus for Aston Martin Valhalla owners. One represents the cutting edge of British supercar engineering; the other, a legacy of Swiss watchmaking shaped by precision and performance. Together, they offer a rare opportunity to create a personal expression of both.
For the fortunate 999 individuals who will own a Valhalla, the prospect is particularly appealing: a watch conceived not simply to sit alongside the car, but to reflect its character and the tastes of the person behind the wheel.
Two names born from a fascination with speed. One bespoke creation, designed to make the connection last well beyond the drive.
