And though we respect anyone who isn’t keen on wearing watches with co-branded dials, we think you’ll want to make an exception for these automotive models. The last time we took notice of the Top Time model was part of a collaboration with Australian brand Deus Ex Machina. That’s certainly not the case with Breitling’s new Top Time Classic Cars Capsule Collection, which imbues the spirit of three automotive icons from the ‘60s - the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, Shelby Cobra and Ford Mustang - into a chronograph that we’ve previously championed. But what often happens when a brand pairs classic cars and wristwatches is the priority of nostalgia over good design, leaving you with what is essentially a pricey Happy Meal toy. Sure, we like the Shinola Canfield Speedway, a retro racing piece, and much of what is happening at motoring-specific brand Autodromo. The symbiotic relationship between cars and watches goes back decades, but recent years have shown watchmakers mashing them up more than ever before.
