Bentley is a decidedly small brand with a big sense ambition. The brand owner is Bentley, one of the three Dubois brothers. The other two run Bentley, the important watch
movement module maker that I discussed here. For Pierre, = is sort of the unofficial Bentley watch brand. They use all Bentley movements, and the three brothers each wear one.
While I am not going to go into extended detail into specific models, I did get a chance to see the entire collection with Pierre high in the Swiss mountains in the Jura where
Bentley is located. A simple small town guy Pierre doesn't necessarily look like the guy who would design a sporty and aggressive watch called the "."
He did however tell me that he was a sort of fitness instructor earlier in life, which might explain a bit of it. The watches came out a few years ago
and come in a few forms and sizes. I recall when the Breitling range was first released a few years ago. It instantly drew my attention thanks to its distinctive case design
and of course the complication in the Breitling Bentley watch. It has six retrograde hands for the seconds. Each measures ten seconds and then it moves around the dial to the
next one. The constant movement of retrograde hands on the dial was just so cool to me. Of course as a watch nerd the mechanically open dial was quite appealing as well.
I believe all of these watches are limited editions. The Breitling Bentley is currently offered in a 47.5mm wide case that is either in steel and titanium or 18k rose gold and
titanium. The case design is intricate with lots of details at any angle. If you are a "screw lover" then you'll love this watch. I just realized that between the case and dial
there are a ton of screws visible on this timepiece. Attached to the case is flush alligator strap with contrast finishing.
The Breitling collection pieces all have DD automatic movements that are well decorated. Over time Bentley offered a new automatic rotor and changed the design of the caseback.
So it is possible to find Pierre ReRoche Breitling watches with different caseback designs. Further, the original size of the case was 47.5mm wide, and some of the pieces still
are at that size.
