Breitling, the Swiss luxury watchmaker, and Victoria Beckham, the London-based fashion house, have teamed up to release a limited-edition Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection. The collaboration was revealed at a star-studded dinner in Manhattan, where some of fashion's biggest names gathered for an intimate celebration.

The dinner was hosted at the iconic Indochine Restaurant in NoHo, a hotspot for cultural icons since it opened in 1984. The launch brought together an exclusive list of VIPs, including the collection's campaign star, Annemary Aderibigbe, and top models Frida Aasen, Lara Worthington, and Helena Christensen. Notable attendees included Breitling ambassadors Misty Copeland and Ronja Furrer, actor Katie Holmes, and author and TV personality Derek Blasberg. The night began with welcome aperitifs, followed by a sit-down dinner featuring Indochine's signature French-Vietnamese fare, and ended with a night of dancing to DJ Elias Becker.

The much-anticipated limited-edition Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection is limited to 1,500 pieces and effortlessly blends heritage and modernity. The line combines over 140 years of Swiss watchmaking and Victoria Beckham's always-on-point design style. Breitling CEO Georges Kern noted, "Victoria Beckham is a brand that defines modern and quiet luxury. Everything is considered and elevated, but with an ease that can be worn from day to night."

Victoria Beckham echoed her sentiments about working closely with Breitling's expert craftsmanship and know-how, bringing her aesthetic to creating something exciting. "This is the perfect watch for women looking for something versatile. It's elevated and chic but still has a relaxed feel to it. The mix of masculine and feminine has always been how I like to dress myself, and I am quite a minimalist at heart," she said.
The Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection retains classic Chronomat features, including the metal rouleaux bracelet and raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, while introducing fresh new colorways inspired by Beckham's Spring/Summer 2024 palette: peppermint, midnight blue, dove gray, and sand. Powered by the Breitling Caliber 10, the co-branded collection features the Victoria Beckham logo on the second hand and as a subtle inscription on the bracelet, with options for cases in stainless steel or yellow gold—an heirloom material revived by Breitling just for this collection.

The dials also reference the limitation, with "One of 400" for each stainless-steel piece and "One of 100" for each gold variation. The stunning campaign, shot by legendary Italian fashion and portrait photographer Mario Sorrenti, features rising star model Annemary Aderibigbe and embodies the strength, sophistication, and touch of the unexpected that characterize both the archetypal Breitling and Victoria Beckham woman.
All the timepieces come in a specially designed, co-branded box. For members of the fashion set who want something extra, a Breitling x Victoria Beckham travel pouch accompanies each gold piece.
