The Story
The 1960s was a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether cruising on a motorcycle or revving up a sportscar, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Breitling felt this change of pace and set out to design an unconventional chronograph that would capture the verve of era. He called it the Top Time. That spirited tradition continues today. Breitling partners with some of the coolest names in wheels to create its Top Time designs. The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette, from the 1963 to 1967 model years, is the most sought-after version of the American legend. The “Sting Ray,” as it was known, took inspiration from a 1959 racing-model prototype. For 60 years, it has captured the imaginations of car lovers around the world with its perfect combination of a low-profile body and a powerful engine that delivers performance whether on the road or on the track. The Top Time B21 Chevrolet Corvette features a wooden dial (a reference to the classic-car’s steering wheel), as well as a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and contrasting “squircle” (not quite square, not quite round) subdials that give the feel of vintage dashboard gauges. Inside its chassis of ceramic and titanium hums a brag-worthy engine: the exceptional Chronograph Tourbillon B21 from La Joux-Perret.
