Breitling opens the Super Chronomat to Aston Martin Valhalla owners
Breitling lets Aston Martin Valhalla owners commission a bespoke Super Chronomat: a titanium perpetual calendar chronograph or a 38 mm automatic with diamonds.
Some collaborations end at a shared logo. The latest one from Breitling goes considerably further: owners of the Aston Martin Valhalla can commission a Super Chronomat shaped around their own car. As Official Watch Partner to Aston Martin, the Swiss watchmaker is opening the design process of one of its most distinctive collections to a very small circle of clients, and it is doing so for the first time.
A car that sets the bar
The reference point is demanding. Valhalla is Aston Martin’s first series-production, mid-engine plug-in hybrid supercar, with aerodynamics and engineering drawn from racing and infused with Formula 1 technology. A 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 works together with three electric motors for 1,079 PS, enough for 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 349 km/h. Only 999 examples will be built worldwide, which already defines how exclusive the watch programme is.
From specification sheet to dial
Owners work through a dedicated Breitling configurator. The starting point is the specification of their own Valhalla, the finish is personal taste: colours, details and engravings are chosen so that the watch reads like an extension of the car rather than a souvenir of it. Two models are available.
Super Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
The flagship brings together one of watchmaking’s rarest pairings, an automatic chronograph with a perpetual calendar. Its 44 mm case is titanium, worn on Breitling’s signature Rouleaux bracelet, and the dial is carbon fibre. Through the display caseback the black rotor and the movement remain in full view. The calendar follows month lengths, moon phases, passing years and leap years and needs no major manual adjustment until the year 2100, while a 96-hour power reserve lets the watch rest for four days and still keep its place. Owners choose the colour of the rehaut, the seconds hand and the counter hands, and can add a personal engraving on the rotor.
Super Chronomat Automatic 38
The smaller model pairs a 38 mm stainless-steel case and Rouleaux bracelet with a textured carbon-fibre dial and a diamond-set bezel. Three hands and a discreet date aperture at six o’clock keep the display calm, while the carbon dial brings a true automotive performance material to the wrist. Here the personalisation covers the colour of the rehaut and hands, plus an engraving on the caseback.
Two workshops, one standard
Both objects come from places with a reputation of their own. Valhalla is manufactured at Aston Martin’s global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, while the Super Chronomat is crafted at the Breitling Chronométrie in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Georges Kern, CEO of House of Brands, sums up the idea in one line: “Now we are bringing that same experience to the wrist.” For Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin, each watch becomes “a natural extension of the car itself”.
An invitation beyond the watch
Buyers also receive a five-year membership of the Breitling Social Club. The private members’ club in Williamsburg, New York, is scheduled to open in late 2027 and is planned as a year-round meeting place for collectors, entrepreneurs, creatives and artists, with hospitality, culture and exclusive experiences.
Why it matters
For a studio that builds digital experiences for luxury brands, the programme is a clear signal. Personalisation is moving from the options list into the product itself, and the configurator becomes the place where brand and client actually meet. Breitling and Aston Martin show how two houses can share one customer without diluting either signature.
