Discover how Posh Spice channels her sophisticated style into an exclusive timepiece collection with Breitling. The partnership marks Breitling's first collaboration with a fashion house.
Victoria Beckham, once known as Posh Spice, has expanded her illustrious career into the realm of horology. After years of cultivating her collection, the celebrated fashion icon and designer has partnered with Breitling, introducing her debut watch collection. This partnership brings to life the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham, blending Beckham's signature sophisticated style with Breitling's Swiss precision. Available in either stainless steel or gold, this time-and-date model features an elegant integrated bracelet and offers a choice between bold blue or green dials, with additional options for silver and Champagne dials. This collaboration not only signifies a significant achievement for Beckham but also commemorates Breitling's 140th anniversary, highlighting the brand's storied heritage which Beckham cites as a key factor in her collaboration decision.
"I was very attracted by the heritage of Breitling as a brand," Beckham remarked. "I like what they have stood for over a century. That’s always been very important to me when investing in a watch—I want a watch that I will wear for many years and then pass down to my children."
A Journey from Fashion to Horology
Beckham's foray into watch design marks a new challenge in her career. Despite her extensive experience in fashion, she discovered that designing timepieces presented unique constraints, particularly due to the smaller scale of the work. "When it comes to designing watches, there are a lot more constraints than, for instance, designing a ready-to-wear collection," Beckham explained. This venture into watchmaking has been both a challenge and a learning experience for her, collaborating closely with Breitling to bring her vision to life within the intricate confines of watch design.
The Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham Collection
The most striking feature of the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection is its distinctive dial colors paired with the choice of stainless steel or yellow gold. Beckham emphasizes the importance of color in conveying the desired emotion and aesthetic of her designs. This attention to detail is evident in the four unique dial shades Breitling has exclusively crafted for her line. Moreover, Beckham's ambition to innovate within the collection led to the introduction of the first yellow gold model in the modern Chronomat series.
The collection features Breitling’s COSC-certified, self-winding Caliber 10 movement, distinguishing itself with stainless steel variants and exclusive editions that boast lab-grown diamond hour markers, each offered in a limited series of 400 pieces. The luxurious yellow gold models, limited to just 100 pieces, stand as a testament to rarity and sophistication, making them a coveted treasure for any watch aficionado's collection.
Victoria Beckham's entry into watch design with the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection not only underscores her versatility and innovation as a designer but also marks a significant moment in Breitling's history, blending tradition with contemporary elegance.
