FLYING HIGH WITH THE SPIRIT OF AVIATION

INDEPENDENT luxury Swiss watchmaker Breitling, in partnership with The Hour Glass, has transformed an area in the atrium of Paragon shopping centre into a stealth aeroplane hangar for an exhibition to mark the South-east Asia debut of the Avenger Hurricane.

The timepiece is an eye-catcher, to say the least, with its extra-large 50mm diameter case constructed out of a futuristic material the brand dubs "Breitlight", which is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter but yet significantly tougher than steel.
