IF IT SURVIVED AN EXPEDITION ACROSS THE ALPS AND UP TO THE ARCTIC. AND BACK. ON A MOTORCYCLE. IT CAN SURVIVE ALMOST ANYTHING.
Introducing the special edition collection, made in collaboration with Breitling and Malle London. Collaborators in adventures, travel and time.
Several years ago Breitling joined forces with Malle as the official timing partner of The Great Malle Rally – The longest motorcycle rally across Great Britain, then across every country in The Alps and now up into The Arctic. With the Malle team using Breitling Chronomats to time every stage of the Malle Rally adventures.
During one of the first Alpine Rally research trips, Malle were testing their adventure accessories up in the Swiss Mountains and a capsule collection with Breitling was very soon on the cards. Three Malle designs were selected by the Breitling design team. The first prototypes were then strapped to custom motorcycles and tested in the next 1500 mile rally adventure across The Alps and then in another 5500 mile motorcycle expedition into The Arctic.
The fact that these designs were first tested on a motorcycle expedition, means they have to be lightweight, water-resistant, dirt-resistant and extremely durable. Which makes each design perfect for daily travel and global adventures alike. Keeping your essentials dry, protected and organised in a timeless and utilitarian British design.
MALLE DESIGN AND RESEARCH
PREPARED TO GET LOST
–
With many shared values, like Breitling, Malle take their research and product testing very seriously and it’s always an opportunity to embark on a new adventure, to get out of the design studio, push boundaries and to live and breath the product development experience, with real world testing.
We love testing our products in harsh environments, in all weather conditions, to ensure it meets the Malle level of craftsmanship and durability.
After 6500 miles of research expeditions, we know exactly what these designs can do. Only after you’ve used, opened and closed a piece of luggage 100+ times, in the cold, with the rain in your face, do you really know how it performs.
Pushing boundaries and exploring new terrain is where this Breitling x Malle collection story first began and where the original designs were first tested. We’re excited about where our community will take them next.
