The newest Bentley is a beast (no surprises there). The Bentayga is an SUV, but it’s an SUV in the same way the battleship USS Missouri is a boat. It’s what you get when Bentley does the SUV, in other words; which is to say it is lavish with a capital L in every aspect from its sheer size and weight, to its almost absurd power (the darned thing has a twin turbo W12 engine and will do 187 mph, according to Bentley, so if you’ve been lying awake at night wishing your heart out for a chance to go faster than an F-18 at takeoff in an SUV, you can stop wishing).

Naturally, you don’t build a machine that can probably follow a main battle tank through Nature’s roughest terrain, and do 187 mph, and that has a champagne fridge in the boot (for real) without taking considerable pains with every other aspect of the vehicle, and in order that you may better tell the time whilst flattening careless wildlife with scarcely a detectable rattle in the opulently turned out cabin, Breitling has partnered with Bentley’s in-house custom coach workshop, Mulliner, to make what is, all kidding aside, a pretty darned unusual dash clock.
