Breitling partners with Palladium Fashion Avenue for luxury watch event in Chennai
Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling hosted an exclusive showcase at its Palladium Chennai boutique as part of the ongoing Palladium Fashion Avenue celebration. The event marked the debut of Breitling's 'Top Time B31' collection in India and welcomed a group of high-net-worth individuals and notable Chennai personalities including playback singer Saindhavi, actor Vasuki, and socialite Kiran Hein.
The evening also welcomed members of the GMT Watch Committee, offering guests an immersive introduction to Breitling's horological brand legacy, the label announced in a press release. Set within the luxury retail environment of Palladium, the gathering reflected the mall's focus on delivering premium lifestyle experiences tailored for local premium shoppers.
Designed with a nod to 1960s motorsport chronographs, Breitling's Top Time B31 collection merges precision engineering with retro aesthetics. Following the event, the watches are now available at the Breitling boutique located in Phoenix Marketcity Chennai.
Palladium Chennai's partnership with Breitling reinforces its commitment to high-end retail and was designed to deepen its connection to Chennai's global facing and affluent customer base. By holding in-store events, malls seek to drive footfall and offer experiences which cannot be replicated in the fast growing world of online retail.

UK and US buyers snap up used Rolex and Patek Philippe ahead of tariffs
Watch enthusiasts snapped up used Rolex SA and Patek Philippe SA timepieces at the end of April, splashing out before possible tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. Watch dealer and trading platform Subdial typically records a surge in activity after customers receive their end-of-month paychecks. In April, post-payday trading volume jumped 160% above normal levels—well beyond the 112% average increase seen on previous paydays over the past year. The volume growth was particularly strong in the U.S. and UK, Christy Davis, founder of London-based Subdial, said in an interview. 'People heard about the tariffs and went, 'Oh shoot, let's buy now,'' Davis said. 'They waited for payday and then sales volumes just went through the roof.' The phenomenon echoed another trend seen in Switzerland, where watch exports jumped by nearly a fifth in April — with shipments to the U.S. more than doubling ahead of expanded tariffs threatened by Trump. Watches made from precious metals, steel and bimetallic materials — products also targeted by Trump — saw the most growth, according to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry. The U.S. jump was likely a one-off response by exporters seeking to avoid higher tariffs, rather than a structural increase in demand, Jean-Philippe Bertschy, an analyst at Vontobel, said in a note. Swiss watch exports fell 6.4% to the rest of the world in the month, continuing a weak start to the year. The secondary watch market has rebounded gradually since February's post-pandemic lows. Since reaching that nadir, the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index has risen about 5.3% through late May, returning to levels last seen in October. It remains far from the levels it reached three years ago, when prices of used luxury watches surged as Covid lockdowns ended.
