Default Buy a Breitling Tourbillon clock for an SUV?

I think the world has truly gone mad.
There is $160k option of having a Breitling Tourbillon clock option in the new Bentley Bentayga SUV. For another measly $229k you can have the rest of the Bentley attached to it...

It's all relative to the people who have that amount of wealth that would buy the Bentley. Like someone thinking I am from Mars for spending $7000 on a preamp. It's all relative.

I can see the owner somewhat concerned about leaving it parked anywhere and coming back to a busted window and the missing wart clock. I can picture Peter Clemenza like dialog (Godfather scene Leave the gun, take the canoli)
Take the Breitling, leave the Bentley....

At the end of the day, it's still a Breitling ...

Since when Breitling is famous for a tourbillon mechanism ?
