“What are you rebelling against?” Marlon Brando was asked in the 1953 movie The Wild One. “What have you got?” replied Marlon from the saddle of his Triumph racer bike.
This statement and this movie were the kickstart to café racer culture. The distinctive ice blue colorway to be found on the dials of the new Top Time Triumph watches and the new Triumph Speed Twin Bikes is inspired by the color of Brando’s racer in the movie. To be exact, the color is a tribute to a blue Triumph Thunderbird 6T from 1951, and a rare, blue-dialed Breitling Top Time Ref. 815 from the 1970s.
The original watch entered pop culture perpetuity by being the first “modified” James Bond watch, kitted out by Q Branch to include a handy Geiger counter in the 1965 Bond movie Thunderball.
No one’s claiming you’re going to be quite as cool as Marlon Brando in The Wild One, but whether you opt for the bike or the watch or both, your cool quotient should definitely improve.
