Breitling

Alright Fellas, if you are a dude that enjoys looking cool with all the right toys then you need a Breitling.  For those of you that don’t know; I man is judged by his shoes and his watch! If you have a pair of nice tennis shoes but sporting a Seiko..Dam! “You Aint Getting No Play”. But if your sporting your Breitling then your in the game.  A watch is not only a time piece but also an introduction to your life’s perspective.

 

 

A Breitling is a little expensive but not too much. Yes you’ll need to save up a little but having one on your wrist gives you the feel of empowerment. The watches come in all types of dimensions and sizes. But mostly all are of a nice sturdy feel a noticeable weight.  These watches are great with anything that you wear but remember it’s not an everyday watch let alone wear it around the house. It’s definitely a classy type of watch.

 

1884 - In St. Imier, in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland, Leon Breitling opens a workshop specializing in making chronographs and precision counters for scientific and industrial purposes. In 1914 Leon Breitling dies and the company is passed over to his son Gaston, a year later Gaston creates the first wristwatch chronograph and subsequently provides pilots with the first wrist instruments. By 1923 Breitling had developed the first ever independent chronograph push piece. 1969 saw Breitling introduce the first ever self winding chronograph. This technical feat represents a major breakthrough for the entire Swiss watch industry. 1979 saw the takeover of Breitling from the founder’s grandson Willy. Ernest Schneider takes the helm. In 1984 The Chronometer is launched and marks the return of the chronograph. It becomes the best selling line in the Breitling collection, a position it has held ever since. Soon afterwards in 1985, the Breitling Aerospace is launched. Today, Breitling is still established in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the town where Leon Breitling opened his first chronograph factory 110 years earlier.

A Breitling is not only a great time piece, but is well known and recognized in the air force. I own a “Chronograph” and a “Hercules” and man let me tell you that I get great compliments from people that know watches Sometimes you’ll get some dudes hating, but those that are cool and understand the brand will always ask where and how much. For a Breitling you are looking to spend anywhere from 2,000-6,000 for a nice watch. The Best place to go for them is “Tourneau Watches”. You can’t find them just anywhere! And yes avoid buying them online, Breitling doesn’t sell their watches online if you do see one it’s probably a fake.
