As some of you may have seen I bought recently a used Breitling B-1, a watch I was aware of and looking for some time. I guess by now 20+ years since its release, every detail about the various iterations, special editions etcetera, are known to most o…

Hello to all Breitling fans.
As a long time Breitling collector, starting with a Chronomat in 1994, i have seen most of its changes in design and appearance. From Ernest handing over to Teddy Schneider to CVC and Kern take over in 2017. My question is…

So Georges Kern was appointed as the new CEO of Breitling in 2017. A change was necessary and I’ve seen a lot of positive reactions to his changes. Personally I can’t seem to join in to the enthusiasm. I started buying Breitling for the link to aviation. It differentiated Breitling from other brands. Today they seem to be all over the place.

I did a search for Straps and such on the forum but couldn’t really narrow it down to just Breitlings. Anyway I started wearing my Breitlings on straps and just can’t say how much I enjoy the changes, immediate and dramatic. Not only in looks,feel,comfort, but also in a weird newness. “Also I have always been jealous of the Panerai guys and all the cool straps”… So if you have any pics of your favorite one on a strap, please post it up and show it off,
along with your mad camera…
