Brand of the week Breitling

[willy]

Brietling founded in 1884 this brand really seems to divide watch lovers in two.You love them or hate them.They have a good history especially in the world of aviation where they have achieved many firsts and have won respect for their watches.In recent years they have lost much of that respect because they just seemed to be intrested in making fashion watches with shiny cases and standard ETA calibers.They have been grossly overpriced and this shows in the market for used watches.But they seem to have changed course and are going back to their roots again.They have developed a new caliber that is up there with the best the swiss watch industry can offer.Their designs are becoming less bling and more praticable.They are in my opinion looking at a good future they have a well known brand name and if they continue to develop new calibers that are true inhouse they will win back the respect they were in danger of loosing.And last i would like to point out that not everthing made by them in recent years as been bling.I for one would like Brietling to do what they did in the past develop new ideas and once again be the worlds leading aviation brand.
