 Apart from just being a timepiece,
wristwatches have long been an emblem of elegance and subtle taste. People
yearn for chic watches; those who can't afford real ones, go for replicas - but
they must have one. You see, the evolution and popularity of replicas
themselves manifest how people adore modish brands of chronometers. And among
all the classy chronometers, Breitling watches are the ones that are most
esteemed and people are most passionate about.
For more than 120 years,
Breitling watches are the finest among the collection in a man's wardrobe. The
range of Breitling watches are known for their stylish and robust look &
feel and exactitude in keeping time. All the Breitlings are manufactured in
Switzerland with genuine Swiss mechanism and components. They have a big fan
base among the celebrities. Breitlings are among the rare brands that add worth
to the taste and class of the celebrities and zoom in their starry profiles.
And the history of Breitling takes off with that of the aviation industry.
Man's Breitling watches have been the choice of the aviators for over a century
now and these are official watches of a number of armies as well.
The prodigy came off in 1884 by Leon
Breitling in a city of Switzerland called St. Imier. Leon set off to produce
best-of-the-class technological watches, and in about 30 years he brought in
novel dimensions in chronographic designs. He became the original manufacturer
of the watches to kick off a single push piece and later in 1934 a second push
button was introduced to enable time recording. Their first big-bang was the «Chronomat»
launched in 1942. In 1952, came the «Navitimer» - the first wristwatch to dock
a built-in computer for navigation. This model became an aviation brand and
earned the status of AOPA's (Airline Owners and Pilots Association) official
watch. Breitling soared to the space with astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962 as
the «Cosmonaute» and soared far beyond its competitors in popularity as well as
eminence. After Leon, Ernest Schneider was the other key figure in bringing
another revolution in the Breitling brand. A retired aviator and watch
connoisseur who took over the company from Will Breitling in 1979, Schneider
brought in fresh sporty and elegant watch lines to earn a new trend in the
brand. His two big hits were the multifunctional «Aerospace» (1985) and «Emergency»
(1995). The «Aerospace» was a Titanium-made electric timepiece and the «Emergency»
incorporated an integrated transmitter for sending out emergency frequency from
the aircraft.
The certification that Breitling watches
offer on all its moving components of all the models is what distinguishes it
from its elegant counterparts. All the Breitlings are tough nuts and
exclusively designed for rigorous use. Yet, the case of any Breitling watch
stands out for its meticulous finish. The core of Breitling's eminence is this
fusion of robustness and sophistication. Breitlings' dials are built and
installed to be visible at a glimpse. The anti-scratch and anti-glare sapphires
inside the watches bring in this visual ease and the touch of grace Breitling
watches are admired for. With all these,
Breitlings are a super-fit for any milieu and mood - whether you are in
a formal wear and in exclusively bureaucratic setting, swimming in the club,
tanning your skin in the beach or golfing in the greenery - a Breitling never
fails to tone in with you and the scene.
Breitling has its biggest niche in the
aviation industry and there is hardly any other brand that has such a
long-established alcove. Breitling focused to produce aviation- exclusive
watches soon after the onset of World War I, first time when the airplanes as
combat machines were in vogue, and they had big success. During the Second
World War, their «Chronomat» that came for the first time with a circular slide
ruler to feedback navigational purposes earned the status as a premium
aviator's wristwatch. Breitling watches became the choice of the RAF (Royal Air
Force) and later the US armed services and functionally, these acknowledgements
eased its way to become the «clocks for cockpits». Breitlings typically have
large faces for better visibilities of both time other information on the
analog dials («Breitling for Bentley Motors» edition has a case diameter of
44mm). Some other models have purely mechanical automatic winding mechanism.
And many of the Breitlings are armed with sophisticated features like split-second,
fly-back function, moon phase, date display and other complex feedbacks.
Now, this chic time gadget is without doubt
a high-end product and many would not afford a genuine piece. For them replica
Breitlings are a great choice. These replicas from Breitling are manufactured scrupulously
with all the details and it's unlikely that you can differentiate it from an
original piece with your eyes. Replica Breitlings are available in almost all
the brands and you'd get even the replica in a few weeks after the launch of a new
model.
So...go a Breitling spree with the one you
afford!
