For the uninitiated let me just say that my Breitling wristwatch is my most prized possesion. In other words us Breitling accumulators are a bit nuts. You’d have to be to spend so much cash for a watch when a fifteen dollar quarts digital is all you need to tell time.
My sentiment is that the author of this book might just as well have been writing regarding a lot of other collectable such as Snoopy or South Park action figures. I felt that he didn’t genuinely have the enthusiam for the subject which is a shame. I’d recompense a lot for a genuinely good book on Breitling.

Good Stuff
By Randy Given
This has a heap of good stuff, but it is for a mixed audience, so none may be completely satisfied. For horologists, there is a reasonable amount of movements shown, with a great deal of of them “exploded” to show all of their parts. For historians, there is a lot of good old-time promotion and photos. For collectors, of course, you get to see a whole bunch of the product line back over a hundred years ago. The price list is minimal and ten years out of date, so it is not as relevant, but not altogether useless either. Still, not a bad offering.

Not sure what to say in regards to this.
By David Hess
I was a little amazed by the book, it’s now 12 years old and outdated, the pictures are all black and white, and it does not have much writing, I read it from cover to cover in with regards to 1.5 hours. The pictures are good quality, though some are from Breitling advertisements.
It would be nice to see it updated, in color and have a great deal of history behind it. It does not explain anything with regards to the Breitling Emergency watch, it just shows a picture! I was a little disappointed.
