Book Description
Breitling--one watch has made this name famous worldwide, the Navitimer. In 1952 this watch was a real sensation. The chronograph, along with the calculator, enabled the pilot to carry out all necessary calculations during flight. The Navitimer became a valuable on-board instrument at that time, and remains a valuable collectible today.
Breitling did not develop watches just for pilots and the aircraft industry. This book shows the whole spectrum of the firm's products since its founding in 1884, and gives the reader informed insight into more than 100 years of the firm's history. Many photos, old catalogs, and advertising material support the informative text. With the help of reference numbers, the collector can also locate individual watches chronologically, and using the newly revised price guide, can price these watches on today's market.
This fascinating portrait of the Breitling firm will enthrall all who appreciate fine mechanical precision.
