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. |
