BaselWorld 2013: B for Breitling, B for Bentley …

(B for Basel ... Berlin) … C for chronographs


Breitling is known for their chronographs, today and even more when we talk about vintage pieces. They didn´t always have their own movements but even than they have been very innovative. For example: Did you know that the first two-pusher chronographs came from Breitling? Patent-Nr. 105532 from 1923, for a pocket watch. Patent-Nr. 172129 & 175564 from 1934, for a wrist watch. Today we think it is something special to see a chronograph without two-pushers, aren´t we smile


We had the pleasure to see quite a few gorgeous vintage examples (chronographs & more) from a fellow Purist, in the last few months.


Today I would like to share some pictures from Basel 2013, some taken by me and some additional from Breitling.


This year Breitling for Bentley celebrates ten years on the road with three new chronographs equipped with in-house motors.
