Review: A Breitling chronologue is better reading than this.
Actually the K-mart junk mail is better.

Summary: Where's the passion?
Review: For the uninitiated let me just say that my Breitling wristwatch is my most prized possesion. In other words us Breitling collectors are a bit nuts. You'd have to be to spend so much money for a watch when a fifteen dollar quarts digital is all you need to tell time.My feeling is that the author of this book might just as well have been writing about some other collectable such as Snoopy or South Park action figures. I felt that he didn't really have the enthusiam for the subject which is a shame. I'd pay a lot for a really good book on Breitling.

Summary: Good Stuff
Review: This has some good stuff, but it is for a mixed audience, so none may be fully satisfied. For horologists, there is a fair amount of movements shown, with many of them "exploded" to show all of their parts. For historians, there is a lot of good old-time advertising 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 The price list is minimal and ten years out of date, so it is not as relevant, but not completely useless either. Still, not a bad offering.
