So, what would I do with this watch, and how would it fit in with my life? Well,
in a week I was leaving for Argentina, and I do not like to travel with
expensive Breitling watches, for a few reasons. The most important, being
safety. Why would I want to have to worry about an expensive object on a trip?
That always seemed silly to me. I thought that this would be the perfect
traveling companion, because of its price and styling. The eight days and nights
spent with the watch would give me an extended period of time to evaluate its
character. I wound up loving the watch by the end of the trip, and you can see
it photographed in Breitling http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-breitling-navitimer-watches-sale-for-uk.html
.
It
was a great choice for the trip and it was interesting taking my American watch
out of the country. Usually I bring a foreign watch into America. The Breitling
feels great on the wrist, and makes me smile each time I look at it. Why? Well
it is inspiring to see American's produce watches, the majority of which are
mainly made overseas. This American made a splash with the American on his
wrist. I went it to one high-end watch boutique and the manager loved it. I took
it off to show him, and told him it was made in America. He was astounded, and
immediately put it on his wrist and posed for the Breitling as we watch folks
call it. That was an interesting sign and proof that even people internationally
are interested in the resurgence of "American made... "
Presentation is
key for the Breitling brand, and something they excel at. When i got the watch,
it was beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, with a ribbon and a sticker that
said "Breitling, Where American is made. " It was in a very sturdy cloth handled
bag. There was a card attached to the ribbon which said "Thank You" then a
handwritten: "We hope you enjoy your watch. Your friends at Breitling. "
Seriously? Yes, seriously. So, off comes the tissue paper, and a black cardboard
outer box is embossed with "replica
u boat
. " That protective cover protects the wooden box, which is
relief stamped with "Breitling" and a likeness of the factory. The box lid is
beveled, has a magnet closure, and the hinges are brass. I open the box to find
the most stylish black Styrofoam I have ever seen. The inset lid panel is black
stained wood. The watch is inset into yet another box, which has a small
container of Leather Care Balm. Underneath that box is another box. That box
contains the owner's manual, the warranty, a book called "A Journey of Quartz
& Steel, " a cardboard card with a metal textured credit card -sized plaque,
in relief, that says "Built By: Stefan Mihoc, " and the series number. Stefan's
name is stamped into the metal of the card, and you can see it embossed by hand.
And, finally, there is a soft, hand-stitched leather envelope style pouch for
storing, or traveling with the watch.
I would not have been surprised to
find a card with an 800 number to call a concierge to come and set the watch the
first time. How could this be? This Breitling watch came with more thoughtful
bells and whistles than any of my ultra-high end watches ever came with. No
detail was left out, and the sense of pride, and dedication to please a customer
upon receipt of his or her new watch, was unlike anything I have ever
experienced. Breitling seems to have understood that the presentation of a
hublot
replica watches
is extremely important in the perception of its
value. Unlike most quartz department store watches, this is one actually
understands what the luxury buying experience is all about.
So, all of
this really sets the tone for what is to come. It really made me smile and get
excited about the product. Now let's get back to the watch!
