Now back just after the turn of the century, I briefly worked for a small little company that sold watches in San Francisco and other places…
This was 2003, and Breitling seemed to have captured the entire Bay area's imagination.
We had Rolex, Cartier and OMEGA, but it was Breitling that seemed to generate the most conversations.
With BaselWorld right around the corner, we are all hyped-up to see the latest, and greatest. But there is something to be said for the classics. And the Montbrillant 01 fits that title. Here are the details -
