Icon20 ...since 1884...WELCOME BREITLING to our Las Vegas gathering!!!!!!!!

Dear WisCon attendees:

It is with GREAT pleasure that I share with you this INCREDIBLE information:

Our friends from BREITLING -who just opened a brand new boutique in Las Vegas a few DAYS ago- will be joining us during our gathering!!!!!

This is the FIRST time we welcome Breitling to our group; a company doing some beautiful work with timepieces such as the Ref. 806 1959 re-edition



and their Premier collection (images property of Breitling SA)




WELCOME Breitling, and thank you for trusting us!

Source: WatchTime magazine (About the COSC, Jan 30, 2019):

According to a report from 2015 — which is the last year that the COSC will publish the exact figures citing a request from the brands to protect their confidentiality — the three companies that receive the most COSC-certified timepieces aren’t all that surprising. Rolex is numero uno with 795,716 watches, Omega is second with 511,861, and Breitling is third with 147,917 total timepieces

It is a UNIQUE opportunity to learn more about them. I have always been fascinated by their designs, and also by the fact that they are always in top 3 COSC movement certifications (by number of movements). I have to admit that the new line is interesting...this will be fun!

My pleasure!

Brands don’t tell me ‘what’ they will bring, so far, they have never disappointed

Funnily enough Gerardo, I tried this on in their boutique today. It was REALLY nice. Surprisingly so in fact!

And the fact they actually wanted to sell it to me gave them a USP over Rolex

G - And (roll drum), now Breitling!.... no doubt, you are on a Big roll.... your crew will need jet shoes to run from one place to another to see all the WISCON events you've lined up. Bravo!

(Well.... not Chad, though, he's in a league by himself - faster than the speed(o) of light!!
