This year is Breitling’s 140th anniversary. Like any decent watch brand, it’s celebrating itself in a number of ways, but I was surprised and delighted when a traveling exhibit of historic Breitling watches made a stop at my local Breitling Boutique in Chicago last week. The collection includes 17 vintage Breitling timepieces, from a cockpit clock to a Breitling Emergency.Â
While the collection started here in Chicago, it’s on a roadshow throughout the States for the rest of the year, so it might be headed your way; Breitling also has similar traveling exhibits in other regions worldwide.
