Earlier this year we visited the Breitling roadshow in Zürich, Switzerland, and had a sit-down with CEO Georges Kern. He was incredibly open to us (as you can read here) and the new collections were well received, including the new Navitimer 8 models.

World’s leading online marketplace of watches Chrono24, did a profile on Breitling and put it in an interesting infographic. We would like to share this infographic with you, and perhaps you see something that is new to you and might spark your interest in them.

This infographic was made by Chrono24.com.

Cut and paste from – http://atickoftime.blogspot… On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth and the third American up in space on the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. Around his wrist was a Tag Heuer Stop Watch. With his statement, “The Clock is Running”, he orbited the earth three times. The flight took 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds. The Tag Heuer was fashioned with elastic bands to fit over the space suit. NASA chose Tag Heuer as the watch of chose able to withstand the intense G-forces of lift off.To celebrate Tag Heuer’s 50th anniversary the first watch company in space, Tag Heuer unveiled the 43mm Tag Heuer Carrera SpaceX 1887 Chronograph

  Hi,Thanks for the comment. We know about the Heuer stopwatch but that is indeed what it is, a stopwatch. The Breitling was a chronograph watch, also indicating time. Many watches have gone up ever since, from Omega to Rolex and Seiko. However, the official NASA issued piece for EVA remains the Speedmaster Professional. On board, we believe NASA astronauts can wear whatever they want.
