We asked Breitling boss Georges Kern to admit what his favourite is 

Yeah, but you can still get the Breitling V1 Alpha pieces if you want em - the new Night Mission Avenger is total Breitling V1.

What an honour, @watchfred in the house! You must remember me for many years pre-Kern being a fanboy on your Insta account - so many stunning Breitling models that at that time were gathering dust. Thank you for opening GK's eyes, and giving Breitling this super exciting new lease on life - Andrew

What a story!! And you’re a legend @watchfred .. this is exactly what brands need to do, learn and listen to their best supporters and collectors 👍🏻 they don’t need to reinvent the wheel, They need to find the best wheel that they already made!! 🙌🏻

@@aDocandhisWatch thank you!

Thanks Matthew, much appreciated

Meeting GK changed my view, too. But most of all, that salmon Datora, and then the pistachio chrono, then the Premier line in general, then, then.... - Andrew

Yogic breathing?

Same here . My Marine Blue Colt 41 with the winged Breitling logo and detailed dial will always be a part of mu collection.

Me too! My wife bought me a colt chrono a73380 20 years ago! Blue dial on the professional Ii bracelet. It captured my attention then and i consider Breitling my brand. I'm glad he discontinued the Colt and kept the Avenger but in history the Colt and more importantly the Chronomat, saved the company!

Bought one on 1995, since had on my wrist leaving the store. It went over some hard and mild times. Surfing,Skiing, diving and more. Well still here next to me, running like when I bought, not a single scratch on the glass, sapphire or any other name people call. The Colt is Breitiling working horse. Have it for a bit over 30 years and and no sign of fatigue. My Chronomat from 88, which was my baby got stolen. Was my second expensive watch and the only one was planned. The first one was a Ferrari bought in a city call Ancona on the Adriatic sea . Was only 22 years old visiting a friend in N Y, went to meet him at his job and go for a happy hour in a special bar. Went him asked the girl at the reception, so walking to his office i Hear. Models have to go to the other direction. Said cool I'm not one.my friend work on this side. She came up to me looked head to toes a few times, and two days later was signing a contract, it happen 8 months before buying my Ferrari. Just like that was making good money and going to Europe back to N Y, home in L A. Was like my dream came true, travelling the world earning real money. Went out to buy a nice coat, went in the boutique paid for it and left. Stop on the corner turn my head when saw the watch, walk to take a good look at it. Liked and went in, asked how much, U$ 950 in 86 was not cheap. A 22 Brazilian with money in his pocket thought, I want got the money pay and lets go, so I did. Did not know never seen a Breitling, if I did a Chono with the leather bracelet and the marks on gold was 450 over. Five months later felt riding my motorcycle, not even a single drop of blood, scratch on me and the bike. When had my arms around to lift it up saw the watch, was a goner. Around 16 months ago was reading one of these comments, a guy was talking like a kid, His watch a Rolex would be at the shop in a couple of days. He paid 60 thou pounds for it, went on saying i know i did the right thing. Much better than buy a Porsche, money well invested. Had to ask him, good happy for you, now tell me how many Porsches do you have and models? I never had one drive my Audi A4, buy a 911 is not a good investment. When you drive out the dealer you just lost 20%, true but you will have lots of fun driving. Are you wearing your watch now? No is in my safe. See people paying millions and for terrible looking watches, tacky. I despise people that pay that much for a tool. I was never too rich bad had my moments, sold a Rolex my father gave me before he passed away. Now never sold the two he had some kind of special feeling for, one is an Omega constellation his father bought before coming back from the II War he fought in Italy, later he gave to my dad. The other a Mido 60 multifort. Sell everything, apartment, paints, car even my socks buy my nice Sailboat and sail away

🙌

Beautiful job with the production of this video/ interview with Mr. Kern. I was in the watch business and was always “Rolex centric”. Breitling was never on my radar as a watch brand I could really embrace…until Mr. Kern took the helm. I now have one in my collection and it definitely won’t be my last.

Hard to deny now the diversity is there

This is so kind, thank you 🙏🏻

And winner of todays contest 🏆

Appreciate the kind (true) words 🍭

Pleasure

Andrew here, god I was excited in this video - guilty as charged!

They're getting there with the Aviation updates, slowly and surely. Good to see the in-house chrono rolling out.

@@Timeandtidewatches agreed. Thanks for a great interview Andrew! I was only at that boutique yesterday evening - wish I had seen you two. As an Airline Pilot currently looking for a new timepiece, it is mildly frustrating to wait for something I will invest in. How can I get a role with them being a consultant / adviser? 🙏 Having said that, the Navitimers are beautiful, GK was great and Andrew your passion and presence is excellent. Onya bloke 🥃

High praise Gorn, thank you man

Good question as I too want to know. I can tell you that the entire company is set up on SalesForce and that Salesfores is apart of WEF. High chance that the customer data base is being sold in some regards to them for data collection.

Marcus wins again !

Yeah Marcus is a legend

Good call

Thank you thank you, GK was very open minded which made it great.

Can you please tell me where the store is located? Thanks

🙌 agree, think Premier, but also that bullet bracelet Chronomat

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Ha never fear, T+T is my home 🏠

Thicc but still sexy

Great story man, thank you - and yes, I enjoyed this one! Andrew + Marcus

🙌

100% but it made for some great candid answers and viewing 🍿

The simplicity of the new offering works - Air / Land / Sea - and the Land watches are the real shots in the arm.

@Timeandtidewatches a great collection of watches and definitely a shot in the arm for breitling fans , and future owners too

@@markbowman7240 Andrew here, I so badly want one of the Premier models rn

@Timeandtidewatches andrew , they are a stunning watch , and the history too makes them stand out 🙌

the pistachio dial .is really cool ..

💀

Getting @watchfred on board, too. Really good moves.

Without a doubt. He's the guy with his finger on the pulse.​@Timeandtidewatches

Pretty fired up, yes indeed, my first interview with GK - nerve wracking and awesome! Andrew

Thanks a lot 🙌

This is a great comment! Thank you - Andrew

@@Timeandtidewatchescan you please tell me where the store is located? Thanks

Good question, a little late, will ask it if we can.

@@Timeandtidewatches thank you! I'm sure you couldn't argue with that question. 😁

Thanks Justin, wow, this is some proper barracking going on here from the stands!

I remember that era well

Guilty of being a tad overexcited, my apologies - Andrew

this did not escape me and I like it very much!:D@@Timeandtidewatches

🙌

There's an Avenger in the full video I think??

Nope just a wait and see comment at the end, also did he give a update on the new Aerospace?

Obviously avenger isn’t his fav watch 😂😂

I'm a Londoner now

Good on you Andrew… Cheers from California

@@josephmarucci3528 ✌

To be fair, he does choose one in the end haha

Because you need your eyes checked?? Perfectly in focus to my eyes! Thank for watching- Andrew

It’s not his income - it’s Breitling’s revenue.

@@Timeandtidewatches "Mr. four-billion dollar man". Give credit to the company and not the man. Friend. ...love the channel and keep up the good work.

#9 in overall Swiss market share. Pretty sad to limit yourself to 8 brands and I bet you call yourself an enthusiast.
