Breitling USA lists their address as:
Hangar 7, 206 Danbury Rd, Wilton, Connecticut 06897

Here's the Google Street View picture of the 'Hangar':

Some Hangar. Looks like an office park to me. Why the fake marketing?

Haha! You have too much time on your hands, interesting tho! Looks like it could do with a bit of a makeover!

Cheers

Wow, :wowzers I sure hope that is the backside of the building. Not too eye appealing is it? :shock:

I've personally been there and it was just a two floor office building...it was a huge let down! It's quite small, I was expecting a much larger extravagant building.

Yep, it's an office park style building, with a gas station next door, even!
The "Hangar" is an obvious reference to the aviation connection that Breitling has. The "7" refers to CT Route Seven, which is what Danbury Roads official moniker is. Personally, I like the interior public spaces of this building. Very modern.
In terms of the outside, it's certainly better than the original office in Stamford, CT (back when BUSA didn't even have a working safe to secure the watches at night!).

That pic looks like it was taken right after a hurricane. You think for a couple grand per watch they could hire someone to sweep up the leaves. :?

Oh for goodness sakes, Breitling is a business.... If you expect a palace go to Buk House (forgive the pun).

That looks awfully depressing. I wonder if the Rolex USA office looks any better :D

Rolex USA is in a ritzy building on Fifth Avenue in NYC.

I drive by there almost ever year when I am out there on vacation. It looks a little better than the picture. I hope to stop in there this August when I am out there.
