Thought I'd post this rare Breitling from the start of the Schneider era. Not something I'd wear but a collectible piece. This is only the second one I've ever seen and it works great. Brochure pic too.

I've had quite a few of them from the first catalog. There are still a few in there I've never seen. This one is weird that it doesn't have a crown and you set the time by inserting a pin, or nail, into the depression in the right side and it starts rotating the hands. All of the first catalog watches were quartz and many had their origins with other brands. Whatever it took to get things rolling for Schneider I suppose. ;-)
