Hi guys, saw some references on the web mentioning a Breitling museum in Switzerland that has vintage Breitlings, anyone been there and be kind enough to share some pics and info on it, Thanks Here's one of the quotes from a seller Quote: This is A Rare Breitling you may NOT see again, unless you visit the BREITLING MUSEUM in Switzerland, where you can see this watch, along with the the other RAREST of all BREITLINGS in BREITLINGS' permanent vintage collection.

Ive not heard of an official Breitling museum in switzerland , I agree they should have one and maybe they have now ? but the only references I can find to it are from those posts you linked to, might just be part of the sales blurb of that seller ? would be fun to visit that said museum though |

Breitling has it's own collection at their HQ that they sometimes refer to as their museum. |

Thanks Roff, would be interesting to know if they have mostly modern watches or a sizeable vintage collection on display, considering all the heritage inspired models they have been bringing out. |

They were certainly showing a "collection" back in 2003. There was also some debate about a Spanish exhibition that had watches that also appeared in "Breitling The Book". Try a search for that. Vintage Collection The Unofficial Breitling FAQ is proud to present the Breitling USA Vintage Collection courtesy of Breitling USA and Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers. While Breitling continues to strategically add historically important pieces to the collection, it is presented here in its entirety as of November 22, 2003. The descriptions come directly from Breitling USA, although any information pertaining to serial numbers has been intentionally omitted. Please click the thumbnails to view larger images. Note that there is no item #11; this is not an error. Enjoy! http://people.timezone.com/breitling/bf ... ction.html |
