I had a superb day yesterday at the Breitling Chronometrie.

The facility was incredible. Our host, Fabrice, was clearly very passionate and very knowledgable.

On top of all this the hospitality we received was fantastic.

I shall be putting together a full write-up with pictures in the very near future.

I got the impression that you were all slightly jealous of me for being allowed this opportunity through my position at Andrew Michaels Jewellers. This is understandable, I would have felt the same and I did feel incredible lucky and priveleged. However, it was announced on the day that the Chronometrie tour will be available to the general public, for an undisclosed fee, next year.

I could not recommend it enough. I'll make an announcement when more details are available and then I would encourage you to get your name down.

Like others here I have lost a bit love for Breitling over the last few years. This experience has re-affirmed my passion and faith in the brand again.

That's great news that it's going to be open to the public now. I'm excited to check it out next time I'm in that part of the world!! And can't wait for the write-up either. Thanks for reporting!

Glad that you had a great day Rick. It (almost) couldn't have happened to a nicer guy :)

Very cool Rick. Looking forward to seeing more photos.

You should organize a Breitling Source GTG Group tour next year of the Chronometrie. That would be a lot of fun.

The only nicer guy this could have happened to is me :-) :-) :-)
This has been added to my "things I have to do before I kick the bucket" list, now that it's about to be open to general public.

Well, the article is written and has been proof read by the Breitling UK manager. I shall be adding the images later and then posting it here.

I agree Mr Fear, it is a real shame, but understandable. There will be a lot of words in my article because there are no images I can show. Therefore, I would recommend watching the Breitling Superfactories video on Youtube first. Hopefully, my write-up will complement this.

Watch this space.

Would be a bit more impressed if they didn't have the union jack upside down.

Though I'm very envious and look fwd to the report.
