The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi

My name is Hugo, Im 30 and I come from Canada.
Before I give you more informations about me you guys have to know that English is my second language! Im trying as hard as I can to avoid mistakes but dont be surprised if sometimes my sentences and writting dont look right!

To make a long story short, I just want to say hello to everyone before you guys see me lurking around and asking questions here and there!

I always liked watches in general since my young age watches at any prices, any models basicly any mechanical device made of a complex mechanical assembly that show time!
I found it fascinating that we invented time ,invented a device that mesure and display it and we miniaturised the thing to bring it with us everywhere because it can run on its own power.

A couple years ago I started to dissasemble and re-assemble watches just for fun as a hobby. The first watch I repaired worked but was not really accurate! So with practice and the right tools Ive been able to repair a broken watch my father gave me when I was young. The watch was a Timex military Sprite 1967 that had sentimental value for me.

All that allowed me to learn about watches and movements and really helped me to define what is for me a real piece of art and understanding why!

Years passed and I came accross a brand named Breitling.
I simply fell in love with their models from the 60` 70` 80` and could not believe how they transformed a manual winding time keeping device into a calculating tool with automatic movement.

Breitling watches are somewhat out of my budget but I saved some money and I think its time for me to buy my first piece.
I have a long list of models that I want but I would like to add to my collection a Breitling Cosmonaute Chrono-matic 1809 automatic caliber 14!

Thanks
Hugo

Hugo,

Welcome to BS.

My typing is far worse than your English. No worries.

Thanks for the great welcome everyone!

Im quite happy to see that my English typing doesn`t hurt your eyes too much that`s encouraging!
Let say it was a difficult learning curve as starting to learn a new language at 28 years old is not that easy let me tell you! But Im improving throught the years slowly but surely!

To change subject I found a nice cosmonaute 1809 cal.14 today, didn`t buy it yet as me and the seller are still talking price so it should be a go or no-go before the end of the week.
Im sure there`s one for me out there and Im still looking around just in case so if you guys find something dont be shy to send me a message.

Thanks again
