I don't know the building, but I've seen this particular "Breitling's" ties and jackets on eBay in the past.

Just googled for it. It definately appears to be a different company. A Germany clothing company that sells all sorts of brands of clothes:

http://www.breitling.de/

Never heard of 'em until today!

Indeed, and a curious choice of font if they didn't want to cause confusion!

You will find the odd piece of "Breitling" clothing on eBay from time to time, jackets etc.

I had often wondered where they came from and that's the answer.

Never thought for a minute that they were connected but did consider legal action - I guess it must be cool. Either that or something happening in the background.

No grounds for lawsuit except for PR. Interesting anyway. :roll:

Breitling has probably only protected their name with anything connected to watches and aeroplanes, leaving things like this possible to happen. But I agree, their choice of font/logo is quite close to mess with the logo trademark.
