    In today's podcast I'd like to consider what actually makes a timeless watch design. Many icons of watch design exist from the Omega Speedmaster to the Rolex Submariner yet there doesn't seem to be any real formula to creating one. Is it simple design, brand presence or modernity?

    Breitling has appeared a troubled brand over the last few decades from financial instability in the 1970s to increasingly misguided designs for ever higher prices in the mid-2000s. However, the last decade has seen the arrival of in-house movements, revised collections and a newfound appreciation for some of Breitling's oldest and most important designs. In this podcast, I would like to speak about just how Breitling has revived itself. #breitling #chronomat #navitimer Read full articles and listen to podcasts at www.watchchronicler.com For any questions or business enquiries, please email me at: enquiries@watchchronicler.com Music: Blue Danube (by Strauss) by Strauss Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
