You’re so good at this Harrison. You really get the message across in such a genuine way of what matters. Thanks for these videos! 😊👍🏼
I appreciate that! Thanks mate
Hey Harrison!
You’re so right on this!
My favourite watch is my 2001 Breitling Colt Automatic II. Not the world’s most expensive, or sought after, but an engagement present from my wife and present at our wedding in 2003 and the births of our children in 2002, 2012 & 2018.
I have newer, more expensive pieces but, to me, the watch is literally priceless.
Georges Kern has done a GOAT job with Breitling. Just unbelievable. I own the B09 Pistachio and am continually stunned by the beauty and craftsmanship. The problem with Breitling right now is they have too many models that I want and would love to add to the collection tomorrow, including this chronomat.
Yay I come at 2 minutes! We knew we collect watch to fulfil our dreams, whether it is childhood or target aimed when we were adults. We see purposes in each watch we bough, worn, and knew what to match with on each clothes or occasion.
OK dramatic part aside, I'm pquite surprise Breitling did made this beautiful dial colour, I know it's green Navitimer is just stonning, but this thing is just another level.
Thanks mate, appreciate that!!
Great video. Too many people seem to buy watches for the wrong reasons and they all need to watch this!
Holy Moly, what a gorgeous watch, you sir just made me want this beautiful Breitling! Keep up the good work!!
A lovely timepiece very beautiful color dial I like the 40mm I like the strap just love it…👏💪👍❤️
It’s class!
That watch is beautiful. Breitling is doing a phenomenal job! I love how the chronograph ones look also.
Great video essay. It's the memories, man, that make watches into timepieces.
My collection has 5 "chapters" : the Heritage chapter, the Memories chapter, the Deep chapter, the Fun chapter, and the Special Occasions chapter. Most of my collection are Memories - pieces from the childhood years, they make the memories of loved ones and special moments surface.
Would be nice to hear what those "chapter" watches are.
@@rsavage173 The 2 Heritage watches are my father's old Datejust with the engraving "The Rolex Awards for Enterprise 1984" extended to him by Rolex. And then mine, a 1967 321 Speedmaster, the one I pursued for years. My father's one is obviously irreplacable. Among the Memories you have a 1967 5513 Submariner, a 1968 Heuer Autavia 3646, or a 1963 Seamaster300 in rare condition.
I'm a new subscriber and really appreciate your outlook on the watch collecting hobby. It's obvious that you put a lot of effort into your content! Keep up the great work and you'll hit 100K before you know it!!
Your humble passion, for what watches sincerely mean to you is palpable and inspiring. Btw, I really like that Breitling coz it seems to epitomise much of what appeals to me in a versatile watch and an unique way to express the artful form. Thank you.
Here here, Harrison! Fantastic message and reminder. Served as timely for me.
Thanks bud 🙏
Really enjoyed the video
I bought a Breitling Chronomat 44 back in 2010 and I still treasure it.
Big and shiny, a rare chronometer with 500 metres WR to boot
Loads of memories over the years which I can associate with this timepiece so it will always be a special piece in my collection
Thanks again for the thoughtful video and here’s to your 100k subscriber’s ambition 🙏👍
Great episode Chisholm! Right on!
Appreciate that!!
Beautiful video. Well done & thank you.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
I got the same watch but in the bullet bracelet, absolutely love it. The perfect proportions for a do it all watch. Great story btwz thanks for sharing.
Very well done.
Very well said! Cheers
Absolutely brilliant.
Great review, great watch.
Amazing b-roll music etc.
Q. Is there a reason why you wear your buckle & tang on the bottom end of the watch? Most people wear them on the top end of the case.
Beautiful Breitling!
Nevermind the watch, that was a really touching video 😊
I’d not started collecting with that in mind, and funnily enough, some scratches on my watches do remind me of places I’ve been to with my partner.
Thanks for the great content. Stay awesome my friend !
It combines design, craftsmanship and status. Perfect hobby.
The traditional watches even digital ones like Casio has the strength of holding memories unlike smart watches nowadays! Heart touching episode👍
Beautiful watch!
I own the same watch and didn’t like the rubber strap…it is comfortable but made the watch look smaller than it is. I ended up buying the bullet bracelet for it and now it really pops! Great size, looks great, solid movement that has been worked on big time by Breitling. Bezel is platinum and the rest is SS.
Great video Harrison , will go into St James quarter and have a look ,thanks 🏴👍❤️
I’m looking at a 3rd watch. Breitling chronomat is definitiv one of them in consideration.
Watch collecting is about passion for horology, memories and accessories.
Your brother has a great taste except for it not being an open case back 😂 very few watches for me are closed case backs
Can I be so bold as to ask what the other two are?
Check out the Breitling Avenger GMT. Does not get a lot of exposure, but I thought it was nicer.
Really like Breitling and this one looks very very nice indeed 🤩
But…. Have to say that it would look even better with a metal bracelet.
And yes, some of my watches mean so much more than money value. They stand for special en sometimes emotional moments.
Just just nailed it watch collecting.just purchased a retirement watch from your shop in Glasgow great staff i pushed boat out for a GO panerama date seaQ bi colour with no buyers guilt.
Hey mate, thank you so much, I really appreciate that and also visiting us in the boutique! What an epic model, congratulations. The next time your in let me know, I’d love to see your new watch 🙌🙌
Its exctly the same relationship i have with my Seiko Willard. Currently completing the 214 wainwrights challenge with my 2 pups and will be forever cherished for the memories, and to celebrate completing it i want to get an explorer 1….because i feel like ive earned it
Great looking watch!
Thanks mate!
I think we'll see stainless steel and metal bezels make a return in the future. They''re kind of around in the micro brand space. I agree though they look super clean!
Thanks Harrison, that was deep.. you had me tearing as I thought of my brother and my best friend that I have lost. I have their watches I don't wear often but, I hold them close as they mean everything to me . I wear them on their birthdays as it gives me the opportunity to share a memory, a laugh even a tear. Take every opportunity to tell your brother what he means to you. Thanks very much for this video ..more should watch this video. Cheers mate.
God. God is love. God is the reason why we are attracted to the good, the true and the beautiful. Whether it is different people we love, different places around the world we love, or even objects we love, human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, and are therefore attracted to beautiful things. And like you said, put those objects into context with milestone life moments, and you have a recipe for even greater love. No one wants to talk about God, but He is the reason for all things good, true, and beautiful.
I like that thing!
Great video … finally something about collecting watches and love for watches and not resealing and all that BS
Stunning watch. The fact that Breitling didn’t put a true GMT movement in it at $5k+ is a huge shame though.
I own this watch and also own a “true GMT”. I travel a lot and they both work fine. This takes a tiny more time to set the other time zone…that’s it. I’m almost 60 and have been collecting watches for 40 years and the two things that all the newbies and so called TH-cam “experts” over emphasize are “in house movements” and “true GMT’s”. I have a 2004 Omega Seamaster with an ETA movement and it keeps better time than my 2015 Rolex Explorer with an in-house. Every great Watch House has out sourced parts and movements including Rolex and Patek. One of my favorite watches is my 2003 Breguet Type XX Transatlantique 3820 with a Lemania movement which keeps excellent time, rarely needs a service and is rock solid.
@@DWilliam1 I hear you. I actually don’t mind office GMT movements at all. And I agree with your sentiments about in-house movement. What’s a little annoying though is when brands try to charge a hefty price for a timepiece with an off the shelf movement. Breitling has the Chronomat GMT listed for $6,150 on their site. I believe the ice blue dial is a couple grand more and doesn’t even come with the bracelet.. A beautiful watch no doubt, but the prices are a bit ridiculous.
@@SunsetSheen These are luxury purchases and everyone has their own criteria. Breitling heavily modifies their sourced movements, but I really liked the watch anyway. You can save a couple of grand buying from a gray market dealer like Jomashop(I didn’t but the boutique basically threw in the bracelet for me and it was cheaper last year, I think I paid $7950). Something I didn’t do was buy a Rolex when the prices were ridiculous. I paid $5K for my Explorer and it was going on the used market for $11K…to me that was crazy. Anyway, have a good one.
What's on the short list for the 100k watch purchase?
These are sweet
It is about that!
I never bought a watch for myself until the age of 43. My late father gave us watches, to the family. It was his thing.
Ever since he past, I miss him immensely..
when I buy a watch, I am having a conversation with him. We argued and fought over everything- except watches. So these little imaginary talks are so precious to me.
So in the past 5 years I’ve amassed 55 pieces.
As I said, I miss him deeply…
BTW, now I’m gifting watches. My wife, my daughters, my brother, my daughter boyfriend, my friends, even to some of my patients..
I love and adore watches. It just became such a big, deep and meaningful part of my life, since my dad isn’t around anymore.
The music towards the end started drowning you out, but leading up to that I agree
I love how 20 degrees C is "hot" if you're in Scotland 😂
Have you ever seen the breitljng a17380 dopest watch ever
Does Breitling use Kennissi movement for entry level pieces?
Eta
Hey Chrisholm , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
Bellissimo 😍
100% nailed it. All these show-off watch dudes getting in my nerves about how cool and how expensive a timepiece is. Some of my favorite pieces are probably worth nothing these days but mean the world to me and knowing that while wearing them is so much more rewarding then getting complemented in a certain model because it is Rolex etc.
Quite a nice watch but shame no Deployant on rubber : (
Breitling also skimp (a slightly odd quickset date and GMT hand, with some models having better colour matched date windows than others, and check alignment) so make sure you get 20% off list ; )
Breitling need to bring the Galactic back 😈 Full metal/Full chrome 😈
I'd have to see this in the flesh. To me the GMT hand didn't "pop" against the dial
Hahha! I’m the first view! So random! Great stuff, Harrison!
Thanks mate! Appreciate that!!
As long as its Harrison as always, anything else, is just a homage.
Damn, wearing my casio royale now. Has a little scratch on the screen from my first ever flight as a student pilot. So good to be wearing a memory. Your video here hits the spot man.
The pain when you get to the top of the mountain and the clouds drop 😢
Platinum bezel, stainless steel case.
Because it is Art and Engineering, in micro mechanical form.
Eewww! Pretty romantic kind of view! I do like the way of thinking!
Thanks mate!
You know it’s gonna be serious when the as always is serious
Amen to that
I wanna let you know after watching your review video, I brought Breitling GMT and Aqua Terra world time titanium, now my wallet told me that he sick...
Ceramic doesn’t scratch my boy, the steel bezel especially in that high polish is a magnet for scratching unfortunately
And knives, guns, guitars….
I'm not biggest Breitling fan but this one looks nice. Btw you misspelled the watch company name in title. :)
Chill bro, it’s just a watch
So obviously it is the bezel that is platinum, the price tells us that, but you should really know that before doing a review. Due diligence. I am not trolling you Harrison, but you make mistakes or errors like that in every video. 😔Lovely watch and good theme.
It's not real gmt
it is a real gmt. caller version instead of flyer version. plus: being eta based cheaper to service than f. ex. a inhouse movement by tudor
