Breitlings and Celebrity Chefs
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , General Posts1 Comment
The list of Celebrity Chefs that wear Breitling is quite long, and quite peculiar really. Breitling is first an aviation watch, not a chef watch. So why do so many Celeb Chef’s wear them? Possibly because they look so damn cool. 🙂 I suppose 5 chefs isn’t that many.. but there might be more. Aside from Rappers, I think celeb chef’s might be the highest per capita of Breitling wearers around!
The list now includes:
Ming Tsai – Ming is an American Chef with a show called Simply Ming
Ralph Pagano – Ralph Pagano is an up and coming chef that came runner up in the first Hell’s Kitchen Series
Antony Worrall-Thomson
Gordon Ramsay – Gordon is the head chef in the cooking reality show Hell’s Kitchen
James Martin – Yet Another Celeb Chef popular in the UK appearing on several BBC Cooking shows.
You might notice that on many of the sites you can see the chefs displaying their Breitling’s very prominently. In fact, Ming Tsai has a link and logo to Breitling’s own site. Perhaps he is a sponsored ambassador.
Wolfgang Puck wears a Panerai… but still shows he has a taste for unique watches.
I’m always looking to expanding that Breitling ambassador and celebrity list, so if you know of any that are missing, Let me know!

Gordon Ramsay is also one of the only two chefs in the world to hold 12 Michelin stars for his restaurants, putting him level with French chef Alain Ducasse.
Good taste in watches too 🙂
