Breitling Atomic Clock Analog and Digital
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , Clocks[2] Comments
I just got the most peculiar looking clock photos emailed to me in the mail today. A Breitling clock, with a wood box enclosure, and what appears to be an atomic radio-controlled clock. Based on the photos of the back, it is obviously a very old incarnation of the atomic clock, as new movements are quite a bit smaller. The clock does not function properly at the moment, and was asked as to value, which I haven’t a clue. I question it’s authenticity, as it does not look Breitling-like, but who knows what those folks were up to back then.
It is an interesting peice, and while it may not be work fixing, it is certainly intriguing and would be neat to have on the wall.

It looks to be an authentic Breitling clock from the photo. The clock receives shortwave radio information from WWV and their reference time signal. It usually synchronizes every night when the radio signal is stronger. If it’s not working it probably needs its’ battery replaced.

I have this exact clock and the original Breitling letter/papers and manual. The screen on mine does not come up, so the battery is probably dead. This is the first I have seen of anyone posting pics of this same clock. Mine was found in a garage a couple years ago. Don’t know the value and/or how many they produced.
