The Breitling Watch Blog

I’ve been working hard for the last few months collecting data and building a new site: Panerai Source. This site is intended to be a culmination of information on all the Panerai watches in an easy-to-use format similar to the one used for Breitling Source, but this time for Panerai Watches. Every single Pre-V and Current model should be in the database and on the site. I am still looking for photos of models especially discontinued ones, and looking to eventually add a vintage section as well. I’ll also slowly be building up the articles section to provide users and especially newcomers with useful information.

If anyone has some Panerai photos they have taken and would like to contribute them for use on the site.. please email me and let me know! I would be very grateful for them. Even pics of different straps and buckles would be exceptionally useful. But please take a look, join the forum and help make the Panerai Watch Source a great friendly community for everything 🙂

It has been brought to my attention that Chuck Maddox, a legened in the Watch community, providing us with an amazing amount of information on watches, especially Omegas, has passed away yesterday. A moment of silence for one of the most knowledgeable watch guys on the net.

Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, the largest luxury brand group in the world, has just acquired Hublot. This will really ramp up the level of quality high-end watches that the group produces. They will join Tag Heuer and Zenith among others at LVMH. Hublot has been around since 1980 and produces some of the most advanced watches on the market. They specialize in high-tech materials and ultra-light cases using combinations of high-end materials and specialized composites.

Hublot’s Big Bang is a very popular and iconic watch:

My good friend Norman aka “Nubo” has posted a great review on the hunky chunky Marathon CSAR. Marathon is a Canadian company that produces products for military and other such entities. The Marathon CSAR is a huge watch, 47mm in diameter, and looks almost as big as a Breitling Super Avenger, but much more tool watch in character. Almost like a big Fortis. Enjoy Norman’s review!

One of the more knowledgeable but new members of the Breitlingsource forums, Bere4421 recently visited Baselworld 2008 in Switzerland and took some pics when he was there of the beautiful Breitling Booth. Again the fishes were back, and the massive booth does not fail to amaze.

Here is the shot he took of the Front corner with the nice Breitling Logo:

Nice shot of the fishtank:

The Breitling showroom had 4 floors, a bar and a full restaurant.. bloody amazing. That’s where all the money from our watches goes!
