I get this question a lot. 

For me

It’s no different than asking which is my favorite kid

I mean, that answer can change daily ;) 

And it’s no different with my favorite watch

But I will tell you this:

The watch that made me fall in love with watches

There’s only one

The Breitling Navitimer

Here’s why -

The Breitling brand represents adventure, exploration & risk taking

That’s exciting

And totally connects with me

And I fell in love with the Navi b/c of the dial

I simply lose myself in it

Willy Breitling designed it in 1952 to enable pilots

to perform all necessary flight calculations on their wrist

Wow!

OK, I know what you’re thinking…

…Erich, is that how you use it?

I’ll counter with this…

…do you throw down tomahawk dunks in your Jordans?

Nope

But you wear a Jordan to create a feeling

And it’s no different with the Navi

Oh, one more thing on the Breitling Navitimer…

You could buy one of these pre-owned back in 2009 

For the same cost pre-owned in 2024

But you have to know what you’re doing…

That’s how you play the game of wealth preservation with a luxury

What’s the timepiece that got it started for you?
