Did Jerry Seinfeld Break Up With Breitling?
To a small group of people - mechanical wrist watches represent a true art form. An art form that allows them to become totally enamored with - and begin collecting multiple timepieces.
A subgroup of those collectors - become so enamored with the art form that they organize and create small group and have get-togethers where they sit around and admire other peoples watches.
Within this subgroup, this is yet another sub-group of folks who only buy watches from one brand. They also have get-togethers, eat, and sit around and say “look at my watch - isn’t it great?.. it looks just like yours.”
I call these folks “brand exclusive collectors.”
There are just a handful of brands which have collectors with this caliber of allegiance - and I can name them on one hand: Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Panerai.
When it comes to celebrities - a few names come to mind. Elton John in the late nineties had a penchant for Franck Muller. Usher and Pharrell Williams seems to alway have an Audemars Piguet on. Sylvester Stallone seems to still exclusively wear Panerai and Jerry Seinfeld has ALWAYS worn Breitling……up until now.
Up until now Breitling has had enjoyed the luxury of Jerry wearing only Breitling watches. BUT - at the New York premier of the much anticipated “Sex and the City” movie, it turns out that Mr. Seinfeld has changed his horological tune.
If you look closely you will see that Jerry has expanded his horizons and wearing a Breguet Marine watch. Has he abandoned Breitling all together or is he just going down the alphabetical watch line?
Breit
Bregu
Hmmm…….
