Breitling’s sales specialists will assist grooms in selecting their ideal timepieces, and help the bride remove one more thing from her wedding to-do list by making the purchase a smooth and simple process. Designed with both brides and grooms in mind, the recently affianced can visit the Boutique at 5 East 57th Street with the knowledge that Breitling’s experienced associates will provide white glove treatment and will work with them to choose a wristwatch that he will wear with the same pride his bride wears her engagement ring.
Breitling USA President Thierry Prissert has the following tips for grooms looking for their perfect watch, “First you want to consider what style you are most attracted to, then think about when and where you will be wearing the watch most of the time.” Prissert says, “All of Breitling’s watches are certified by the COSC, the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, so you can be assured of quality and focus on which piece best suits you.”
Most grooms have some idea of the type of timepiece they would like to wear, and Breitling’s highlytrained associates are happy to guide grooms through the various collections on display at the Breitling Boutique to assure a VIP experience. The groom can then “register” for the watch – or watches – of his choice. When the bride comes in she will receive the same VIP experience and be thoroughly educated on her groom’s selection so she can then purchase the gift she knows he really wants for their special day and have it inscribed with a personal message.
Breitling’s diverse product line has something for everyone. Those looking for a first watch may choose one of Breitling’s iconic pieces, like the Chronomat 44 or the Navitimer 01. The Chronomat 44 is the star of the Breitling collection and the first watch to house Breitling’s first in-house movement, the Breitling Caliber 01. It is available in a number of different styles to suit a wide range of tastes – including steel, gold or rose gold cases, and a variety of straps. The Navitimer 01 has been a favorite of aviators and fans for decades for its well-known reliability and performance. New in 2014, the iconic Navitimer 01 is also available in a larger version with a new 46 mm diameter. Grooms who are looking to expand their watch collections may like the Breitling for Bentley collection; the paragon of British chic and Swiss excellence.
To commemorate the launch, Breitling has partnered with Four Seasons Hotel New York and Champagne Henriot to offer couples who purchase a watch from their registry an evening at the hotel and a bottle of Champagne Henriot Brut Rosé, NV. Four Seasons Hotel New York is located steps from the Breitling Boutique in centrally located Midtown Manhattan, has sweeping views of Central Park and was designed by famed architect I.M. Pei. Accompanying the special watch will be a bottle of Champagne Henriot Brut Rosé NV. Sensual and elegant, with a light pink color, and dominated by an intense, fruity nose Champagne Henriot’s Brut Rosé is made by adding Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine to the assemblage. Brut Rosé is made up of a majority of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs in the heart of France's Champagne region. The Brut Rosé sees an addition of 30% reserve wines and is aged for 2-3 years before it is released.

ABOUT BREITLING: A specialist of technical watches, Breitling has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph and is a leader in this complication. Léon Breitling founded the company in 1884 in St. Imier, Switzerland, and chose to devote himself to the exclusive and demanding field of chronographs and timers. Breitling developed the first independent chronograph pushpiece in 1915 and then added the second pushpiece in 1934 to complete the final configuration of the modern chronograph. In 1969, the brand introduced the first selfwinding chronograph movement. Today Breitling is the world’s only major watch brand to equip all its models with chronometer-certified movements, the ultimate token of precision. Breitling is one of the rare companies to produce its own mechanical chronograph movement, entirely developed and manufactured in its state-of-the-art workshops with its quality guaranteed by an unprecedented five-year warranty. This family business is also one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands, celebrating its 130-year anniversary this year in 2014.

ABOUT CHAMPAGNE HENRIOT: Founded in Reims in 1808, Champagne Henriot celebrated its 200th birthday in 2008; joining the very exclusive circle of independent 200-year old family owned and managed champagne houses. Over the years Champagne Henriot has cultivated a unique style of its own, guided only by the pursuit of the rich, pure expression of Chardonnay. Strict grape requirements enable Henriot to highlight the minerality and precision of their vineyards, while the use of malolactic fermentation, a high percentage of reserve wines in their cuvées and extended lees aging result in wines of great expression, elegance and depth. “Time is our ally and patience our secret” says Joseph Henriot. “They are the fundamental elements to our success.”
