2023 Breitling Toptime and Premier Chronographs - my Hot Take

#NSOW Watches and Wonders 2023 has just started and I should be talking about the new Rolex and Tudor releases - thats certainly where the clicks are. But I cant, I find this new Breitlings just too interesting, so here we are. My hot take on the new 2023 Breitling Top Time and Premier Chronographs. For your awareness some things about me and the channel. I'm an engineer who's into human behavior, loves the ideas behind art and sees watches as a mix of science, craft, art, business, history, technology, philosophy, and psychology. As a result, my videos cover all that ground. (Oh, and I overthink everything). In my opinion a $15 Casio or a $50 G-Shock are probably the only real tool watches and pretty much everything else is jewelry. So as we are talking about jewelry I think style is substance and I tend to believe history, brand, style, design, execution, and aesthetics are more important than specs. A dull design with a good movement is a dull watch, and an exciting design with an average movement is an exciting watch. To be clear, I hate the expression "it's just a watch". If you got this far, watches matter to you and represent a bridge between us - dismissing them as unimportant seems wrong and disrespectful. That doesn't mean we can't and don't have fun, it just means we should not be totally mindless of others. I'm a watch collector and curator - I like my collections to have a theme. My collection has several themes: 1. Vintage Alpina watches 2. Travel watches (GMT. UTC, world timers, home times, dual times) 3. Seiko Prospex dive watches 4. Breitling chronographs 5. Stuff I just really like. I don't do wrist checks so if you want to see what I'm wearing, my collection, and other random bits of my life check out my Instagram: @not.so.obvious.watches   / not.so.obvious.watches   You can email me at [email protected] virtually all the music you'll hear on my channel I get from BenSound - https://www.bensound.com/ also, my stock images and videos tend to come from either snappa (https://snappa.com/app) or pexels (https://www.pexels.com/)
