Here is the conversation between Blackie and Breitling:
【Breitling】 For the first time to participate in the Breitling Flying Festival? how are you feeling?
Black [Blackie] The deep roots of Breitling and aviation, and the passion for flying, are really not just talking. Although I could n’t really get on the fighter plane because of the weather, I watched the wonderful aerobatic flight show of the Breitling Jet Team and the video of the Breitling flight event. This is the most thrilling, colorful and special event I have ever participated in activity. I am really surprised that a watch brand is so passionate about flying, full of passion and vitality, and enjoying the challenge of extreme limits.

[Breitling] As far as I know, you are from a family of flying, and have a lot to do with flying!
Black [Blackie] Yes, my father is the cockpit leader of China Airlines, and my brother is a major pilot of the Air Force Phantom Fighter. My first Breitling was a gift for my brother who was promoted to major. Breitling’s most classic aviation chronograph Navitimer. I often fly around because of my work relationship.
B [Breitling] How did you think about giving your brother a Breitling watch as a gift?
Black [Blackie] Breitling is very well-known in Taiwan, and it is a famous aviation watch, so it was natural to think of it. Later, because I love sports and I love rough style, the large dial of Breitling watch, tough shape, durable, just meet my needs, it can be said that it was love at first sight.

[Breitling] Speaking of love at first sight, I want to wish you a great wedding! Remember that you said that the girl who wears Breitling is cool and tastes good. Fan Fan’s piece of Breitling was also given to you by her?
【Blackie】 Of course! I bought it specially for her. Fan Fan’s skin is white and her wrists are thin, so I bought a Navitimer with a silver-white dial and gave it to her. And my black Chrono-Matic is just ‘black and white’, super stylish!
[Breitling] How about yourself? Have you picked one for so many new styles this year?
[Blackie] I like several new models very much. The latest one is the Chronomat GMT, which is my world time chronograph. Because it is often ‘flying man’, the functions in the two places are very practical, and the new model is equipped with Breitling’s own 04 movement. The performance is absolutely nothing to say, it must be there!

[Breitling] This time you visit the Breitling Precision Timepiece Center is where the Breitling movement was born. How do you feel?
Black [Blackie] I have never been to a watchmaking factory before. I must have been boring and boring. The watch masters lie on the work table quietly and seriously. But the Breitling Precision Timepiece Center surprised me. Not an old manual workshop, but a modern watchmaking factory with fully automatic machine production lines and a sophisticated and strict quality monitoring system. Modern high-tech is fully applied to all aspects, especially the insistence on independent watchmaking has deeply touched me. What’s more, the whole building is clean and tidy, pleasing to the eye. Decorations and artworks of flying elements can be seen everywhere. Large-scale sculptures with Chinese style, even paintings on the entire wall of several floors, it is incredible that this is a system. Table factory. The production of precision timepieces for icy machinery can also be full of passion, fun, and energy. I think I can increasingly understand why Breitling has so many loyal fans around the world.

[Breitling] Friends who love Breitling are all people who love life. They are willing to enjoy a passionate life, dare to challenge the limits, and persist in their dreams. I understand that you and Fan Fan are running a public welfare activity called ‘Love Life-Cherish Life Never Give Up’, and I sincerely hope that your love for life can affect more people and make your dreams come true.
【Blackie】 Thank you! We will definitely stick to our dreams and work hard for 100% of our dreams. I encourage everyone, especially young people, to treat life with a positive, optimistic and passionate attitude. These are the positive energies of life that I think. I also hope that those around me can feel the power of ‘love’.

Blancpain Fifty Fatty Radiation

Limited luxury tribute classic

In the twentieth century, the 50s not only prevailed in the national army, but also led the civil field. The design of the civilian version of the Fifty Fathoms includes atomic symbols, oblique circles and yellow circles marked with ‘radiation-free’ to show the difference from military watches. Although military and civilian Fifty Falcons use non-radioactive plutonium materials to make pointers and scales to maintain their translucent gloss in the dark, only the civilian Fifty Falcons have been marked with ‘radiation-free’.
