I will start with “Just my two seconds” about Georges Kern.
You might have heard / read about the fact that Georges quit his job as one of the big, big bosses of Richmont to become the new CEO of Breitling.
Have you ever asked yourself why someone is doing this?
Being one of the most powerful managers in the watch-industry, quitting this position to become the CEO of only one relatively small company / brand?

Starting today I want to introduce “Just my two seconds”.
Let me rephrase the expression “Just my two cents” …
You all know what “Just my two cents” means. But WatchAdvisor.com literally is all about seconds, the 86.400 seconds of each day.
“Just my two seconds” will be a micro audio-podcast delivering you even better information and more insides …
As many of you followers, watch-collectors and watch-aficionados look for analyses, answers, inside-knowledge, inside-views and strong opinions when something happens within the watch industry, when new products come to the market, when new technologies are introduced, when managers come and go, when companies are sold and bought, I want to give you the appropriate and correct information YOU are looking for here on WatchAdvisor.com.

This Breitling Chronoliner B04 chronograph vintage-style type in blue and not black (!) is a good example for a Breitling I would like to see more often in the future.
Do you agree if I write: We have recently seen to many all-black, martial, “military” watches from Breitling – too many watches for Special Forces & Co.
I think there is plenty of room for different colors / types, especial for more decent “lovelier” watches.
One simply needs to look back in the history of the brand and discover many fantastic and cool timepieces, that would perfectly fit into a new collection of Breitling …
Georges Kern, we are looking forward to discover your new ideas and watches.
I am sure you will not disappoint us!
With its two superimposed central chronograph hands, of which one can be stopped, by pushing the push-piece being integrated in the crown, so as to measure an intermediate (split) time, before “catching up” (= rattraper in French), by again pushing the push-piece being integrated in the crown, with the first one still sweeping onwards, the split-seconds chronograph is considered one of the most sophisticated watchmaking mechanisms to create.
