Breitling sold -- Marketing to focus on Digital forgo magazines and bilboards
As a marketing guy and a Breitling owner I thought that the statement by the new owner of Breitling, CVC, was very interesting: they are going to focus on Digital marketing (and distribution). I think anyone in marketing, especially evidenced based marketing has thought to themselves Swiss Watchmakers are pissing money away on billboards and magazines. I know I have, infant I wrote a proposal about for Breitling about how they need to take control of their SERPs.

New 5205g-013 blue dial
Has anyone actually seen, in person, this new 5205 yet? I've seen the website renditions, but wonder how real-to-life they actually are? Case in point: I was very interested in the 5205g-010, until I actually tried one on (that's the one with the darker two-tone grey/blackish dial). I loved the watch, but at my age, could not distinguish the hands or hour markers, as they seemed to blend in with the dial. If that's the case with the new blue dial, I'll have to pass. But if the hands and hour markers really stand out, better than with the two grey models, as seen in the professionally advertised renditions, then I'm in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
