“The watch that started it all for me” – Jean-Paul’s Breitling Transocean

Nick Kenyon

There’s always one that started it all. The first taste that starts the passion. Like the first dunk that lit the flame in Jordan’s heart. The first moment Phelps touched the end of a pool and knew he loved to win. Or the first piece in your collection that opened your eyes to the variety and complexity involved in the pursuit of good watches. For Jean-Paul, this was his first. A stunning Breitling Transocean ref. 1461 semi-perpetual calendar, that he picked up on his honeymoon in New York City. After four visits to the Wempe boutique, he decided to pull the trigger, and hasn’t looked back since.

The fact that you can put this many complications in a watch that small, and it’s also a watch you don’t see every day. I’m very happy with it.

Wear it in good health, Jean-Paul.
