When Breitling, which opened its doors for the first time is
Switzerland in 1884, decides to release a new timepiece, the rest of the
watch world, fans and competitors alike, pays close attention.

Well here it is. The Breitling Caliber B01. The people at Breitling
describe the B01 as "the ultimate chronograph" and, if you listen to the
buzz, they may indeed be right.
One of the most significant facts about this latest Breitling model is
that it is its first in-house manufacture movement timepiece. In other
words, there is nothing "off the shelf" about the workings of this
watch: it is all Breitling.
The new movement has a vertical-trigger mechanism, a column wheel, and
an impressive power reserve of more than seventy hours that ensures that
the watch movement keeps a regular rate. The wristwatch also has a
special mechanism for auto-centering of the reset hammers as well as an
index regulating system, which allows the timepieces' timing to be
customized to the particular watch wearer.
The B01 has chronograph movement that is completely integrated with a
vertical clutch, similar to other outstanding self-winding chronograph
movements like the Rolex 4130 and the Frederic Piguet 1185. Hard core
lovers of chronograph wristwatches will be thrilled that the B01'employs
a column-wheel as some of its rival top shelf chronographs do.
Breitling's B01 is already gaining a reputation for accuracy,
reliability, sturdiness and efficiency. It was built to maximize both
functionality and safety while in use. But Breitling also gave the watch
more than a few innovative features that increase its easiness to
manufacture and use. The B01's clever architecture also gives it major
advantages with regard to maintenance of the watch.
The original construction of the B101 is far from the only thing that
makes it unique. In designing its fists ever "proprietary chronograph
movement", Breitling did so quite unusually. Their rather avant-garde
concept has to some degree been borrowed from similar high-tech
industries; it is essentially a new sort of production line that
maintains artistic integrity. Every movement is perfectly tracked by
high tech computer software that instantly transmits it to the proper
station following a path wherein automated stations alternate with
stations that require manual intervention. Every adjustment phase is
integrated into the complex process so that every watch that comes off
the production line is fully prepared to be scrutinized and tested by
the extraordinarily stringent COSC. This process is ultimately
responsible delivering Breitling's famous reliability to a mass
audience.
With all these advances in design and manufacturing, folks at Breitling
are claiming that the Caliber B01 marks the high point of its 125-year
history, with specific regard to its pursuit for high performance as
well as appealing aesthetics. Moreover, the chronograph also gives
Breitling a toe hold into the extremely exclusive club of watchmakers
that have created their own in-house mechanical chronograph movement.
