Amazingly restrained. Few over $20K.

I am sure they show less restraint with their private jets, yacht, vacation homes...

I think they are just trying to be less in your face with watches.

Star Ferry · 13 July 2018, 09:45 AM

Unless they are WIS, they're beyond the point of signaling status with watches or clothing

For example, I'd bet Bezos was gifted that UN. I doubt he walked into a boutique and bought that for himself.

I have a pair of Billionaire partners in the company I run. One shifts between a Diamond crusted president, a Skagen and an apple watch. The other I have only seen his Breitling.

Spartacus · 13 July 2018, 10:07 AM

Breitling seems to be common on these lists, I wonder if it is related to aviation interests.

Swashplate · 13 July 2018, 10:18 AM

In my case it very much is. The guy is type rated in his Learjet and his Falcon.

RW16610 · 13 July 2018, 11:09 AM

Very interesting stuff

Thanks for sharing this, Kent.

That’s why they’re Billionaires.

Attended a private event at Oshkosh last year and Breitling had the majority by a long shot.

These guys are in charge of companies worth Billions - they are not Billionaires.

Tim Cook is worth nearly a Billion but that’s mostly in stock he can’t sell except a bit at a time.

The founders of some of these companies are Billionaires though.

The notion of being good with money and frequenting this place is akin to being a swimsuit model and being a fan of the cheesecake forum.

For sure, I mean they have a display team and several other branded aircraft.
I have been going for several years now. Lots of Breitlings and GMTs

Oh I wouldn't say that.

Breitling is very popular on other list like this I have seen over the years. It’s a strong watch/brand.

I did spot a BLRO at the event I attended.

Swashplate · 15 July 2018, 04:06 PM

I sold a turbine floatplane to a businessman from Mexico who flew up an executive jet. He had a BLRO on. It was the first time I’d seen one in the wild.

I also see Breitling on a lot more celeb wrists than Omega.

I've actually been spitting then more often (seemingly) on people's wrists. I also love the appeal they've got, not to mention the functionality.
