Hartmanns of Galway launched a new range of watches by Breitling, with champagne and a fantastic launch party at Tosh, Hotel Meyrick, last Thursday 27 September. Guests had the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying a real fighter-jet and test their flying skills with the Breitling Fighter Challenge Flight Simulators - flown in from the UK especially for this event ? as the Moonlight Quartet played swinging war-time music for all the 'pilots' and 'captains' there to enjoy the launch party! Hartmanns of Galway are the only retailers in the West of Ireland stocking Breitling watches, which can only be purchased from authorised distributors. Breitling have been making watches based on aero-nautical principles since 1884 when Leon Breitling opened his first shop in Switzerland, selling chronographs and precision counters. Richard Hartmann of Hartmanns of Galway says "we are thrilled to welcome Breitling watches to our store. They will bring a great new dimension to our collection of luxury Swiss watch brands. Breitling are the ultimate in attractive, high-performance and durable Swiss time-pieces". |
