The Breitling Emergency: A Watch That Saves Lives Yesterday at the Then & Now pop-up museum, our guests got a glimpse into the history of the Breitling Emergency watch. The conversation was opened by Gianfranco G. M. Gentile, Breitling Global Head of Heritage, and then led by Natasha Mekhail, Breitling's Senior Manager of Editorial & Publishing, who guided us through the evening. Explorer Bertrand Piccard—known for his round-the-world balloon voyage aboard the Breitling Orbiter 3—and journalist and watch specialist Gerard Tubb shared fascinating insights into the watch's incredible evolution. As the world's first timepiece equipped with an international distress beacon, the Breitling Emergency has redefined adventure and safety for explorers worldwide.

Mandelbaum, alongside museum guide Philip Blumer, took guests on an in-depth journey through the history of the Breitling Navitimer at the Then & Now pop-up museum.
