The 64 square puzzle using using the fine image of a Breitling chronograph watch. This puzzle is getting harder yet with such a large image a puzzle with even more pieces would surely work well. Congratulations if you succeed. The applet permits up to a ten square puzzle. If there is any interest in my listing a puzzle of greater difficulty, drop me a line and I'll add it in. Such information as I have about the image can be found below.

The image was, I presume, a commercial advertising image for Breitling watches. I found the image on the 'Hitparade' Wallpaper Site many many years ago now - well over a decade ago. The original image is here. It makes a very fine puzzle, indeed!

There were many many links on the WWW to the availability of Breitling Watches when this page was first created! I learned, however, from one of the sites that I visited, that Léon Breitling first opened a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, near Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1884, making pocket watches and chronographs. His son Gaston initiated the production of wrist-watches in 1914 for the military in the First World War. Often associated with flying since 1936 when Willy Breitling (Léon's grandson) launched a chronometer for instrument panels in aircraft cockpits. The firm has a long association with Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed. In 1952 they introduced the Navimeter, a superchronograph designed especially for pilots. And in 1970, came the Breitling GMT, a chronograph with two hour hands (one for 12 hour system, one for 24 hours system). A year later, the Breitling Unitime simultaneously showed time in all countries of the World. Ernest Schneider (a qualified pilot) acquired the company in 1979. He has been very careful to preserve its tradition.

The official site for the Breitling company would seem to be here with a historical show for the visitor that you would enjoy.
