New York, NY - Breitling joined members of the media to celebrate the U.S. launch of the Emergency, a watch that literally saves lives.

Kind of sad it took two years for the US to get on board with this model. I have read a few good stories in the past about this watch saving lives. I think its beautiful. Has a big price tag too.

I like the watch, but it's yet another Breitling I'll almost certainly never be able to afford, even if I weren't already dead and not in need of an emergency beacon. Sadly, and coming as no surprise, the goobs in the federal gub'mint slowed things way down and dragged their feet in allowing this to come to market. I hate playing games of "what-if," but I can't help but wonder if this delay might have cost a life (or two or three) over here while the federal mafia dithered and played with themselves...er, um, gub'mint conducted thoroughly exhaustive and intensive testing. Ahem.

Sorry...please disregard the ranting of a soon-to-be-elderly despiser of the federal keystone kops...of course, um, I love and truly adore the people of the FAA! Why, yes I DO...
