Satovi u filmovima

**skydrummer** · 10.2.2015., 20:14

Jedan od satova koje je nosio Džems Bond jeste i Breitling poznat pod nazivom Geigher counter. Dakle u pitanju je sat koji je u filmu Thunderball imao Gajgerov brojač. Sat je u stvari modifikovani Breitling Ref. 2002, broj kućišta 984343 iz 1962. godine. Ono što je modifikovano jeste kućište koje nije Breitling-ovo. Kućište je izrađeno u kompaniji Valley Tool Company i široko je 47 mm. Tako modifikovani sat nije imao krunicu i hrono tastere.
O satu se godinama ništa nije znalo. Ni da li je u nečijoj kolekciji li je uništen ili nešto treće. Stvari se menjaju 2013. godine kada ljubitelj Džems Bond satova ulazi u trag satu. Priča je malo duža, autentičnost sata je potvrđena od šestočlanog tima Breitling-ovih časovničara. Napravljen je samo jedan takav sat. Prodat je na Kristijevoj (Christie) aukciji. Nisam siguran kolika je bila konačna cena (pominje se 160 175 dolara).

Ovaj pasus je je suština:
It was Ed's connections within Eon that cracked the case on this one. After we found out, Martin was ecstatic and wanted to have the Breitling serviced and checked. He rang Breitling UK and told him the story. It all seemed rather "business as usual" while on the phone. He set up an appointment. When he got there, things were a bit different. The head of Breitling UK was standing at the door, hand extended. Behind him were no less then 6 technicians in white coats and all wearing matching white smiles. Martin was not allowed back into the "lab" but there is a large glass wall that allows you to observe. He said the techs were all hovered over the watch, watching pictures and discussing. Needless to say, it made quite a hit. When they were finished, they each came out to shake Martins hand and thank him for the opportunity to see this amazing relic. The head of Breitling had stepped away for some time and Martin thought he was off doing his day to day business. He caught Martin as he was leaving, winded slightly from running. He had stepped away to contact Breitling HQ. After a lengthy enough conversation, he expressed Breitlings extreme interest in the watch. They wanted to make an offer on it!
