Breitling

Grenchen, Switzerland

The Swiss brand Breitling was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier and quickly became a specialist in chronographs and precision instrument watches. Even in its early years, the company played a central role in the development of functional chronographs for science, industry, and aviation. Today, Breitling is considered one of the benchmarks for technical wristwatches that combine high practical utility with a sporty design. Among its best-known lines are the Navitimer, designed for pilots with its slide-rule bezel; the Superocean, a robust diver’s watch with high water resistance; and the Chronomat, which combines functionality with a distinctive design. Thanks to their precise engineering, durable construction and excellent legibility, Breitling watches have earned themselves a firm place among professional tool watches.
