The History of Breitling Watches
Leon Breitling established his namesake brand in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland in 1884. His original goal was to create precision watches for sports, science, and industrial purposes. In just a few short years, the business began to flourish and ultimately outgrew its modest beginnings. In 1892, Breitling relocated to La Chaux de Fonds, the center of watchmaking at the time.
A little over a decade later Leon Breitling passed away and his son Gaston took over the family business. In 1915, just a year, Gaston introduced an exciting development: the first wristwatch with the Breitling chronograph. He saw rapid progress in aviation during World War I and the need for a precision watch for pilots, acting upon it to create this masterpiece.
Now, known globally as a symbol of luxury, Breitling began his career as a family business but has since become one of the best extravagant watch brands in the world, known for only producing models with a chronometer and ultimate precision.
Today, they are one of the few unusual, independent Swiss watch manufacturers who produce their own mechanical chronographic mechanisms at home - which is not an easy task.
As a connoisseur of technical watches, Breitling has played an important role in improving the chronograph on the wrist and is today an industry leader in this market. The company has enjoyed beautiful moments since its foundation thanks to its reliable, solid, and efficient masterpieces.
