About Breitling :
Breitling is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling. In the early years, the company produced pocket chronographs and measuring instruments for professionals such as pilots and scientists.

In the early 20th century, Breitling concentrated on the production of wristwatches, using high-quality Swiss movements. The brand quickly became popular with pilots and aviators, thanks to its watches equipped with chronographs and special counters for measuring time and distance in flight.

In the 1940s, Breitling developed its famous Navitimer model, a watch equipped with a circular slide rule for air navigation calculations. The Navitimer became one of Breitling's most emblematic watches and was used by many famous pilots and aviators.

In the 1970s, Breitling went through a difficult period due to competition from the Japanese watch industry, but the brand managed to reinvent itself with more modern, sportier watches. In the 1980s, Breitling also launched its Aerospace line, which introduced innovative technologies such as LCD screens and electronic timing functions.

In the 1990s, Breitling became a world-renowned luxury brand, with a range of high-end timepieces for professionals and watch enthusiasts alike. Today, Breitling is considered one of the most prestigious brands in Swiss watchmaking, with a heritage rich in innovation, precision and style.
