History & Legacy of Breitling

Breitling is a renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, and now based in Grenchen. Known for its aviation-inspired designs and precision chronometers, Breitling has long been associated with the world of flight, dating back to World War I when it supplied military forces with cockpit instruments and chronographs. Originally focused on high-precision instruments for industrial and scientific use, the brand earned a reputation for technical excellence and reliability. While Breitling historically relied on movements from esteemed suppliers like Valjoux, ETA, and Venus, it took a major step forward in 2009 with the development of its in-house B01 caliber—a self-winding, column wheel chronograph movement used in flagship models such as the Chronomat 01 and Navitimer 01. With a legacy as intricate and storied as the movements it houses, Breitling continues to soar as a leader in Swiss watchmaking.
