About Breitling
Getting into the watch manufacturing business in the
mid-1880s was no easy feat. Switzerland was experiencing the worst part of a long recession.
Yet, despite the economic difficulty, social unrest and uncertainty about the future, 24-year-old Léon Breitling stayed true to his vision of creating instruments that could measure, divide and master time.
Today, Georges Kern and his team continue the rich tradition
that began in a small workshop in St. Imier in 1884. The product portfolio was
restructured around the brand's three historic universes: Air, Land and Sea.
Breitling redefined itself as "a generalist Swiss watch brand offering a
cool, informal and inclusive alternative" to traditional watchmakers.
