When you talk about chronometric precision, it is a must to mention Breitling watches. Watch enthusiasts respect this brand for its drive for accuracy, releasing one of the most precise watch movements in the industry. Aside from its unmatched technology, fans are also in love with its aesthetics. The brand is very detail-oriented, as its model manifests.
Breitling is one of the few independent companies that has gained massive recognition worldwide. In 1934, its popularity increased because of its second pusher innovation, which changed the modern chronograph game. The said second pusher holds the ability to reset the stopwatch to zero. Because of this, Breitling maintained its relevance in the scene.
Breitling and its magnificent legacy
Breitling watches intertwined with the lifestyle of the many—pilots, athletes, and even celebrities. Léon Breitling founded Breitling in 1884 after the world’s first flight. One could say that the brand has a close-knit relationship to the history of aviation, and the logo, the “Winged B,” openly manifests in this. Since then, it has penetrated the watchmaking industry.
