Based in Grenchen, Switzerland, the Breitling brand has produced stunning timepieces, such as the Breitling Navigator and the Breitling Aviator watch, for over 130 years. The Swiss watchmaker is responsible for creating some of the most precise time-keeping pieces ever made. Regarded as a major luxury watch brand, Breitling was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling. The Breitling brand was dedicated to making chronographs which could be used for industrial, military and scientific applications. Breitling is a byword for watches produced using the finest materials, strict quality control and stringent testing.
