Inventor Of The Contemporary Chronograph - Breitling

As the inventor of the contemporary chronograph, Breitling has always pursued excellence in quality and extraordinary precision. In 1884, brand founder Leon Breitling opened the first workshop in Switzerland, dedicated to the research of timing instruments, thereby promoting scientific breakthroughs, sports records and industrial progress. In just a few years, Breitling's timing instruments have become famous far and wide, and the brand has also expanded in scale. From 1915 to 1923, Gaston Breitling, who inherited his father's business, further improved the complex timing function and designed the first chronograph watch with an independent button at 2 o'clock, which would later "start" and The "stop" and "return to zero" functions are separated to achieve segmented continuous timing.

In 1934, the second chronograph button independent of the 4 o'clock position was patented, attributed to the third generation successor Willy Breitling. Since then, the classic layout of modern chronographs has been laid by Breitling. With his professional strength in making timing instruments and his deep connection with aviation, Willy led Breitling with a forward-looking vision to gradually transcend the scope of developing tool watches, and his style became increasingly distinctive. The Navitimer was born for flight. In 1954, it became the official watch of AOPA, the world's largest pilot association. It was also trusted by countless aviation professionals and even NASA astronauts, and became the first Swiss watch to land in space.

Since 1999, the brand has made a commitment that every movement must be certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC), which remains unchanged today. Two years later, Breitling Chronometrie was completed in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the heart of Swiss watchmaking. With this as a strong support, the first brand-made 01 movement was launched in 2009. After more than ten years of full market verification, it is undoubtedly one of the benchmarks among high-end chronograph movements. The movement is equipped with a column wheel system and is equipped with a longitudinal clutch to ensure excellent functionality and stability. It has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and can also adjust the calendar quickly without any restricted areas. For works that meet the extended warranty conditions, whether equipped with a self-made movement or a non-self-made movement, the warranty will be extended by 3 years on top of the original 5 years and 2 years respectively.
