The history of Breitling watches
The brand has been in existence since 1884, but not as a watchmaker. After the factory's creation by founder Léon Breitling, various watch parts were produced such as chronometers, stopwatches and measuring instruments for other watchmakers.
Some years later in 1899, Breitling thought of making a wrist-worn stopwatch. This turned out to be a highly welcome addition to any pilot’s arsenal, which greatly contributed to the watch’s success. The friendly relations that the company sustained with the aviation industry have been vital in Breitling’s success ever since.
Sadly, Léon Breitling could not very much enjoy this success. After he passed in 1914 his son took over the factory and invented a watch with both a stopwatch and a dial. Being the first to create a watch with both of these qualities, which were widely regarded as being incredibly useful, this innovation opened the floodgates to Breitling’s lasting commercial success.
Even today nearly every Breitling contains both a stopwatch and a regular watch dial in keeping with their iconic innovation. These stopwatch-containing watches are referred to as chronographs. Our collection of Breitling mens watches contains many pieces with this very function.
Being from Switzerland, Breitling adopted the same neutral standpoint during the Second World War. Breitling delivered watches to both ally and axis parties during this period. Many pieces from this time have become incredibly sought-after collectors’ items.

Pilot’s watches
As mentioned before, Breitling focused for a long time in its starting years on selling to pilots. This inspired them to actively innovate with the aviation industry in mind. Besides this specialization, Breitling also collaborated with Bentley to create Breitling for Bentley, a sub-brand that combines the expertise of two brands known for their fantastic quality. Breitling has also created a fantastic collection of watches for divers.
Breitling is thus a symbol for an industry often associated with luxury and quality, especially during the start of the industry.
