About Breitling
The Founder
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, Breitling’s early days were marked by innovation linked to the world of precision chronographs - a product offering we still associate with the brand today. The namesake founder pioneered the pulsograph (an invention used by doctors to measure a patient’s pulse) in addition to chronographs accurate to within two-fifths of a second.
Gaston, the son’s founder, continued to innovate in the field of chronograph wristwatches: among the first Swiss watchmakers to design an independent start/stop pusher and incorporate the “reset-to-zero” function.
Following in his family’s footsteps, Willy Breitling - who steered the company through the chaos of WWII - redeveloped his grandfather’s logarithmic slide rule for usage in wristwatches. Breaking with convention, he introduced the “Premier” collection: stylish chronographs in a choice of metals intended for “non-professional” use.
