A specialist of technical watches,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph and is a leader in this complication. The firm has shared all the finest moments in the conquest of the skies thanks to its sturdy, reliable and high-performance instruments. One of the world’s only major watch brands to equip all its models with chronometer-certified movements, the ultimate token of precision,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0is also one of the rare companies to produce its own mechanical chronograph movements, entirely developed and manufactured in its own workshops. This family business is also one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands.<\/p>\n
THE INVENTOR OF THE MODERN CHRONOGRAPH<\/p>\n
In 1915,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0heralded the emergence of the wrist chronograph by inventing the first independent chronograph pushpiece. In 1923, the firm perfected this system by separating the stop\/start functions from that of resetting. This patented innovation thereby made it possible to add several successive times without returning the hands to zero \u2013 which proved extremely useful both for timing sports competitions and for calculating flight times. In 1934,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0set the final touch to the modern face of the chronograph by creating the second independent reset pushpiece \u2013 a decisive breakthrough that was soon adopted by the competition.<\/p>\n
In 1969, the brand took on one of the greatest 20th\u00a0century watchmaking challenges by presenting the first selfwinding chronograph movement. In 1984,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0heralded the rebirth of the mechanical chronograph by launching the famous\u00a0Chronomat, which has since become its leading model.<\/p>\n
In 2009, the firm\u2019s engineers once again made their mark on the history of the chronograph by creating\u00a0Breitling\u00a0Caliber 01, a high-performance selfwinding movement entirely developed and produced in its own workshops. Since then, the brand has developed an entire range of Manufacture\u00a0Breitling\u00a0movements equipped with useful and innovative functions – such as dual timezone Caliber B04 and worldtime Caliber B05, both distinguished by their revolutionary user friendliness.<\/p>\n
A leader in the field of mechanical chronographs,\u00a0Breitling\u00a0is also in the forefront of electronics in watchmaking. The brand has indeed established itself in the vanguard of innovation by creating the\u00a0Emergency, the world’s first wristwatch equipped with an authentic integrated dual frequency personal locator beacon, as well as by developing its own multifunction electronic chronograph movement, specifically designed to meet the needs of aviators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
