History of the Breitling watch brand

Breitling, a joint-stock company belonging to the watchmaking industry, was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Switzerland. In 1914, the son of the founder, Gaston Breitling, took over the company after the death of his father. He made sure that the watch manufactory specialized in the development of the chronograph. In 1923, for the first time, a Breitling watch was developed with a first independent chronograph pusher. In addition, since 1936, the world-renowned watch brand has been supplying the Royal Air Force with on-board watches for the aircraft. At that time, the wristwatches made especially for the pilots were characterized by luminous numerals on a black dial. In 1942, a Breitling model was also officially introduced by the US Army Air Force. The first diver's watch was launched by Breitling in 1958 under the name "Superocean". In 1979, the current owner Willy Breitling sold the company to Ernest Schneider, an experienced entrepreneur, watchmaker and pilot. In 2002, the company took another revolutionary step and for the first time produced a water watch capable of withstanding pressure to a depth of 3,000 meters.
