Breitling watches have a long and remarkable history that began at the end of 19th century, when Leon Breitling opened a workshop specializing on chronographs and precision counters for scientific and industrial purposes. Starting his business in St. Imier, in the Jura Mountains, Leon Breitling later moves to La Chaux-de-Fonds, nowadays a well-known center of watchmaking in Switzerland.
After the death of the founder in 1914, the company ruled by his son Gaston, who later introduced the first wristwatch chronograph. His creation soon became very popular among pilots worldwide. Later, Breitling watches were unmistakably associated with aviation, becoming the official supplier to Royal Air Force and American Air Forces. The notable appearance of the Chronomat in 1942, the first chronograph with circular slide rule and the Navitimer, a wristwatch with navigation computer in 1954 was welcomed by pilots all around the world.
In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter tests a new creation of Breitling called the Cosmonaute Chronograph during his flight on the board of the Aurora 7 space capsule.
Seven years later, Breitling is one step forward with the invention of the self-winding chronograph movement. This became a great achievement for Breitling Company and for entire Swiss watchmaking industry.
In 1979 Ernest Schneider, a pilot who also specialized in watch manufacturing and microelectronic takes over the Breitling company following the Gaston Breitling's son Willy.
The introduction of the Chronomat in 1984 was marked as the return of the mechanical chronograph and soon gained its popularity around the globe, adding to one more significant achievement of Breitling watches.
