Breitling

Founded in:
1884
Headquarters:
Grenchen, Switzerland

Founded by Léon Breitling in 1884, Breitling is most recognised for inventing the modern chronograph layout. Their Navitimer was the first watch to have travelled to space by Scott Carpenter in 1962. Dubbed as the “Cosmonaute”, it gained a cult following when it was made available to the public. With their focus on precision and unique design, Breitling remains popular amongst the younger generation even today.
