The watch brand Breitling was originally founded in 1884 in St. Imier by Leon Breitling, 24 years old.. He wanted to produce high-quality technical watches. As his business expanded, Breitling moved the factory to the Swiss town of La-Chaux-de-Fonds. The Breitling watches are certified chronometers and where designed primarily for aviation use.

After World War I, Breitling began producing chronographs and chronometers strictly for aviation, they were a pioneer in aviation business. In 1915 Breitling invented their first wristwatch chronograph and made several significant developments to this design. In 1923, Breitling was the first watch manufacturer that created a chronograph, with enabling the start and return to zero function, which was also performed by the winding crown. After that, in 1934 Breitling added a second timepiece to the chronograph featuring a cumulative time recording, this invention made the Breitling watch a favorite among pilots.

I will add this to the Breitling Guide asap. All those need updating but I've been lazy. :(

Thanks for this great contribution!

Edit: Added to the Guide.

Fantastic review. This is one of the reviews I'm pretty sure I'll be referring back to several times. I've started to get the Breitling bug after the purchase of my SOSF. Soon thereafter I started looking at navtimers. We all know its all downhill from there :rolleyes:! Thanks for taking the time to write this; it's really helpful for Breitling noobs like me.
