Breitling Chronomat watch

Breitling is a prestigious Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Grenchen, Switzerland. Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, the brand has historically specialized in technical watches and chronographs, becoming a staple in the aviation industry.

Breitling watches are manufactured exclusively in Switzerland, adhering to the strict 'Swiss Made' requirements. In 2017, CVC Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company from the Schneider family. In late 2022, the Swiss investment company Partners Group acquired a majority stake in Breitling, and by 2024 and beyond it serves as the ultimate owner, continuing the brand's legacy of independence and high-precision craftsmanship.
