Banks Lyon is an official stockist for Breitling, a Swiss brand launched in 1884 in Saint-Imier. Since then, the watchmaker has been creating watches that are innovative, precise and durable – and which are chronometer-certified, adding to their accuracy and popularity.
Breitling watches are known for their connection to aviation and the military, which means they’re also practical and technologically advanced.
Many of the brand’s pieces are sporty and functional as well, and the Chronomat collection is a stunning example of this. Dependable and stylish, Breitling Chronomat watches are the perfect choice for many “men and women of purpose, action and style”.
A Brief History of Breitling
The brand is one of the last Swiss watchmakers to remain independent and most movements used are developed and manufactured in-house.
Since 1884, Breitling has consistently delivered some of the world’s best wrist chronographs. The company passed from Léon Breitling to his son, Gaston, in 1914, and, in 1915, he released one of the world’s first wrist chronographs with a separate push-piece above the crown.
In the 40s, the Brand added a circular slide rule to the bezel of models that were used by aircraft pilots, which later became the Breitling Navitimer watch – this has been one of Breitling’s most famous and sought-after collections.
In the following decades, Breitling continued to manufacture high-performance, technical watches. In 2017, the company became a part of CVC Capital Partners and Georges Kern became CEO.
