Mens Breitling: £1000 - £2000
The Breitling saga begins in 1884, when Leon Breitling - just 24 years of age - founded the company in St. Imier, Switzerland. Breitling's goal was simple: to manufacture high-quality technical watches. As his business expanded, the young watchmaker moved the factory to the Swiss village of Grenchen and began specialising in chronographs. In 1914 his son and successor, Gaston Breitling , developed and built the very first wrist chronograph. Willy Breitling, the founder's grandson, later modified and improved the modern chronograph. Today, one can find chronograph pocket watches signed Breitling, which are often of very high quality.
