Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie welcomes Breitling as a new partner brand

Having welcomed 13 new brands in 2017, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie continues to grow with the arrival of Breitling, a storied name in traditional watchmaking, established in Saint-Imier in 1884, as its 43rd partner-brand Since its creation in 1884, Breitling has shared the great moments in the conquest of the skies Since 2005, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie has pursued its mission to promote Fine Watchmaking worldwide.

As a brand recognised for its history, creativity, expertise and innovation, Breitling is embedded in this unique environment From the opening by Léon Breitling of a modest workshop in Saint-Imier, in 1884, to the modern Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds we know today, Breitling has consistently stood out for its fabulous capacity to innovate, and its forward-looking mindset In 1915, Breitling also became one of the world's first manufacturers to present a wrist chronograph with a separate pusher above the watch crown.

Since 1952, the Navitimer - whose signature circular slide rule can be used to perform some twenty essential calculations and conversions while airborne - has confirmed Breitling as a reference in aviation. . Source
