The Breitling family tradition of achievement in quality and accuracy in timekeeping has continued for over a full century. In 1884 Leon Breitling opened a workshop in the Jura Mountains specializing in the manufacture of chronographs and precision instruments for scientific and industrial purposes. 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. The early Breitling chronographs featured both center chronograph seconds as well as a 30 minute totalizer. Breitling was awarded a patent in 1923 for inventing the independent pushpiece, and another in 1926 for the 1/10 second totalizer. In 1934 Willy Breitling launched the modern chronograph with his invention of the second, return-to-zero pushpiece. The chronograph as we know it was complete. To this day, this style of chronograph remains one of Breitling's best selling timepieces. In 1942 the Chronomat was born with a circular slide rule which was popular with the American Armed forces. In 1962 Astronaut Scott Carpenter wore the Cosmonaute chronograph during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora space capsule. 1969 saw the breakthrough invention of the self winding chronograph movement. 1979 saw Ernest Schneider take over the Breitling brand from the founders Grandson Willy Breitling. In 1999 Breitling set itself the test of having its entire product range Chronometre certified at the Swiss testing institute. In 2000 Breitling moved to new headquarters in Grenchen Switzerland combining a state of the art production facility with the administration office. 2001 saw the launch of the super quartz movement moving the benchmark of the quartz movement into COSC standard. Today Breitling persists in maintaining its mission to improve and redefine itself. Breitling watches are available in steel, precious metals, or titanium, with a myriad of dial treatments, straps and bracelets: Not to mention the many different and highly specialized features from alarms to emergency transmitters. Breitling remains poised for the 21st century and beyond as a force in precision timekeeping.
