The story of Breitling watches begins when Léon Breitling first opened a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1884, making pocket watches and chronograph watch designs. His son, Gaston, initiated the production of Breitling watches in 1914 for the military in the First World War. Breitling timepieces have been associated with flying since 1936, when Willy Breitling (Leon's grandson) launched a chronometer for instrument panels in aircraft cockpits. In 1952 the Navimeter, a super chronograph watch designed especially for pilots was produced, as was well received by both pilots and watch aficionados. In 1970 Breitling introduced the Breitling GMT, a the first chronograph with two hour hands (one for 12 hour system, one for 24 hours system).
