As one of the last remaining independent Swiss watch brands, Breitling has played a crucial role in the development of the wrist chronograph since 1884. Breitling adds precision to the watchmaking process by furnishing all its watches with chronometer-certified movements. It is very rare for a watch company to produce its own mechanical chronograph movements, and Breitling does so in its own workshops. The Breitling watchmaking process includes a rigorous process of quality control, ensuring that every product is made with the finest craftsmanship in the world.
