Since 1884, Breitling has established a global reputation for high-precision timepieces, its pioneering role in the development of the wrist chronograph, and its uncompromising commitment to design excellence.
Spirit of innovation
Renowned for its spirit of innovation, it has also earned a place of privilege in the worlds of science, sport and technology. We have a long-standing relationship with Breitling which dates back to the 1980s and we are proud to work in partnership on Breitling mono-brand boutiques in locations such as the Trafford Centre, Manchester, in the UK, and the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. In the last year, we have opened new mono-brand boutiques in the Bluewater Shopping Centre, Cardiff and Glasgow in the UK and in the US we opened three mono-brand boutiques in the King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania, Westfield Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara, California, and the Green Hills Mall, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Watches of Switzerland Group Exclusive Special Edition
2020 saw the Watches of Switzerland Group and Breitling unite for the first time to create an exclusive timepiece in the ‘Watches of Switzerland Group Exclusive Special Edition Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42’. It combines function with style, and is a high performing model, one that is worthy of the legacies of both companies, as well as any watch collector.
The history of the Breitling Premier dates back to the 1940s, where the timepieces were the perfect accompaniment to the remarkable changes taking place all over the world. In 2018, Breitling released new models that extended that legacy, reflecting the historic design codes and proud history while still remaining modern and stylish. This collaboration follows suit and is designed for those who live an active lifestyle with the collection specifically dedicated to Breitling’s ‘land’ environment, one of three environments including ‘sea’ and ‘air’ that are the cornerstones of Breitling’s core collections.
The Watches of Switzerland Group Exclusive Special Edition
The new 42 mm timepiece features a striking, clean silver dial with contrasting blue subdials – a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small-second subdial at 9 o’clock and date window at 6 o’clock. The dial also features a white tachymeter scale on a blue inner bezel around the dial, enhanced by a blue alligator leather strap. The timepiece is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01, visible through the transparent case back. Developed in-house and recognised as one of the finest watch movements in the world, the self-winding COSC-certified chronograph carries an approximate power reserve of 70 hours. One final design touch comes in the form of an inscribed Watches of Switzerland Group logo on the case back.
