Breitling Replica Watch

If you will allow your imagination to a take you on a quick and exciting journey back in time to a place you have never been before, at least not in this life, to the year 1884 there you will meet Leon Breitling who was the man who established the Swiss watch brand we know today under the original family name of Breitling.

1884 was the year that many things happened in our history. Some of those events that may be of interest to watch collectors are that the USA adopted standard time and around October of the same year Greenwich also established itself universal time under the meridian of longitude. Sadly, in that same year Police seized all the copies of “What I Believe In” written by Tolstoy. But gladly the first volume of the Oxford Dictionary was produced and sold. If you had your trusty Breitling with you, you may have been able to make the last sighting of the eastern cougar although this sighting did happen in Ontario not Switzerland, but then we are back in time so perhaps travel is easy too.

Another remarkable thing happened in 1884 that same year that the Breitling Company and therefore its long line of successors all from the same family, came into being and that was that the man who was later to become the 33rd President of the USA was born in Lamar, MO and he was known as Harry S Truman.

When we travel back from that year 1884 we see that Leon Breitling was blessed with a son who was named, Gaston Breilting and he was to carry on the success of the company and turn it into an even greater enterprise. Later he was to indeed have a son himself and he named his son Willy Breitling. Now Willy must have been blessed with the watch making gene because he also went on to do great things by introducing the first wrist watch with a chronograph. There are many more amazing things that this company went on to do and they continue even until today when many other companies copy the master pieces of the Breitling by producing the Breitling replica watch.
