While many prefer smaller touches to make them unique, some people find large items fashionable such as large timepieces. Timepieces, including wristwatches, are well-loved accessories that keep us updated about the current time.
Swiss watches are popular, mainly because of their quality and durability just like Breitling timepieces. Breitling, which was founded by Swiss watchmaker Leon Breitling, started developing chronographs and counters only for scientific and industrial applications in 1884 in St. Imier. When the business flourished, Leon Breitling decided to relocate his workshops to La-Chaux-de-Fonds, the Swiss metropolis of watch industries during that time.
When Leon died, he left his son Louis in charge. One year later, Breitling created its first wristwatch chronograph and has continued to develop several more in this area. Of all watchmakers, Breitling was the first Swiss watchmaker to develop a pilot’s wristwatch primarily used for aviation. Instead of being a practically-applied tool, their chronographic watches have evolved into more of a class symbol and one of the world’s high-end luxury watches.
Why Breitling?
Breitling Watches will never run out of style and will always remain a status symbol. Among the many Swiss watches sold in the market, Breitlings are one of the more expensive ones costing thousands of dollars each. However, many people still buy them because they often draw the most looks and comments, mostly because of their enormous size.
Watches from Breitling do not go unnoticed with their distinctive characteristics, which other watches do not provide. These luxury watches are perfect for easy time reading with their shallow dials and bold style statement. Furthermore, they have stainless steel indexes, guilloche sub dials, and gloss dials, which only add to the watches’ value. Once one has owned a Breitling, one can only boast of its elegance and fashionable look. Though their features are noticeably large, the watches still maintain a rare class level.

How to know a real Breitling?
Breitling watches are known for their enormous sizes and easily recognizable features. However, due to the high cost of these luxurious timepieces, there have been many fake dealers of Breitling watches all over the world. There are plenty of online shops offering imitation Breitling watches. Thus, one must know how to spot a truly authentic Breitling where so many fakes claim to be the original.
One way to determine that a watch is a real Breitling is that the Chronograph (30) and the crystal (glass) should not turn when rotating the inner bezel. It should also have correct spellings of the small engravings located at the bottom of the case. A single misspelled word could already mean that it is fake.
These luxury watches typically last for many years, so if one’s watch shows signs of breakage after days of purchase, it probably is not a genuine Breitling. Additionally, original Breitling watches come with their own Controle Oficiele Suisse Des Chronometres Certificates with an imprint of the watch’s unique serial number for piece identification purposes. The certificate validates that each Breitling Swiss watch has been tested in three different temperatures, in five different positions within 15 days, thus assures the buyer of its durability and authenticity.
