Breitling And The Breitling Jet Team
Breitling has supported the internationally acclaimed Breitling Jet Team since 2003. The partnership with the aerobatic team highlights Breitling’s century-old association with flight, and the Swiss watch brand remains enthusiastic about its highest-flying ambassadors.
Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling and Jacques Bothelin, Leader of the Breitling Jet TeamWhen Léon Breitling built his first chronographs at the end of the 19th century, aviation was in its infancy, and significatly, the watchmaker’s own evolution and its veritable explosion of innovations mirrored that of the age’s intrepid visionaries and their dreams of flying.
Within a couple of generations, aviation had come of age and Breitling, which had firmly established itself, became the chronograph of choice for pilots around the world.
In the 1930s, Breitling introduced onboard chronographs intended for aircraft cockpits, and their popularity among aviators made them an obvious choice for military pilots. In 1952, Breitling launched its Navitimer wrist chronograph, which has been a favorite among aviation enthusiasts ever since.
The brand’s long-established ties to aviation are represented by its partnership with the Breitling Jet Team, whose breathtaking aerobatics have delighted hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.
BREITLING AND THE JET TEAM: “STRIKING SYNERGIES”
The Dijon, France-based Breitling Jet Team has taken its aerial performances to distant international skies in recent years, attracting and amazing new fans throughout Asia and North America. At airshows and in public demonstrations, the pilots of seven L-39C Albatros jet aircraft fly in close formation – often less than three meters apart – at speeds of 700 km/h (435 mph).
