Léon Breitling founded the firm in 1884 specialising in chronographs and timing instruments for industry and science. Its lasting contribution is the two-pusher chronograph layout — Breitling separated start/stop from reset in 1934, and effectively every chronograph made since uses that arrangement. The Navitimer's slide rule made it standard equipment for pilots.
