In a significant step for the brand, Breitling has announced the acquisition of Gallet, setting the stage for the relaunch of the historic watch brand founded in 1826 - exactly two centuries later. This marks Breitling's second acquisition of a notable brand - with the 2023 purchase of Universal Geneve and represents a further expansion of its influence in the luxury watch sector. With a legacy of precision timekeeping for early long-distance travel, exploration, and adventure, Gallet will now be positioned as a luxury, entry-level sibling brand to Breitling. Now, with Breitling at the helm, Gallet's history will not only be preserved, but given a new life. This acquisition continues Breitling's commitment to shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking while honoring its past.
