BREITLING

Celebrating the Top Time   Yesterday evening at the Then & Now pop-up museum in Zurich, we gathered for a special Heritage Talk dedicated to Breitling’s most unconventional collection—the Top Time.  Cycling historian Herbie Sykes uncovered the rivalry between 1940s cycling legends and former Breitling ambassadors Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali; Breitling's Head of Product Marketing Alexandre Haeberle revealed how the Top Time evolved from a 1960s racing-inspired chronograph to today’s daring new editions; and cyclist Matteo Badilatti shared his personal take on the brand’s connection to freedom and performance. Thank you to our speakers and guests for being part of this evening of heritage, movement, and momentum. 

Congratulations to our brand ambassador Kelly Slater on receiving the well-deserved Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid. His influence on surfing—and the impact of his talent and ambition beyond the sport—is truly singular. https://lnkd.in/dftQczKN #Breitling #kellyslater #squadonamission

From rivals to legends.    The new limited-edition Top Time B01 Coppi and Top Time B01 Bartali honor one of cycling’s greatest rivalries—two champions who pushed each other to the limit and, in doing so, showed the world what true sportsmanship looks like.  Racing through the roads post-war Italy, their fierce competition gave way to deep respect.   These two distinct timepieces pay tribute to that lasting story of grace, glory, and the power of sport to inspire something greater.  https://lnkd.in/ebJCuK5e #Breitling #toptime #coppi #bartali

Breitling’s rich heritage includes the lesser-known story of its strong archive of women’s watches. Third generation founder Willy Breitling drew inspiration from his wife, Beatrice, while contemporary designs speak to the ever-expanding role of women in the world. Read more on Since 1884.
