With its legacy in chronographs, Gallet becomes the second historic brand revived by Breitling
In a significant move, Breitling has announced the acquisition of Gallet, setting the stage for the revival of the historic watch brand, which dates back to 1826.
This marks Breitling’s second major acquisition following its 2023 purchase of Universal Genève, further solidifying its influence in the luxury watch industry. With Gallet joining Breitling and Universal Genève, the group now spans a broad spectrum, from entry-level luxury to high-end horology.
Founded by Julien Gallet in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1826, Gallet has long been synonymous with adventure and precision. The brand built its reputation on crafting robust timekeeping instruments for racing, aviation, and off-road expeditions—values that closely align with Breitling’s own chronograph heritage.
Gallet played a pioneering role in aviation history, having developed the stopwatch used to time the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903. That groundbreaking moment, piloted by Wilbur and Orville Wright aboard the Kitty Hawk Flyer, cemented Gallet’s legacy in horology and aviation alike.
Like many storied Swiss watchmakers, Gallet fell into obscurity during the quartz crisis of the 1970s and ’80s. Now, under Breitling’s stewardship, it is poised for a long-awaited resurgence.
According to Breitling CEO Georges Kern, Gallet timepieces will be sold alongside Breitling collections in the brand’s boutiques. Breitling’s own production facilities will be used for assembly and manufacturing. The first Gallet models under this new chapter are set to launch in mid-2026, with prices ranging from just under 3,000 to approximately 5,000 Swiss francs.
