Navitimer : L'épopée du Chronographe Breitling
G.R.A.M.
Watchprint, 2022
Dès le début de son existence, en 1884, Breitling se spécialise dans la mesure du temps, à savoir la conception de compteurs et chronographes. C’est dans les années 1930 que se créent les fondements d’une relation étroite avec le monde de l’aviation et de l’aéronautique, sous l’égide de Willy Breitling. Ce lien indéfectible ne cessera jamais. En 1952, en collaboration avec l’AOPA, plus grande association aéronautique de l’époque, Breitling lance le développement de la Navitimer, qui offre alors ce que nul autre fabricant de montres avait jamais proposé : un chronographe associé à une règle à calcul pour les pilotes d’avions. La Navitimer fut disponible pour les seuls membres de l’AOPA en 1954, puis commercialisée auprès du grand public dès 1955.
Depuis maintenant 70 ans, la Navitimer a connu la gloire, volé dans l’espace, traversé les crises, en intégrant de nombreuses évolutions sans jamais perdre son ADN d’origine. Elle a séduit plusieurs générations de professionnels, de célébrités, et d’amateurs de montres d’exception, gagnant sans nul doute son statut d’icône de l’histoire horlogère.
Ce deuxième livre de la collection Histoires de Montres, consacrée à l’histoire de modèles horlogers emblématiques, retrace son épopée et son destin unique, depuis sa création jusqu’aux modèles actuels.
