Chronomat Story : l'histoire méconnue de la montre sportive polyvalente signée Breitling

This new volume in the Watchprint’s Story Books series, dedicated to the most iconic watches, draws on previously unpublished research to trace, for the first time in its entirety, the history of Breitling’s most influential chronograph.

Drawing on recently unearthed archives and first-hand accounts, it recounts how the Chronomat, developed in the 1980s for the Italian aerobatic team, the Frecce Tricolori, played a key role in the brand’s revival and helped to redefine the codes of modern mechanical watchmaking.

Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, the book shines a light on the men and women, the ideas and the risks taken that shaped this period of profound transformation.
