Breitling

With a vast legacy of history

It was the Breitling brand that took the first Swiss wristwatch into space. With a vast legacy of history, the company is known for its cutting-edge stance. Some 60 years after Carpenter’s iconic flight in the Aurora 7 space capsule, Breitling has presented a piece of that narrative, unknown to most: the watch the astronaut carried on blast off, the Cosmonaute. Corroded and worn, the object remained in the archives of the company’s collections. The model that now was presented to the world contains the circular slide rule for mathematical calculations and a 24-hour dial, and is a faithful version of the original. Timelessness is inherent to the watch, although when analysed in detail, modern adjustments are visible as a result of the passage of time.
