Founded in 1884, Breitling has a rich history deeply rooted in the world of precision timekeeping. The company was established by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, with the focused mission of developing chronographs and counters for scientific and industrial purposes. This legacy of innovation was carried forward by his son, Gaston Breitling, who in 1915 introduced one of the world's first wrist chronographs. Over the years, Breitling has built a name for itself with its commitment to manufacturing excellence, launching numerous iconic models that have made their mark in the fields of aviation, maritime, and exploration.

During the mid-20th century, Breitling further solidified its connection to aviation. The brand developed onboard chronographs for aircraft cockpits, earning the moniker "official supplier to world aviation". The Navitimer model, introduced in 1952, became a favorite among pilots with its slide rule bezel that could perform crucial flight calculations. Breitling's relationship with the world of flight has continued to the present day, with partnerships and sponsorships of international aviation events and teams.

In the 21st century, Breitling has continued to innovate, combining state-of-the-art technology with classic craftsmanship. The brand's commitment to precision and functionality remains unwavering, with each timepiece reflecting the company's legacy of excellence. From the SuperOcean collection designed for divers, to the stylish Premier line that brings together elegance and performance, Breitling continues to create watches that are reliable, robust, and highly functional, appealing to adventurers and connoisseurs alike. Joining the Breitling team means being part of a proud history and a vibrant future.

Panerai, also known as “Officine Panerai”, is a brand on its own. While Panerai watches have been available to the public only since 1993, the brand has a long and rich history, mainly linked to the Royal Italian Navy. The brand started as a simple workshop created in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai, in Florence, Italy. His “officine” wasn’t only a shop and workshop for timepieces but was also as the city’s first watchmaking school. The main step in Panerai’s history will occur in 1916, after Guido Panerai (grandson of the founder) took over the family business and created “Radiomir”, a self-luminous material that allowed to see the time in the dark and underwater.

For some years already, Panerai was supplying the Royal Italian Navy with high precision instruments. Radiomir, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials, patented in 1916, will become a key element in Officine Panerai’s production. In 1936, on the eve of the Second World War, Panerai creates the first prototypes of the model now known as “Radiomir” for the frogman commandos of the First Submarine Group Command of the Royal Italian Navy. This large 46mm watch, with superior water resistance, featured a luminous dial and will be delivered as of 1938 to military forces – after several changes to the original concept, including the creation of the “sandwich dial”.

Multiple developments followed, all for military-issued watches only. In 1940, Panerai presents the Radiomir 1940, with reinforced lugs and a cushion-shaped case made with edges that are more pronounced on the side – a shape that will later become the brand’s hallmark. In 1943 will be developed another milestone watch, the chronograph “Mare Nostrum” for deck officers. In 1949, the brand launches a new luminous material named “Luminor”, this time based on tritium, which supersedes the radium-based paste. Coincidentally, the eponymous watch will be introduced, with the development of the trademark crown-protecting bridge – again, an element that will forge the brand’s DNA.

In 1972, the brand will be passed to engineer Dino Zei, after Giuseppe Panerai, son of Guido, dies. The brand still acts as a military supplier, with Italian Navy supply contracts long covered by military secrecy. The production is however now only focused on diving instruments, such as compasses and wrist depth gauges, as well as pressure compensation underwater torches.

It’s only in 1993 that Panerai will be launched to the public. Officine Panerai indeed presented a collection of three series of limited edition watches: the Luminor, the Luminor Marina and the Mare Nostrum, which draw inspiration from the historical models created for Second World War commandos. An important step in the brand’s history occurs in 1997, when the Vendôme Group, later to be named Richemont, will invest in Panerai and make available internationally and transforms it as one of the major players of the industry.

Since then, the brand has launched multiple collections and has even started to create its own in-house movements, thanks to production facilities based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Yet, all the watches that are stamped with the name Panerai are reminiscent of the watches created for the Italian frogmen, with the typical military elements.

Thélios was created in 2017, when LVMH entered the eyewear industry by joining forces with sector expert Marcolin. It produces unique optical frames, drawing on Italian design and craftsmanship to reflect the quintessential spirit of each prestigious Maison. The name is a reference to Greek mythology: a combination of Theia, goddess of light and sight, and Helios, god of the sun. Thélios covers every stage of the eyewear production cycle – it designs, manufactures and distributes sunglasses and optical frames for a number of LVMH Maisons. It aims to become an emblem of quality in a rapidly transforming sector, driven notably by a burgeoning Asian market. Driven by this ambition, in April 2018 the company inaugurated the Manifattura Thélios, its flagship production site and center for excellence. Its comprehensive, flexible manufacturing system ensures full control of every stage of production, from the design brief to design, prototyping and production. The site focuses on innovation and cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D printers, while also emphasizing traditional craftsmanship. The 8,000-sq.m production facility located in Longarone – a town in northern Italy known for its long history of eyewear manufacturing – employs around a hundred people. The sustainably designed and eco-friendly building – complete with 2,300 solar panels on its roof – is the brainchild of architecture firm Designgroup Architetti Associati. The Manifattura Thélios produces about 1.5 million optical frames a year and could rapidly triple its production by expanding its brand portfolio. Thélios – which is already working with Celine, Loewe, Fred, Kenzo and Berluti – is looking to the future with its Manifattura, while carrying on a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. This project combines LVMH and Marcolin’s taste for top-quality products with respect for a cultural legacy essential to the region. It is a reminder of how strategically important Italy is for LVMH, and yet another example of the Group’s investment in Italy’s economic heritage and development.
