BREITLING BREITLING CE December 17th 1903, 10:35 hours, Kitty Hawk (North Carolina). The Wright brothers accomplish the first flight of a heavier-than-air powered craft. The feat lasted a mere 12 seconds, covering a distance of 120 feet, but it rewarded the perseverance, the courage and the innovative spirit of all pioneers of flight who had contributed to fulfilling one of humankind's oldest dreams. A century later, aviation has experienced spectacular growth. It has overturned existing notions of time and distance, shrinking the gaps between continents. Breitling has asserted itself as a recog nized aviation supplier thanks to its ultra-precise and ultra-reliable wrist instruments intended for the most demanding professionals.
