Breitling Takes Flight Towards A More Sustainable Future Announcing A Partnership With Climate Impulse, Bertrand Piccard’s Pioneering Green Hydrogen powered Airplane Adventure.
Breitling, the Swiss luxury watchmaker known for its pioneering spirit in aviation, proudly announces its partnership with Climate Impulse, the latest endeavor of Swiss explorer and climate advocate Bertrand Piccard. This collaboration marks Breitling’s continued support for Piccard, a long-time brand ambassador, as he undertakes the groundbreaking Climate Impulse project: the first nonstop around-the-world, zero-emission flight, with a green hydrogen-powered airplane, estimated to last nine days and conceived to inspire climate action at large.
Bertrand Piccard, a serial explorer and pioneer of clean technologies, has a deep rooted history with Breitling, having been supported by the brand during the Breitling Orbiter missions, three vanguard journeys that saw Piccard achieve the first nonstop round-the-world balloon flight in 1999. Now, Breitling stands by Piccard once again as Official Partner as he embarks on another historic voyage, slated for 2028: the first nonstop round-the-world, zero emission flight with a hydrogen-powered airplane.
Breitling’s aviation heritage goes back to the 1930s, when its Huit Aviation division developed precision cockpit instruments and pilots’ chronographs for early aviators. With the rise of airlines, the brand went on to become “the official supplier to world aviation” with its Navitimer chronograph, equipped with a computational slide rule, ideal for commercial air crews. Today, Breitling’s Professional line of digital-analog aviation watches, continues to serve pilots on test flights and in extreme conditions.
