BREITLING UNVEILS THE NAVITIMER PERPETUAL
CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE DUO

Breitling introduces two new perpetual-calendar chronographs that represent the Navitimer at its highest expression. The Navitimer B19 duo is inspired by the extreme altitudes the iconic pilot’s chronograph has mastered.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For over 70 years, the Navitimer has taken on many roles, from essential pilots’ tool to cultural icon. This year, Navitimer Stories will bring these chapters to light across aviation, lifestyle, and technical savoir faire, showing why this remarkable timepiece remains as relevant today as ever.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Created in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Navitimer united a chronograph with Breitling’s patented circular slide rule, allowing aviators to perform flight calculations directly from their wrist. The quintessential pilots’ watch, it soon proved itself across every altitude—worn by supersonic pilots at the edge of space and by astronauts from the earliest days of human spaceflight.

Now presented in its highest expression of complexity and materials, Breitling introduces the Navitimer B19 as two exceptional timepieces powered by the brand’s manufacture B19 perpetual-calendar chronograph movement. Rendered in steel and platinum or full platinum and finished in altitude-inspired colorways, they celebrate the vertical journey of Breitling’s icon.

“At Breitling, we have always pushed limits, not only through our iconic designs, but also by engineering exceptional movements that power our watches.” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “The Navitimer B19 delivers on both sides.”

A CENTURY IN MOTION: THE CALIBER B19

At the heart of this high-altitude duo is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B19, first introduced in 2024 to mark the brand’s 140th anniversary. It represents a major technical milestone, combining Breitling’s chronograph exper tise with a true perpetual calendar, one that automatically accounts for leap years and varying month lengths, and will not require a major manual correction for a century. The moonphase adds a final celestial link, reinforcing the Navitimer’s original purpose as an instrument made for the sky.

Technically, the Navitimer B19 has set a new benchmark for Breitling, a feat that earned it a 2025 Temporis Award. It is an automatic perpetual calendar chronograph with a 96-hour power reserve.

 A one-step correction system via the crown allows all calendar indications to be advanced together, while two discreet dimple-style pushers at 8 and 10 o’clock enable individual adjustments. Winding is handled by a solid 18k red-gold rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback, and the movement is COSC-certified as a chronometer for unwavering precision.

It is, quite simply, the most advanced movement ever housed in a Navitimer and currently the only core-catalog automatic perpetual-calendar chronograph on the market.

ALTITUDE AS COLOR, MATERIAL, AND MOOD

The timepieces translate the Navitimer’s story in the air universe into two powerful, tangible expressions. Each model channels a different altitude. A 75-piece limited edition in full platinum features a deep blue lacquered dial inspired by the stratosphere at high cruising altitudes, where the atmosphere thins, the sky deepens, and the Earth’s curvature becomes visible. The full platinum case is paired with a black outer slide rule and a contrasting white inner scale, drawing the eye toward the dial’s celestial center. It is fitted with a matching navy-blue alligator strap with a folding clasp.

The second execution, in stainless steel with a platinum bezel, is defined by its anthracite dial, reflecting the stillness and depth of space. It features the same high-contrast slide rule configuration and refined dial architecture and is delivered on a brown alligator strap or seven-row steel bracelet, underscoring its dramatic, cosmic tone.

Both models share a series of refined design signatures. Their dials provide depth and sheen, while raised metal rings around the subdials introduce a new three-dimensional architecture.

The moonphase disc at 12 o’clock draws the eye with its detail, and each case is finished with Breitling’s signature knurled bezel. Each dial becomes a miniature universe: technical, celestial, and instantly recognizable as a Navitimer.

AN ICON, STILL IN FLIGHT

The Navitimer was born from professional demand. With its signature slide rule, it became an essential cockpit tool during the golden age of civil aviation. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Over time, its distinctive look moved beyond the flight deck, appearing on the wrists of figures as varied as Miles Davis, Serge Gainsbourg, and Formula 1 legends Graham Hill and Jim Clark, and even into space with astronaut Scott Carpenter, while remaining faithful to its original form.

With this pair of exceptional watches, Breitling unites heritage, high complication, and modern design in a way only the Navitimer can. They are shaped by civil aviation, inspired by the skies above, and engineered to measure time for generations.

DOMINIQUE RENAUD,
DISRUPTION THROUGH EVIDENCE

“Form ever follows function.”
Louis Sullivan, The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered (1896).

A NEW BRAND

The Dominique Renaud brand, unveiled in April 2026, is the second expression of HHDR. “Through this watchmaking signature, Dominique Renaud now presents the most accomplished version of his work as an inventor and designer.” (Michel Nieto, CEO of HHDR)

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Dominique Renaud here expresses a powerful watchmaking principle that determines the form—disruptive and minimalist. The formal clarity and sense of purity make a Dominique Renaud watch feel self-evident. The watchmaking language deployed here could only be expressed within a new kind of envelope. “A Dominique Renaud can be recognized from afar: its architecture and the unique spectacle of its display illustrate a truly distinctive watchmaking stance.” (Michel Nieto)

With each new creation, the Dominique Renaud brand will lay claim to this exploratory watchmaking that transcends established codes and privileges the total coherence of function determining form.

THE EXPRESSION OF A SINGULAR FIGURE

Historical legitimacy: Dominique Renaud is the legendary designer behind dozens of prestigious complications created for illustrious maisons. He was a pioneering movement specialist who developed complications for major houses. He became a key figure in the industry through the mythical Renaud Papi manufacture, later sold to Audemars Piguet.

Collective spirit: Dominique Renaud never designs alone. He shares, listens, tests, challenges, and co-builds. Like any great watchmaker, Dominique Renaud cultivates a collaborative, experimental and humble approach to his craft.

Watchmaking inventor: Dominique Renaud is a watchmaking inventor who looks to the world for inspiration. Nature and the mountains are an essential source of creativity for him. Like any inventor, he prepares a future that he alone can see. That is what makes him fundamentally nonconformist. Dominique Renaud rethinks, questions and reinvents the very foundations of movement.

 

“Dominique Renaud’s creations will continue to pave the way for a new approach to watchmaking excellence.” (Michel Nieto)

THE PULSE60

FEATURES

At the heart of the Pulse60 is a completely new movement, the Dominique Renaud BUA2024 — for Balancier Ultra Amplitude with a development that started in 2024.

Exploring the extremes of frequency

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

“By exploring the extreme regimes of watchmaking, I sought to show that it is possible to move beyond standards, and even rethink the balance-escapement interaction.” (Dominique Renaud)

Dominique Renaud is known for having pushed the limits of the regulating organ, notably with a very high-frequency, low-amplitude balance: 12 Hz for just 30 degrees, whereas the industry average lies between 2.5 Hz and 5 Hz. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

This radical approach already illustrated his spirit as an explorer and inventor. That experience forms the basis of Dominique Renaud’s current reflection: understanding through practice what frequency truly changes in the behavior of a movement.

“One way of solving watchmaking challenges is to tackle a problem through its exact opposite.” (Dominique Renaud)

 Rather than continuing to explore high frequency, he became interested in the benefits of the lowest one possible in contemporary mechanical watchmaking: 1 Hz. Here, the balance oscillates only once per second—60 beats per minute, equivalent to the resting frequency of a human heart. Where high frequency sought precision through multiplying events, low frequency seeks accuracy through mastering rhythm.

By bringing watchmaking frequency back to that of living beings, Dominique Renaud goes beyond a technical choice: he reconnects watchmaking with our humanity, introducing a notion of time that is embodied rather than abstract.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This bold low-frequency approach drastically reduces the number of impulses and shocks in the escapement over a given period, thereby limiting the disturbances that pollute the natural motion of the balance. The second becomes a structuring unit of time, paced by the balance’s single to-and-fro motion, around which the entire movement is organized.

A large balance wheel to master the second

To fully harness this low frequency, the movement relies on a very large 20 mm balance wheel with high inertia, in the spirit of the massive balances found in marine chronometers. Once in motion, this balance tends to maintain its movement and resists variations in torque or minor shocks far better. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Its significant moment of inertia acts as a mechanical “buffer”: small disturbances represent only a tiny fraction of the total energy stored in the oscillation, so their influence on the rate becomes negligible. 

Like a tightrope walker

This balance can be compared to a tightrope walker crossing a wire: the longer the pole, the more stable the center of gravity becomes and the less the disturbances throw it off balance. With a short pole, each disturbance would have a much greater impact and would force the balance to correct its position constantly. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 This large balance acts like a long mechanical pole, stabilizing the rate over the second: it absorbs small variations, smooths out irregularities, and turns each tick-tock into a slow, broad, controlled beat.

Ultra-amplitude: far from the limiter

In most conventional movements, the geometry of the balance, roller and impulse pin imposes a strict amplitude limit; beyond a certain angle, “knocking” occurs, when the balance swings too far and strikes the back of the pallet fork, causing the watch to gain time.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Dominique Renaud has therefore completely rethought the construction of this ensemble so as to allow amplitude greater than 360° without knocking, whereas a traditional coaxial architecture is mechanically constrained well below that threshold. This newfound freedom in the design of the regulating organ opens an amplitude range previously unexploited in a wristwatch.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

“Imagine a movement as a car engine: the Pulse60 would be an engine whose operating range lies far from the redline.” Dominique Renaud

 This can be illustrated by the metaphor of an engine. A traditional movement functions like a limited engine whose normal operating range already lies close to the red zone: at the slightest increase in load, the engine hits its limiter—the watchmaking equivalent of knocking.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

With a theoretical maximum amplitude of around 700 degrees, the Pulse60 functions like a better-protected engine whose operating range lies far from the redline. Even when available energy is at its maximum or in the event of disturbances, the amplitude remains within a safe zone, thereby protecting rate regularity.

A vision of the ideal oscillator

This large amplitude is not merely a geometric feat; it directly affects the way the balance is regulated. By increasing the freedom of the oscillation, the balance remains free for longer and over a greater distance before and after the impulse. Within this expanded interval, its motion is governed more by its own dynamic laws than by interactions with the escapement. The relative influence of each impulse therefore decreases, helping to make the rate more stable and less sensitive to micro-variations.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

As a result, the number of disturbances experienced by the balance is reduced to a minimum. The resulting static rate stability is remarkable, with each position benefiting from more controlled behavior. This stability makes it possible to optimize the simulated average rate by having a better positional stability of the watch. 

AESTHETICS

The Pulse60 had to make such innovations visually crystal clear, and pay tribute to this mechanical exploration.

The case is inspired by a search for continuity and the absence of edges: a domed crystal, the disappearance of the bezel and the absence of lugs all facilitate a borderless integration with the strap. Its construction is composed of three parts, with a central container and sections integrated into each side of the strap, once again underscoring true mechanical ingenuity.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

At launch, the watch comes in 2 versions and 3 colorways: titanium, or a bi-material pink gold and titanium version. The grey or black dials of the titanium version feature a opaline base with diamond-cut openings, while the bi-material version presents a guilloché dial that interprets a traditional technique in a modern way. The case features a circular satin-brushed top evoking pieces from the 1970s, a period dear to Dominique Renaud, as well as polished flanks that create a sharply contrasting profile.

The integrated strap, developed specifically for the Pulse60, is secured by an interchangeable system that is both invisible and easy to use.

The Pulse60 display includes an hour/minute dial at 12 o’clock, a seconds counter at 9 o’clock with a natural dead half-second made possible by the 1 Hz frequency, which corresponds to one to-and-fro motion of the balance per second. A unique feature is the patented regulating system that has been positioned outside of the the balance wheel and which makes it possible to admire the spectacle of this large low-frequency balance wheel in an unobstructed way.

The Pulse60 display also includes a torque indicator at 3 o’clock, which takes information on the remaining power directly from the barrel, a system Dominique Renaud had already worked on during the Renaud Papi era.

Finally, the open back of the Pulse60 presents a streamlined arrangement of elements using simple forms: circle, half-circle and straight lines. In the upper part, the crown wheel and ratchet; in the lower part, an openworked escapement line highlights the particular architecture and an offset double roller system.

The Pulse60 will be available from April 2026 through all authorized retailers, priced at CHF 49,000 excluding taxes in Titanium and CHF 59,000 excluding taxes in Pink Gold and Titanium.

HHDR, A MAKER OF IDEAS AND OBJECTS

PURPOSE

Dominique Renaud has surrounded himself with an ecosystem to bring his creations to life. This is how Haute Horlogerie Dominique Renaud (HHDR) came into being, both a place of creation and a multidisciplinary constellation of talents.

HHDR is a living laboratory, an incubator where vision takes shape collectively. It is first and foremost a place of convergence before being an integrated manufacturing chain. At HHDR, expertise, trajectories and ideas meet.

By integrating profiles from diverse backgrounds, HHDR deliberately broadens the traditional framework of watchmaking and thus becomes a maker of ideas as much as of objects, rooted in Swiss mechanical tradition yet oriented toward contemporary technologies and uses.

THE NEST OF WATCHMAKING GENIUS

HHDR’s purpose is to set a collective dynamic back in motion—that of watchmaking genius.  

“We needed a very special place to accommodate the research, experimentation and long-term approach characteristic of our disruptive watchmaking.” (Dominique Renaud)

HHDR therefore established itself in Tolochenaz, at the heart of the Swiss watchmaking arc, to serve as the epicenter of its watchmaking ambition. This place embodies Dominique Renaud’s approach: an architecture that encourages the circulation of ideas while remaining closely connected to nature.
Today, nearly twenty people—watchmakers, designers, engineers and experts—collaborate and explore new forms of watchmaking here with rigor, coherence and freedom. This is where creations inspired by Dominique Renaud’s creative paradigm will come to life. Various explorations are conducted here in parallel, each driven by the single mantra of reconfiguring contemporary watchmaking.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

Alan Kay, father of object-oriented programming and designer of the Dynabook, precursor to the modern personal computer.

RENAUD TIXIER, THE INAUGURAL LANGUAGE OF HHDR

Renaud Tixier was the first concrete expression of the method championed by HHDR. Led by Dominique Renaud and developed with the young watchmaker Julien Tixier, this collaboration gave birth in 2024 to the Monday, the founding watch and manifesto piece of this brand.

“Monday was born from a desire to re-examine the archetypes of traditional watchmaking.” (DR) 

It embodies the conviction that innovation is born from dialogue between generations, between intuition and rigor, between experience and a fresh perspective.

Monday is part of the continuity of a companionship already initiated between Dominique Renaud and Julien Tixier, notably through projects such as Tempus Fugit (2022) or the secular calendar watch created for Furlan Marri (2023).

Monday thus concentrates the DNA of Renaud Tixier: a watchmaking of fertile tension, between tradition and invention, transmission and renewal.
