History

This brand started in Milan in 1939.[2][3][4][5] In 1942 the first Breil wristwatch was introduced; the name is from a Swiss place. Initially, the company made a line of alarm clocks and a few years later, wristwatches too. In 1956, the producer Innocente Binda made an unusual promotional action: he dropped some watches of its production from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to show that after a flight of 302 meters watches proved to have been fully functional.

Operations

In 2001, Breil launched steel jewelry. In 2009, the company made the Bloom collection, the first range of jewels that can be worn together. In 2012, Breil launched the Infinity collection.[7][8][9][10][11]
