Breaking News: Cheap 2025 Breitling Replica Watches UK Acquires Another Historic Watch Brand! It’s Gallet!

Following Swiss made Breitling replica watches‘ acquisition of the renowned Universal Genève brand, the Grenchen-based watchmaker has done it again with another iconic name in chronographs — Gallet. With Gallet, Breitling, and Universal Genève, the group will cover a wide range, from entry-level luxury to the high-end segment and everything in between.

Gallet’s heritage

In a separate article, Fratello member Tomas Rosputinsky will guide you through the history of Gallet watches. It’s a long and rich history indeed, with Julien Gallet having founded the brand in 1826. With a great feel for significant moments, UK AAA Breitling fake watches CEO Georges Kern is reviving Gallet exactly 200 years later. In 2026, Gallet will make its return with watches underlining the brand’s heritage, quality, and spirit of adventure.

Harry S. Truman’s watch

Gallet’s heritage resembles luxury Breitling copy watches‘ chronograph history. Gallet developed watches with a clear focus on travel, aviation, and racing. One example is an early hand-held stopwatch that the Wright brothers used during their first powered flight in 1903. In 1856, Jules Racine & Co. took over Gallet’s distribution in North America, which then quickly became the brand’s primary market. In 1939, Gallet introduced its Flying Officer watch, a waterproof chronograph designed to track multiple time zones.

The Flying Officer watch was the perfect companion for pilots and globetrotters, and it also found its way to the wrist of US President Harry S. Truman. Fratello editor Tomas Rosputinsky picked up a wonderful Gallet “Truman,” which he will cover soon here.

Multichron

Another impressive and significant Gallet watch is the 1938 Multichron Clamshell. The Multichron Clamshell was a waterproof chronograph, with various versions available for motor racing, speed boating, and aviation. Many consider the Multichron series the cornerstone of the Gallet brand.

For example, car racer Rex Mays wore the Multichron Regulator, which he got in 1940 after winning the Springfield Mile championship.

Unfortunately, like many other Swiss watch brands, Gallet suffered tremendously from the Quartz Crisis and a soaring Swiss franc in the 1970s and 1980s, and Gallet disappeared from the market.

Five questions about the Gallet acquisition

Today, the new owners of Gallet announced the return of this historical watch brand. We can expect watches priced between CHF 3,000 and CHF 5,000. Nowadays, brands like Tudor, Longines, TAG Heuer, and Oris occupy this crowded segment, but it can always use some additional creativity and interesting propositions.

The Gallet acquisition makes us curious about the watches and the brand itself. What movements will the new Gallet watches use? What price segment will they be in (we spoiled that one already), and how/where will people be able to buy them? We were able to ask these questions to Georges Kern.

Challenges

Fratello (F): What was the biggest challenge during the Gallet acquisition process?

Georges Kern (GK): The biggest challenge during the acquisition process for Gallet was managing its complexity over a year and a half while ensuring that all elements came together seamlessly under strict confidentiality.

We had been eyeing this acquisition for years. The vision was to have three brands in our portfolio. We knew where we wanted to take high quality replica Breitling watches UK and recognized that we were now operating in a completely different price segment than we were 7–8 years ago. Breitling has evolved significantly. In recent years, we have been able to sell higher-priced products, meaning our average price has increased considerably.

However, you can’t stretch a brand too far, neither to the lower nor to the higher end. There are limits for most brands, and the same is true for Swiss made fake Breitling watches. The acquisitions of Universal Genève and Gallet allow us to extend our reach both upward and downward. With the three brands, we have a clear segmentation. Universal Genève, which we acquired in 2023, will be positioned distinctly above Breitling in terms of price and will operate completely independently.

With Gallet, we have found a strong brand with historical roots and relevance that complements Breitling’s offering in the entry-level segment of luxury watches. Gallet will be a sister brand to top UK Breitling super clone watches and will be integrated into Breitling boutiques, but it will maintain a completely distinct brand identity and positioning, targeting different customers.

This enables us to offer retailers a comprehensive range across different price segments from a single independent provider.

Gallet’s pricing

F: Mechanical Breitling watches start at around €5,000. At which price point will Gallet be offered?

GK: Gallet will be positioned in the entry-level luxury segment, with prices ranging from slightly below CHF 3,000 to around 5,000. This is lower than Swiss China Breitling replica watches‘ current average selling price of around CHF 7,200, offering an attractive alternative as most competitors focus on models above CHF 5,000.

With the acquisition of Gallet, Breitling is further expanding its influence in the luxury watch sector following its purchase of Universal Genève in 2023. Copy Breitling watches for sale aims to position Gallet as a brand with classic products and a distinctive design language in the entry-level segment of luxury watches — a market many Swiss watch brands have abandoned in recent years.

This expansion allows us to cover a price range from which Breitling fake watches shop site has moved away in recent years. With Universal Genève and Gallet, we have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive product strategy from the ground up with an offering that complements Breitling.

Entry-level luxury

F: Is the target audience the watch enthusiast/collector, or is Gallet targeting a wider audience?

GK: We see great potential for watches in the entry-level luxury segment, especially for a strong, historically significant, and distinctive brand like Gallet. Many competitors have vacated this segment in recent years, creating an opportunity for us to establish a strong presence. With Gallet, we can offer customers iconic designs and high-quality products at an attractive price-performance ratio. The common belief that only the high-end segment is thriving is not accurate; many successful brands specialize in “accessible luxury,” including in the watch industry.

Gallet’s distribution network

F: Will Breitling boutiques offer Gallet watches, or will this be a separate operation?

GK: While we plan on having an e-commerce platform by the end of 2026, there are no plans to open standalone Gallet boutiques. Gallet will leverage perfect 2025 replica Breitling watches‘ existing sales and distribution network, including Breitling’s internal and external boutiques as well as selected wholesale partners.

F: Breitling fake watches online store has a strong focus on (in-house-developed) chronometer-certified movements. With the positioning of Gallet in mind, is it possible to offer an in-house (Breitling) movement, or will there be at least COSC-certified movements? Can you elaborate?

GK: We are currently not planning to equip Gallet watches with Breitling in-house movements. However, this possibility will be considered as part of the ongoing development process. Gallet will leverage best Breitling replica watches‘ strong relationships with industry suppliers to ensure access to high-quality movements. Gallet watches will be crafted with precision and quality, though they will not undergo a COSC certification.

F: Thank you for answering our questions.

Top Online Replica Breitling UK Delivers Second Highest Sales In History

Perfect Breitling replica watches UK says it will continue its focus on growing online sales and direct to consumer channels in commentary accompanying FY2024 financial results for the British operation.

Sales dropped by 14.3% to £76.4 million for the year ending March 31, 2024, which is the second-highest annual turnover in history for Swiss made Breitling fake watches UK, topped only by the prior financial year’s £89 million.

Operating profit was down by 14.7% to £3.05 million, which would also have been the company’s best-ever were it not for the exceptional post-pandemic 2022-23 boom year.

LVMH Watch & Jewellery, home to TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith for the UK and Ireland (including wholesale and retail), posted a similar dip in sales of 11.5% from £136 million to £120 million for its most recent financial year, which ended on December 31, 2024.

With the exception of Rolex and Patek Philippe, financial results from retail specialists such as Laings, Watches of Switzerland Group, Beaverbrooks and Chisholm Hunter, have seen sales broadly flat from late 2022 into early 2024, but watch manufacturers within the Swatch, Richemont and LVMH groups, have dipped from record highs over the same period.

This suggests a shift in market share from group brands like TAG Heuer, Panerai, Omega, IWC, Hublot, Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre to the giant privateers: Rolex, AP and Patek Philippe and their retail partners.

However, even retailers that have maintained sales close to all-tiome-highs have seen profits squeezed as the cost of building and maintaining exceptional showrooms with expert teams rises.

High quality UK replica Breitling watches predominately operates a wholesale business model in the UK. It has close to 30 branded boutiques across the UK, mostly “external” boutiques run by retail partners including WoSG and Beaverbrooks in addition to 86 authorised dealer multibrand showroom locations.

Commenting on its wholesale-to-retail strategy, cheap Breitling copy watches UK states: “The key objective for the business remains to grow and optimise the distribution network whilst enhanding the image, sales density and efficiency with our partners. There will also be continued focus on growth of online sales and direct to consumer channels.

“During the [FY2024] year, one external boutique was internalised, a further six external boutiques were opened and we continued to invest in enhanced presentation across all distribution channels.”
