Wakmann Watch Company was founded in New York in 1946. They became known as experts in the world of chronographs and multipurpose timekeeping. Very soon Wakmann had partnered up with Breitling and were providing timekeeping devices for the U.S. Armed Forces and the U.S. Government. Wakmann helped develop high accuracy cockpit timers for U.S. planes in WW2 and went on to develop Navigation-timer wrist watches for the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association. This led to the birth of the well known and loved Breitling Navitimer.
