Our guest today is Pablo Widmer, Head of Product Design at Breitling. After studying in Pforzheim and working at companies such as Chopard, he has been shaping the design language of Breitling since 2019 — a watch brand that has stood for technical precision and striking design for over 140 years. Pablo Widmer describes his design approach as »modern-retro«, i.e. as a dialogue between brand history and the present. Under his leadership, reinterpretations of iconic watch models such as the Top Time collection were created — or most recently the new Lady Premier series, which transforms a historical women’s model from the 1940s into a contemporary design.
