Breitling has extended its partnership with Franjo von Allmen. The Swiss skier joined the maison in 2024. In two years, he has become one of alpine racing’s most decorated young talents.
Von Allmen’s rise has been swift. Two World Championship titles in Saalbach followed his 2025 season. Then came a historic triple gold at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, across downhill, super-G, and the men’s team combined.
No Swiss athlete had ever won three golds at a single Winter Games. Von Allmen did it in his third year with the brand. The story continues in February 2027, when he competes on home snow at the World Ski Championships in Crans-Montana.
Why Breitling Renewed the Partnership
Steven Biedert, Managing Director of Breitling Switzerland AG, points to consistency of character rather than medal counts. He describes von Allmen as precise, composed, down-to-earth, and tireless. These are the same values the House builds its identity around. Von Allmen credits trust as the foundation. He says the partnership has grown through how the two sides work together, not just through results on the slopes.
The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46: Precision On and Off the Slopes
Off the mountain, von Allmen wears the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46. It runs on Breitling’s in-house Caliber 01 and carries the collection’s signature slide rule. Every movement is COSC-certified for accuracy.
The watch suits an athlete whose sport leaves no room for error. Downhill skiing rewards split-second precision under pressure. So does the Navitimer. Readers curious about how far this precision extends can see it applied to space exploration in Breitling’s Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Artemis II.
Founded in 1884, Breitling remains one of a handful of independent watchmakers producing its own manufacture calibers. The von Allmen renewal fits a pattern. The House continues to align itself with figures who define performance at the highest level. Full details of the announcement are available through Breitling’s official press office.
