Advestra advises Breitling on the acquisition of Gallet

In a significant step for the brand, Breitling has announced the acquisition of Gallet. This marks Breitling’s second acquisition of a notable brand – with the 2023 purchase of Universal Genève – and represents a further expansion of its influence in the luxury watch sector. With a legacy of precision timekeeping for early long-distance travel, exploration, and adventure, Gallet will now be positioned as a luxury, entry-level sibling brand to Breitling.

Advestra acted as leg­al coun­sel to Breitling in this trans­ac­tion. The team included Beda Kaufmann, Fabian Wild, Anna Capaul and Roland Truffer (all Cor­por­ate | M&A).
