====== Kelek ======
**Kelek** was a Swiss watch manufacturer, and is now belonging to the manufacturer [[Breitling]].

Founded in [[1896]] in the well-known watch town [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]], Kelek initially produced complicated watches such as bag [[chronograph]]s, mainly for military personnel. Later the company, well-known due to their high mechanical [[wristwatch]]es, made itself a name particularly as a specialist for [[complication]]s.

Back in the sixties, the company director and master watchmaker [[Feuvrier, Gabriel|Gabriel Feuvrier]] came to know [[Breitling, Willy|Willy Breitling]], and soon a close cooperation resulted. This was intensified in the following years and Kelek was instrumentally involved in the development of some [[complication]]s for [[Breitling]]. In [[1997]], this cooperation culminated in a "corporate marriage". Since [[2002]] this is called "[[Breitling Chronométrie]]".

Before there had also been collaborations with the manufacturer [[Chronoswiss]], which had led to joint models.
