NATIONAL HARBOR, MD., (April 17, 2017)MGM National Harbor announced plans to add the independent Swiss watch manufacturer and chronograph specialist Breitling to its distinctive collection of luxury retailers. Located in the resort’s District, the new boutique is scheduled to open in August.

A longstanding partner of aviation, a field where reliability and precision play a vital role, Breitling has always devoted premier importance to the quality of its products, designed to withstand intensive use in the most trying conditions. Breitling equips all its models (both mechanical and quartz) with chronometer-certified movements by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) – the highest benchmark of precision and reliability and the only one based on an international norm. Whether it comes to enhancing the precision of its movements, reinforcing the sturdiness of the cases, improving the readability of the dials or developing new functions, the firm constantly optimizes the performances of its 100% Swiss-made “instruments for professionals.”

“The addition of Breitling reflects our goal of bringing a carefully curated collection of luxury retailers to MGM National Harbor,” said Bill Boasberg, general manager of MGM National Harbor. “The District’s wide range of offerings has made it a must-see part of our resort experience.”
Breitling will join the recently unveiled STITCHED and Ella-Rue boutiques in The District, a collection of shops that celebrates the region’s urban-chic lifestyle. It will be located directly across from SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and Specs New York.
