Catalogue Essay
The present watch features a finely engine-turned regulator dial and blued steel hands that captures the classical Breguet look. The hour is gracefully displayed on the polished chapter ring at 12 o’clock and the watch is further enhanced with an aperture for the date at 6 o’clock. The present watch, encased in platinum, is a very fine example that embodies Breguet’s ideals of precision and elegant lines.
Breguet
Swiss | 1775 Established in 1775 by Abraham Louis Breguet, widely considered the greatest watchmaker of all time, the storied brand continues to thrive in the modern era, creating exceptional high-end watches as the Swatch Group's premier prestige brand. Some of the most important and lasting inventions in watchmaking are attributed to Abraham Louis Breguet, including the tourbillon, shock resistance and the use of hammers and gongs employed in nearly all minute repeating watches made since.
Eighteenth and nineteenth century Breguet pocketwatches are especially sought-after by collectors, and many of them were made for the elite of European society, including Napoléon and Marie Antoinette. Key wristwatches from the twentieth century include oversized dress watches, two-register chronographs, triple calendars and Type XX aviator's chronographs made for the French military and civilians.
