Maintaining some emblematic characteristics of Breguet’s production - such as the ribbed band - the present timepiece however differentiates itself from the usual style of the manufacturer due to its very clean lacquered dial - quite far away from the engraved dials Breguet usually adopts. The only graphic details are the signature at 6, discreet dot minute divisions, and the Breguet 5 minutes divisions. The hour is discreetly indicated in red through a window placed at 12 o’clock. Uniting the technical mastery required for a jump hours movement with understated and supremely elegant design, the present piece is a most attractive and unusual example from the 1990s Breguet production.
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.
