Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris in 1775, Breguet has been one of the most influential names in watchmaking ever since. He laid the foundations for many modern watch movements with the invention of the tourbillon (1801) and the Breguet balance spring. Typical features of the brand include guilloché dials, blued ‘pomme’ hands and the characteristic Breguet numerals. The collections reflect the blend of technology and aesthetics that Breguet is renowned for. The Classique line combines traditional elegance with mechanical sophistication, and the Marine collection combines sporting precision with a nautical heritage. The Tradition models feature part of the movement on the dial side, offering a contemporary interpretation of historical designs. Thus, the brand stands for a combination of innovation, craftsmanship, and classic aesthetics that has set standards for over two centuries.
