The present Breguet Classique ref. 1775 was introduced in 2000 to commemorate the 225th anniversary of Breguet. Encased in a classic 36mm diameter case with fausses côtes decoration on the bands, it is simply iconic. Under the crystal lies a beautiful white enamel dial with its household painted Breguet numerals featuring an invisible “Breguet” signature engraved subtly on the 12 O’clock position noticeable with a loupe.
The present example is one of 225 pieces made as an unnumbered limited edition.
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.
