In the early 1990s, six sets of six automatic pocket watches were produced by Breguet, each with a guilloché dial, sapphire display case back, and a pendulum automatic movement with platinum hammer-shaped rotor. Complications such as jump hour display, equation of time, and thermometer – among others – were incorporated, along with the present world-time pocket watch.

Breguet was managed by Bahrain-based financial company Investcorp in the late 1980s and early 1990s, overseeing the acquisition of Nouvelle Lémania. During this period, they employed watchmaker Michel Parmigiani to create pieces, such as an ultra-thin perpetual movement and automatic pocket watch caliber. The latter, caliber 570, would be integrated into the present timepiece.

The famed “Souscription” sets of the same time period also incorporate this automatic movement; however, the present watch was not made to be paired with a wristwatch. It is a masterful display of the best of Breguet with the delicate engine-turned dial, a beautifully finished movement visible through a sapphire case, and accompanied by a heavy and ornate brass stand.

Consigned by an important collector of independent timepieces, the present watch furthermore comes with a Certificate from the Archives of Breguet, detailing its production in 1995, right before Parmigiani set off to create his eponymous brand.

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.
