1997 marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Abraham-Louis Breguet, in awe of the legendary watchmaker that made major contributions to the watchmaking industry, Breguet released a limited edition Classique Regulator 1747 of 300 pieces to commemorate the anniversary. Fitted with a regulator-style dial with centred Breguet minutes hand and an offset dial for hours, the watch catches attention as an iconic presentation of the legacy of the watchmaking manufacturer. The dial is decorated with the signature Breguet silvered guilloché, by using a hand-turned rose engine, engraved with the Clous de Paris and Vieux Panier pattern, showing the decorative artistry in Breguet watches.
The 18K yellow gold coin edge case with vertical grooves and integrated lugs has developed a slight patina, bringing out the vintage impression further in such classic designed wristwatch. The caseback features the names of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s royal patrons. Encased in the solid gold case is the thin cal. 591HDT movement attached with a 22K gold rotor, which showcases the refined watchmaking skills and attention to details of the watchmaking manufacturer. This timepiece is truly a tribute to the pioneer watchmaker, a loveable timepiece for collectors that have class and appreciate heritage.
Breguet
Swiss | 1775Established 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.
