Breguet is a manufacturer of luxury watches and jewelry founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris, France, in 1775. Since 1999, it has been a subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch Group. Headquartered in L'Abbaye, Switzerland, Breguet is one of the oldest surviving watch brands and a pioneer of many watchmaking technologies, such as the tourbillon and the balance spring, which are recognized and adopted by watchmakers worldwide. They even produced the world's first self-winding watch in 1780.
The Timepiece Purveyor to the King
Breguet might not have been able to create so many world-class horological masterpieces without the patronage of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I of France. Due to his immense love for watches and Breguet's own craftsmanship, the Emperor commissioned and owned numerous pieces. This served as the genesis for one of the icons of horology: the Reine de Naples, the world's first ladies' wristwatch created in 1810, now known as the Queen of Naples. Its basic design was that of a very small pocket watch, designed to be worn on the wrist for convenience. Breguet spent about two years crafting it, delivering it to the Queen of Naples—Napoleon's sister—in 1812. It was returned for maintenance twice, in 1849 and 1855, before this world's first wristwatch vanished without a trace.
The Essence of a Visionary and Creative Force
Breguet not only invented the tourbillon—the world's most sophisticated mechanism for ensuring accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity on a watch's movement—but few realize that his descendants inherited his genius as a master thinker and inventor. Antoine, Breguet's son, was the first to introduce the telephone to France after its adoption in America. Louis Breguet was involved in the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the country's number one landmark, with his name engraved alongside other collaborators on the structure. He was even involved in the design of early helicopters, then known as "Gyroplanes." Given this legacy of innovation, it is no surprise that timepieces from this historic brand remain at the forefront of the horological world, cherished by enthusiasts who continue to trust in their peerless craftsmanship and design to this day.
