The Breguet Classique is a pillar not just of the Swiss manufacture but also of modern watchmaking. Simple yet brimming with finesse, the perfectly rounded case with straight lugs is the ideal canvas for Breguet. It’s a veritable showcase of everything from traditional grand feu enamel to classical engine-turning in a wealth of patterns to all manner of grand complications.
Often regarded as the quintessence of modern Breguet, this elegant piece is never without the fluted case band, pomme hands (also known as Breguetstyle hands), its unique reference number, welded lugs and a secret Breguet signature etched onto the dial that traces back to 1795. It’s practically a masterclass in haute horlogerie packed into a single – indeed, singular – timepiece.
