Breguet
The name of Breguet, one of the highest possible references among watchmaking craftsmen, is part of our cultural heritage. This unique positioning dates back to Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) and his unique, innovative creativity, which his successors still uphold to this day with great dedication and devotion. Abraham-Louis Breguet was responsible for many pioneering discoveries. Here are just two of the milestones in horological history: In 1780, the young Breguet improved the automatic movement and since then has been regarded as the father of modern-day watchmaking. The Tourbillon rotating dolly, invented by Breguet around 1795 and patented in 1801, eliminated the effect of gravity on the precision of clocks and is still used in exclusive timepieces today.
The trademarks of Breguet watches are their blued steel hands with tips in the form of a hollowed-out apple and the fine guilloching of the face.
