Breguet watches are highly respected for their exquisite craftsmanship and noble quality.
Breguet is a brand of the Swatch Group. It was founded in 1775 and has a history of 240 years. Since the 18th century, the Breguet brand has been committed to providing works and services to members of the royal family and outstanding figures in various fields. Breguet is known as the "King of Watches" in the industry, and is also known as the "Father of Modern Watchmaking". Because Breguet invented more than 70% of the industry's technologies, its three most representative inventions of complex functions are the tourbillon, perpetual calendar and minute repeater gongs.
In any brand of mechanical watch in the world, whether it is manual winding or automatic winding, at least two technologies, inventions, patents, and devices come from Breguet. If you take away the parts that belong to Breguet, no watch will function properly. Every mechanical watch has the shadow of Breguet, so Breguet is the purest high-end watchmaker brand.
Breguet style
1. Independent numbering: Watch fans from all over the world agree that each Breguet timepiece contains extraordinary watchmaking craftsmanship and can be passed down to future generations. Since Breguet was founded, each timepiece has been equipped with an independent production number, allowing collectors to determine its authenticity and provenance. This fine tradition has continued, and each Breguet watch is equipped with a unique production number, witnessing the brand's watchmaking skills and efforts passed down from generation to generation.
2. Invisible signature: The success of Breguet watches makes it a target for counterfeiters. In 1795, Breguet conceived a countermeasure to combat counterfeiting activities: invisible signatures. Etching a discreet signature on the dial that only appears when light hits it at an angle. To this day, this invisible signature is still a mark of authenticity of Breguet watches and is also a unique feature of most Breguet watch dials.
3. Breguet numerals: The unique numerals designed by Abraham-Louis Breguet can still be seen on some Breguet models. Although he was not a calligrapher, the Arabic numerals he designed were elegant and practical, demonstrating his amazing talent. Digital hour markers appeared before the French Revolution. At that time, in addition to digital hour markers, the dial also had a small star minute scale and a lovely lily five-minute scale. By 1790, it developed into the style seen today.
