Time in the Breguet style
The C
LASSIQUE
watch is directly
inspired by the work of A.-L.
Breguet. It embodies the principles
with which he revolutionised watch
design: purity of form, harmony of
proportion and clarity of informa-
tion, reflecting the ordered beauty
of the movement within. Its features
are the hallmarks of the Breguet
style, from its finely-fluted caseband
to its hand-engraved “guilloché“
dial. With its strong personality,
your C
LASSIQUE
represents the ideal
face of time.
The self-winding movement of the
C
LASSIQUE
watch with power-reserve
indicator reflects one of the pivotal
achievements of A.-L. Breguet’s
career. He was the first to discover,
by means of an oscillating weight, a
system that would produce a reli-
able automatic watch. The “per-
pétuelle“, as he himself called it,
remains one of the most powerful
symbols of our founder’s creative
genius. Its rigorous construction
and elegance were the direct inspi-
ration for the watch that you have
selected.
