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 revolu tionized 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 C
LASSIQUE
model with off-centred
hour chapter ring is inspired by a
pocket watch made in 1829. The dial
design is remarkable for the daring
and elegant disposition of the hour
chapter ring, calendar and moon-
phases. A.-L. Breguet created his first
off-centred or eccentric dials in about
1812, thus introducing a major styl-
istic invention. With these highly orig-
inal dials, always in exquisite taste,
he found the culmination of his quest
for aesthetic perfection.
