Breguet: the watches loved by the queens

Breguet: the watches loved by the queens

A 243 year history that has won over sovereigns, intellectuals and customers all over the world. A journey made of inventions and intuitions: from the automatic charge to the sound springs, from the perpetual calendar to the double seconds. The Swiss company Breguet since 1775 produces watches that are not only refined products, but testimonies of a tradition that knows how to renew itself and improve itself.

The story goes that Queen Marie Antoinette had a real passion for these watches. According to the stories of the time the sovereign bought several copies, including a perpetual one equipped with an automatic winding device.

There was also Queen Murat, sister of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, among the most demanding customers. It was she who asked for the construction of a watch that was for the first time possible to wear on the wrist instead of pocket or neck. Today the "Reine de Naples" has been redesigned creating a perfect harmony between technique and aesthetics: the watch, in fact, is not only full of charm, but contains technical complications of the first order, even considering the available spaces. On Boite d'Or shop there is a sample unmissable on sale.

But in the collection there is another "jewel" of precision: the Breguet 10 HTZ. Increasing the oscillator frequency improves the running accuracy and stability of the watch. Come and discover it at Boite d'Or in Cuneo's shop or visit the online shop: www.shop.boitedor.com.
