    • Breguet

    Breguet is a Swiss luxury watch and was founded in 1775. Today, Breguet is owned by the Swatch Group (Blancpain, Harry Winston, Omega, Longines, Swatch) and is one of the most historical manufacturers. Breguet has been credited with numerous inventions, such as the 1810 Breguet wrist watch as the world’s first such product, and Abraham-Louis Breguet’s invention of the tourbillon.

    The Breguet hands are the blue pomme hands only found on Breguet watches. Many celebrities, sports stars and explorers favor Breguet watches over other brands. Notably features of a Breguet watch are coin-edge case, guilloché dial and sometimes the most difficult complications of watchmaking.
