Breguet Classique Grande Watch

Breguet honors the noble and technically challenging repeater mechanism with the Classique Grande Complication 7639. At the same time, it also references founder Abraham-Louis Breguet’s own penchant for creating timepieces for royalty, which is very pertinent when it comes to repeaters given that only the wealthiest of the noble classes commissioned them.

You cannot hear the sound here of course but Breguet has actually made its own adjustments to the standard positions for gongs, gong holders and hammers, even going so far as to patent-protect these innovations.

What you can see though are the 392 princess-cut diamonds set in a Clou de Paris pattern on the dial. Take note also of the baguette-cut diamonds set around the 18k white gold case and the intricate engravings on the back of the hand-wound movement.
