Breguet is a brand of Swatch Group, which was founded in 1775 and has a history of 240 years. Since the18th century, the Breguet brand has been committed to providing works and services for members of the royal family and outstanding figures in various fields. In the industry, Breguet has the title of "King of Watches" and the reputation of "Father of Modern Watchmaking". Because Breguet invented more than 70% of the technology in the industry, its three most representative inventions with complex functions are tourbillon, perpetual calendar and minute repeater.
At least two technologies, inventions, patents and devices of any brand of mechanical watch in the world, whether it is manually wound or automatically wound, come from Breguet. If you take away the part that belongs to Breguet, all the watches will not work properly. Every mechanical watch has the shadow of Breguet, so Breguet is the purest brand of senior watchmakers.
Breguet style
1, Independence Number: Watch fans all over the world agree that every Breguet timepiece contains extraordinary watchmaking techniques, which can be passed down to future generations. Since the establishment of Breguet, each timepiece has an independent production number, so that collectors can determine its orthodoxy and origin. This fine tradition has been continued, and each Breguet watch is accompanied by a unique production number, which witnessed the watchmaking skills and painstaking efforts handed down from generation to generation by the brand.
2. Invisible signature: The success of Breguet watches makes it the target of counterfeiters. 1795, in order to crack down on imitation activities, Breguet conceived a countermeasure: invisible signature. Etching a hidden signature on the dial will only appear when the light shines at an oblique angle. Today, this invisible signature is still a sign to distinguish the authenticity of Breguet watches, and it is also the exclusive feature of most Breguet watches.
3. Breguet digital time stamp: The unique digital time stamp designed by Abraham-Louis Breguet can still be seen in some Breguet watches. Although he is not a calligrapher, the Arabic numerals he designed are elegant and practical, which shows his amazing talent. Digital timers appeared before the French Revolution. At that time, in addition to the digital timepiece, the dial also had a small star minute scale and a lovely lily five-minute scale. At 1790, it developed into the style we see today.
