The "Classique" watch is directly inspired by the work of Abraham-Louis Breguet. It embodies the principles with which he revolutionized watch design: purity of form, harmony of proportion and clarity of information. The blued steel hands named after Breguet and the original construction of the case also reflect refined aesthetics. From the finely fluted caseband to the hand-perfected enamel dial with secret signature in the tradition of pocket watches - every detail of a "Classique" is marked by the company's founder and bears the unmistakable seal of Breguet style.
