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, reflecting the ordered beauty of the movement within. Its features are the hallmarks of the Breguet style, from its finely fluted caseband to its hand-engraved "guilloché" dial.
