"Le Réveil du Tsar"
Tsar Alexander I admired Breguet immensely, so was in his honour that in 2003 Breguet introduced "Le Réveil du Tsar" on the market. The technological masterpiece was equipped with alarm as well as second time zone functions.
In 2003, Breguet had two inventions patented which are both featured in this watch - the column-wheel mechanism which locks and activates the alarm, and a device which coordinates the alarm with local time.
