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. The "Classique" watch has been made to represent the ideal face of time. Abraham-Louis Breguet's historic invention, the tourbillon regulator, was patented in 1801. Two centuries later it remains a technical "tour de force" of which very few watchmakers are capable.
