Comprised of only the finest materials and most intricate of movements, Breguet watches move beyond the realm of timekeeping into the realm of ergonomic art.
Inordinate levels of detail go into each design, with each Breguet watch being hand-crafted by a master horologist to the highest of specifications. It is this attention to detail that has ensured Breguet remains among the top tier of watchmakers. From the intricate machinations of their tourbillons and movements to the quality of their watch straps, everything about a Breguet showcases subtle style and sophistication.
As one of the oldest watch brands in existence, Breguet is credited with many of the advancements in the field of horology that have made it was it is today. From their Breguet movements to their Breguet watch straps, every individual piece of a watch crafted in a Breguet workshop is beautifully made and exquisitely detailed.

Breguet maintenance and care tips
Breguet WATCH CLEANING
Wearing your Breguet watch naturally leads to a build-up of natural residue, but this can be remedied through gently cleaning your watch with a clean toothbrush and liquid soap. Failing to do this might lead your steel strap to oxidise and irritate the skin. This method should only be used for Breguet steel straps.
If your Breguet has a leather strap, it mustn’t get wet. Water damage on leather leads to loss of function and style. Repairs by Post can offer Breguet watch strap replacement and Breguet clasp replacement if your strap suffers damage. Repairs by Post also offer Breguet watch polishing too.
A replacement watch clasp saves you having to replace the entire strap. We use either manufacturer’s original parts or equivalents where suitable. We match the clasp to your strap, fit it, and before we return it to you, we will assess your watch to see if any other work is required, such as loose links or scratched glass.
AVOID SHOCKS TO YOUR WRIST
Shocks can cause damage to your watch and reduce its lifecycle. Always remove your watch before undertaking any sporting activity; this includes golf. The vibrations of jolting movements can damage the delicate inner components of your Breguet watch.
AVOID RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Leaving your watch open to sudden changes of temperature can lead to damage, when not being worn keep your timepiece in a cool dark place, such as a drawer. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight at temperatures above 60 degrees cause damage to the mechanism.
AVOID WATER AND DUST DAMAGE
If you Breguet is coming into contact with water, ensure the crown is fully depressed to limit the chance of water infiltration. Should your Breguet watch suffer water damage send it to Repairs by Post immediately for Breguet watch repair?
AVOID CHLORINATED AND SALTWATER
Tap water and dust can cause damage to your Breguet, but the infiltration of chlorinated or saltwater is especially dangerous. These liquids corrode the delicate intricacies of the mechanism. Always remove your Breguet watch when around these liquids as a precaution.

History of Breguet watches
1775
Abraham-Louis Breguet sets up his workshop on Quai de l’Horloge, Ile de la Cité in Paris, the city of lights.
1780
Breguet launches the first of the self-winding watches, soon to become known as “perpétuelles”, with an oscillating weight and two going-barrels.
1783
Breguet invents the gong spring for the minute repeater. The distinctive open-tipped hands known as “Breguet hands” first make an appearance alongside Breguet’s Arabic numerals for pocket watches.
1786
The first Breguet guilloché dials appear. The dials are hand-engraved on a rose engine.
1789
The creation of what is known as the “Breguet key”, a stylised ratchet key attached to Breguet pocket watches for the purpose of rewinding fusées on the move.
1790
Breguet invents the anti-shock device known as a “pare-chute”. It will take 16 years of development before it reaches its final form.
1796
Development of the first single-hand watch, known as a subscription watch.
1798
Breguet patents a design for a constant force escapement on March 9th. In the same year, he also invents the musical chronometer, a clockwork mechanism which acts as a metronome.
1801
On June 26th, Breguet gains a 10-year patent for a new type of regulator known as a “Tourbillon”. To counteract the effects of gravity on the precision of timekeeping, Breguet places the escapement in a carriage which completes a full rotation every minute. As all flaws are repeated every minute, they engage in the process of mutual compensation.
1807
Around this year, Abraham-Louis’ son Louis-Antoine comes on board as a partner in the Breguet workshop.
1810
The invention of what is widely regarded to be the first wristwatch for the Queen of Naples, Caroline, sister to Napoleon Bonaparte.
1812
The first appearance of dials with an off-centre hour ring.
1820
Invention of the observation chronometer (“montre à double secondes”), the forerunner to the modern chronograph.
1823
The world loses a genius. Abraham-Louis Breguet dies on the September 17th, leaving behind his son to run the workshop in his place.
1830
The first watch with keyless winding, achieved by an exquisitely engraved handle on top of the watch that links to the inner mechanisms.
1833
Louis-Antoine retires, passing the business to his son, Louis Clément François.
1838
Queen Vic buys a Breguet, a year after her ascension to the throne.
1882
The last of the Breguet’s to run the family business, Louis Antoine (son of Louis Clement), dies. Although he has two sons and a daughter, they do not enter the family business, so the Breguet company hires respected English watchmaker Edward Brown from Clerkenwell to run the Paris factory. He will eventually become a partner and, after Louis Antoine’s death, the head and owner of the company.
1895
With the death of Brown, his sons Edward and Henry take over the running of the company.
1939
On February 28th, Breguet obtains a patent for the sidereal timekeeper.
1972
The elaboration of several existing models gives rise to the new “Classic” line.
1988
A tourbillon wristwatch enhances the “Classic” line in tribute to the inventor and namesake of the company.
1991
Breguet patents the wristwatch utilising the perpetual equation of time.
1997
On May 15th, Breguet acquires the patent for a straight-line calendar watch movement with instant year jump.
1998
The “Marine” wristwatch line has a new addition: the world’s smallest self-winding chronograph.
1999
The newly named conglomerate Swatch Group acquires Breguet.
2001
The 200th anniversary of the tourbillon.
2003
Two patented inventions are added to the Breguet alarm watch “La Réveil du Tsar” (The Waking of the Tsar): a device to coordinate the alarm with local time and a column-wheel mechanism to lock or activate the alarm.
2004
Breguet release a self-winding tourbillon movement.
2006
The rise of silicon and all of its applications in the manufacturing of components. Because it does not react to magnetic fields, nor alter its characteristics as much due to temperature changes, its use in horology increases dramatically.
