Breguet
Breguet, Prestigious Clients and Global Renown
The Breguet watchmaking house is renowned for having had among its clients historical figures such as Queen Marie-Antoinette, Talleyrand (Prince of Benevento), Napoleon Bonaparte, and Empress Josephine. These exceptional personalities not only appreciated the fine craftsmanship and quality of Breguet's luxury watches but also helped spread the house's fame beyond French borders. Their loyalty allowed Breguet to establish itself as an undisputed reference in the world of luxury watchmaking.
Expertise Forged Between Switzerland and Paris
The history of Breguet begins when young Abraham-Louis Breguet, at the age of 15, begins his watchmaking apprenticeship in Les Verrières, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland, under his stepfather's guidance. His talent and desire for excellence quickly lead him to leave Switzerland to perfect his craft in Versailles and then Paris.
In 1775, Abraham-Louis Breguet opens his first workshop at 39 Quai de l’Horloge on the Île de la Cité in Paris. With the support of Abbé Marie, Breguet manages to integrate into Parisian high society and the French court. This influential network, combined with his exceptional know-how, allows Breguet to make a name for himself among the most prestigious watchmakers of his time.
A Tradition of Innovation and Luxury
The Breguet house is recognized for its commitment to horological innovation and luxury. Its watches are famous for their precision, refinement, and elegant design. Since its beginnings, Breguet has always managed to blend tradition and innovation, introducing revolutionary technologies such as the Breguet balance spring and the tourbillon, which remain references in the field of watchmaking.
