Founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris, Breguet is one of the oldest and most influential watchmakers in history. Known for inventing the tourbillon, the Breguet balance spring, and the first wristwatch, the brand was favored by figures like Marie Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Winston Churchill. Its elegant aesthetic—marked by guilloché dials, blued Breguet hands, and coin-edge cases—set enduring standards in horology. Now part of the Swatch Group, Breguet continues to blend technical innovation with neoclassical design, preserving its legacy as a pioneer of haute horlogerie.
