If you’re looking for a striking dress watch produced in the tradition of classics hundreds of years old, then you should be looking at Breguet.
Established in 1775 by perhaps the most notable watchmaker to ever walk this earth, Abraham Louis Breguet, his eponymous brand is famed for its stunning guilloché dials. When paired with a well-shaped watch case and a simple leather strap, such a timepiece transcends the era in which it was made, becoming a work of horological art.
The particular Breguet, part of the Marine collection, combines the striking dials for which the brand is known with the convenience of an automatic movement. Housed in a 30mm 18K yellow gold round case with a polished bezel, a sapphire crystal, yellow gold chronograph pushers, and a cabochon-style crown, it features a white guilloché dial with a silvered minute track, ‘Roman’ numeral indices, a blued steel ‘Breguet’ handset, and a triple-register chronograph display with a handy date window at 6 o’clock.
Powered by an automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve and paired to a brown alligator leather strap with a signed, yellow gold deployant clasp, this ladies’ chronograph is a beautiful, rarely-seen piece that deserves a place in your collection.
