The Classique watch is directly inspired by the work of A.-L. 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 “guilloche” dial. Your Classique watch has been made to represent the ideal face of time. A. -L. Breguet’s historic invention, the tourbillon regulator, was patented in 1801. This device was conceived to compensate for the errors in rate caused by the constant changes in the watch’s position. It consists of mounting the escapement and sprung balance in a mobile carriage which rotates on itself with utter regularity. Errors are thus reproduced regularly and cancel each other out, rather than accumulating. Two centuries later it remains a technical “tour de force” of which very few watch-makers are capable.
