class="MsoNormal"Simply put, Breguet is synonymous with the art of watchmaking. Associated with several horological world-firsts, technical achievements, patents and an impressive list of patrons from royalty to writers, the 250-year-old brand continues to remain in a league of its own./p p class="MsoNormal"andnbsp;/p p class="MsoNormal"Itandrsquo;s no mean feat to hook generations of watch aficionados and collectors and nurture a legacy peppered with milestones and landmarks that makes you an institution par excellence and a tour de force. The eponymous brand started by Abraham Louis Breguet in 1755 is a true testament to this feat in the world of watchmaking. What started with a watchmaking apprentice to building his own watchmaking company in 1775 at the Quai de landrsquo;Horloge, on the banks of the River Seine near Notre Dame in Paris, to pioneering several horological firsts and technical developments, the brand Breguet, today, boasts of an impressive count of over 200 patents. Relentlessly pushing the limits of oneandrsquo;s imagination while perpetuating its watchmaking traditions and legacy, the brand continues to surprise with new models and advancements even today. Here, we seek to trace some cutting-edge innovations that have transformed the course of timekeeping./p p class="MsoNormal"andnbsp;/p p class="MsoNormal"strongArchitect Breguet/strong/p p class="MsoNormal"Widely popular for inventing the most loved and most important complication in watchmaking, the tourbillon, has not ceased to entice the watchmaking world with the myriad poetic possibilities it offers. Patented in 1801 as a landmark invention by Breguet, it has drastically improved the precision of timepieces by offsetting the detrimental effect to performance caused by gravity. The ultimate answer for significantly improved precision, it maintains the same accuracy, whatever the positionandmdash;vertical or inclinedandmdash;of the watch, and has ever since been a source of fascination, evolving with fresh feats and refinement. A classic example is the Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5377 watch, which features an offset tourbillon in a titanium carriage. It is protected by several patents and is an absolute treat for those who want to flaunt this mesmerising mechanism in a thinner watch./p p class="MsoNormal"andnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p

class="MsoNormal"Not one to rest after having improved the accuracy in timepieces, the watchmaker was also responsible for giving us the most beloved accessoryandmdash;the wristwatch. It was in 1812, when the first wristwatch for Caroline Murat, the Queen of Naples, was created at a time when pocket watches were de rigueur. What followed thereafter were timepieces that were no longer hidden, but enjoyed on the wrists for keeping track of time. The ubiquitous keyless winding crown, used for stem-winding and timesetting, was also created by the brand in a step towards modern watch winding. Yet another key achievement from the brand that we apply in our modern globetrotting life is the dual timezone function. Not compromising on precision timekeeping and technical prowess at heart, the brand invested in the research and development of new materials and technologiesandmdash;for instance, high frequency rendered possible by the use of lighter components made of silicon, and magnetism. The Manufacture sought the use of silicon, a material with antimagnetic properties, to also incorporate performance enhancing magnets inside a watch mechanism. Thus was born the Classique La Musicale 7800 watch, equipped with the first magnetic regulator eliminating the issues of wear and background noise, while consuming less energy and ensuring greater precision at heart. The Classique La Musicale 7800 timepiece is a fine example of the technical sophistication guiding the fabulous patented musical mechanism that plays its crystal clear tune either by the user pressing a push-piece positioned at 10 oandrsquo;clock, or at a given time that is pre-set by the alarm function. Furthering its research and invention, Breguetandrsquo;s efforts towards harnessing magnetism to the service of precision and reliability won the brand yet another patent for magnetic pivot, on November 9th, 2010. In 2012, Breguet showcased this surprising invention by presenting the Classique Chronomandeacute;trie, a watch featuring exceptional rating results. With these and many more, Breguet has turned haute horlogerie on its head time and again only to prove that a fine marriage of avant-garde techniques supported by traditional values is what has earned the Swiss watchmaker the one-of-a-kind pedigree it truly basks in./p p class="MsoNormal"andnbsp;/p p class="MsoNormal"strongMore On andgt;andgt; a href="http://www.luxpresso.com/watches" target="_blank"Watches/a/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p
