The name Breguet is a legend in the field of precision watchmaking. Its prestige is due to an exceptional figure, Abraham-Louis Breguet, who was born in 1747 in Neuchâtel and moved to Paris in 1775. This outstanding inventor and technician was also a skilled entrepreneur, and the creator of an exclusive style that became famous throughout Europe.
