The spirit of maritime exploration
It took no less than four models available in titanium, white or rose gold to form the flotilla of the third-generation Marine collection by Breguet, and thereby pay tribute to its founder who was appointed watchmaker to the French Royal Navy in 1815. What a responsibility when one recalls that marine chronometers were the equivalent of our modern-day GPS trackers ! He made 80 of them during his lifetime. Above and beyond his watchmaking genius, Abraham-Louis Breguet was well aware of these phenomena, as proved by his invention of the tourbillon. The new Marine collection is distinguished by its aesthetic approach to the countless nautical references : hour-markers trapezeshaped like nautical pennants, a fluted case pattern inspired by docks, a maritime symbol on the seconds hand, a folding clasp shaped like a ship’s wheel, and even the screws ! Alongside the self-winding model and the alarm and GMT watch presented here, the 2018 vintage also includes a chronograph and a running equation of time model.
