Retail Sales Advisor Breguet New Bond St

The company

Founded in 1775 in Paris by Abraham-Louis Breguet, Breguet is one of the oldest surviving watchmaking houses and pioneer of numerous inventions such as the tourbillon, the first automatic watch and the first wristwatch. Breguet initiated the neo-classical style in watchmaking with the introduction of guillochage and the renowned Breguet hands. His creation of a refined and legible design became the trademark of Breguet and has inspired the aesthetic and trends of many timepieces since. 

This innovative spirit captivated numerous personalities from the world elites. Napoléon Bonaparte, Marie Antoinette, King George III, Sir Winston Churchill and Rossini are some of the notable Breguet clients.
