The accompanying informational booklet notes that the 'Horloger de la Marine' engraving to the back of the case refers to the 'marine chronometers that earned A.-L. Breguet Louis XVIII's warrant of watchmaker to France's Royal Navy - the highest title a chronometer-maker could aspire to. The robust, automatic Marine watches are directly inspired by our founder's concern for elegance, precision and reliability.'
