Abraham-Louis Breguet forever transformed the art of horology with his invention of the tourbillon, conceived in 1795 and patented in 1801. Designed to counteract the effects of gravity on the escapement by mounting the balance wheel within a rotating cage, the mechanism represented a revolutionary advancement in timekeeping precision. Today, the tourbillon remains both a technical marvel and a symbol of watchmaking mastery.
Continuing the legacy of its founder, the House of Breguet upholds this spirit of innovation through the creation of exceptional timepieces. The present Reference 3757 unites the tourbillon with a suite of sophisticated complications, including a perpetual calendar, retrograde date, and leap-year indication.
The intricately hand-guilloché dial, adorned with silvered chapter rings, exemplifies Breguet’s timeless aesthetic and dedication to artisanal excellence. Representing the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship and technical ingenuity, this distinguished wristwatch would form a noteworthy addition to any refined collection.
