Time in the Breguet style
The C
watch is directly
L A S S I Q U E
inspired by the work of A.-Louis
Breguet. It embodies the principles
with which he revolutionised watch
design: purity of form, harmony of
proportion and clarity of informa-
tion, reflecting the ordered beauty
of the movement within. Its features
are the hallmarks of the Breguet
style, from its finely-fluted caseband
to its hand-engraved "g u i l l o c h é"
dial. With its strong personality,
your C
represents the ideal
L A S S I Q U E
face of time.
The indication of the equation
of time was a subject of particul a r
interest to all the great w a t c h -
makers. The term refers to the dif-
ference between mean solar time –
our civil time based on a conven-
tional twenty-four hour period –
and true solar time, which varies
with the earth's irregular orbit
round the sun. The two times match
precisely only four days a year.
Building on our founder's sophistic-
ated equation of time watches, your
watch takes his achievements even
f u r t h e r. Its patented movement, with
its complex perpetual mechanism,
symbolises our firm's passion for
i n n o v a t i o n .
