Breguet
Breguet - 宝玑 - is a luxury watch manufacturer founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris, France, in 1775. The brand is one of the oldest surviving watchmaking brands and a pioneer of numerous watchmaking technologies, such as the tourbillon, which was invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet. Breguet watches are often easily recognized for their coin-edge cases, guilloché dials and blue pomme hands (often now referred to as 'Breguet hands'). In addition to watches, Breguet also manufactures writing instruments, women's jewelry, and cufflinks. Breguet has been part of the Swiss Swatch Group since 1999, and is regarded as the premier Swatch brand. Abraham Breguet invented and produced world's first wristwatch in 1810. In addition, the Breguet & Fils, Paris No. 2667 (1814) pocket watch, the most expensive Breguet timepiece at auction, ranks as one of the world's most expensive watch ever sold at auction with a final price of 4.69 million US dollars (4,339,000 CHF) in Geneva on May 14th 2012.
