In 1970, a new era began for Breguet when the visionary brothers Jacques and Pierre Chaumet took the helm of the brand with the goal of restoring it to its former glory. To achieve this, they closed the factory in France and moved production to the prestigious Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, the beating heart of high-end watchmaking. Determined to reaffirm the connection between Breguet and horological excellence, the Chaumet brothers enlisted the help of a renowned Master Watchmaker: Daniel Roth. Roth, who had already distinguished himself over seven years at Audemars Piguet, accepted the challenge, delving deeply into Breguet's archives and techniques to revive the legendary manufacture. Through passion and dedication, Breguet once again shone brightly, becoming a symbol of timeless elegance and perfection.
Few brands can match the extraordinary mechanical innovations and iconic design of Breguet. The Classique Day-Date Moon ref. 3337 encapsulates the very essence of what Breguet represents in the world of modern watchmaking. This masterpiece of classic design features a 36mm round case and a domed bezel, adorned with an elegant coin-edge motif, exuding sophistication and timeless appeal. Its slim profile, measuring just 7.3mm, fits perfectly on the wrist, blending elegance with tradition.
The silvered dial is a true work of art, hand-engraved with the brilliant Clous de Paris pattern. This solid gold, silvered dial captures light spectacularly, while Breguet's signature blued steel hands provide a captivating contrast against the silvered backdrop and white gold case, adding a touch of sophisticated color.
The true marvel of the Classique is revealed on the back. Here, the Breguet caliber 502, with its off-center winding rotor, showcases meticulous craftsmanship. This 18ct white gold movement, featuring skeletonized parts and hand decorations, represents the pinnacle of haute horlogerie. With mirror-polished screws and exquisite anglage, the caliber 502 is a masterpiece of engineering and artistry.
The Breguet Classique Day-Date Moonphase ref. 3337 is more than just a watch; it is an investment in style, tradition, and innovation.
