Breguet Classique Watches

The exceptional Swiss watchmaking company known as Berguet was first founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. He had a passion for watchmaking from childhood and that is why he studied watchmaking for ten years under Jean-Antoine Lepine and Ferdinand Berthoud. He started his own business of creating timepieces at 51 Quai de l'Horloge in Paris. He backed up his business through the dowry from his rich father in law. It was enough to open up a workshop. Breguet's acquaintances helped him in establishing his business and taking it to the next level. Queen Marie Antoinette was absolutely astonished by Breguet's unique self winding watch. The watches that he made were worn by many famous and influential people such as Louis XVI and Axel Von Fersen.

The business soon became a huge success and Breguet's son was added as a partner. His son, Louis-Antoine took over the business after the death of Breguet in 1823. The business remained in the family till 1882. After that, a great English watchmaker Edward Brown took over the business after the great grandson of Breguet died. The Breguet business stayed in the English Brown family from 1870 to 1970. However, the ownership of the brand changed a lot during 1970s and 1980s. Today, the watches are manufactured in Nouvelle Lemania factory in Switzerland. Montres Breguet SA is the actual company that owns Breguet and sells watches under this name.
