Symbols of eternal love and delicacy, mother-of-pearl and gem-setting come together in perfect harmony to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This exceptional timepiece embodies passion and refinement, showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship of the Manufacture. From the silky radiance of its dial to the brilliance of its precious stones, it pays tribute to the beauty and intensity of the bonds that unite two souls.
The Art Of The Mother-Of-Pearl Dial
For this new creation, Maison Breguet has adorned the dial with an extraordinary material; the mother-of-pearl. It is meticulously extracted from the largest diameter of the central section of nacreous shells — the only section where the surface reveals a pearl-like brilliance of exceptional intensity. It is then carefully polished to achieve a perfectly smooth finish, while preserving its natural lustre and unique iridescent reflections. This artisanal process enhances every detail of the dial, offering a refined and poetic tribute to the latest creation by Breguet.
The Art Of Traditional Handcrafted Gem-Setting
The signature detail of this timepiece lies in its exceptional gem-setting, elevating each of its elements. On the flange, sparkling diamonds encircle the mother-of-pearl dial followed by pink sapphires, carefully chosen for their hues. These tones form a harmonious gradient, culminating in a captivating heart positioned between 6 and 9 o’clock, entirely composed of rubies. The bezel, finely set with diamonds, gracefully frames this masterpiece, while the lug showcases a sumptuous snow-setting where gemstones of various sizes are juxtaposed to create a radiant, textured surface reminiscent of snowflakes glistening in the sunlight. Finally, the crown, adorned with a cabochon-cut ruby, completes this exceptional timepiece, adding a final touch of colour and sophistication. Each stone, carefully selected for its quality and brilliance, reflects Breguet’s commitment to blending the art of watchmaking with the expertise of fine jewellery.
The Movement
Housed in an 18K white gold case, the self-winding calibre 537/3 by Breguet embodies elegance and technical refinement. This horological masterpiece, featuring a compact diameter, stands out with its platinum 950 oscillating weight, delicately hand-guilloché with a circular barleycorn motif. Offering a 45-hour power reserve, it also features a silicon balance spring and anchor, ensuring enhanced precision and resistance to magnetic disturbances. Every detail of the calibre reflects Breguet’s exceptional craftsmanship, blending innovation and aesthetics to elevate the timepieces of the Reine de Naples collection.
