Breguet Manufactory Celebrates the Legacy of the Tourbillon with a Series of Exceptional New Timepieces The Breguet Manufactory has long been dedicated to advancing the tourbillon, an invention by watchmaker Breguet. Remaining rooted in the original concept, Breguet continuously refines this valuable mechanism to serve its own pursuit of precision. This vision is embodied in the new timepieces unveiled here. Classique Tourbillon 7357 A Historic Invention In 1793, amid the brutal acts of the French Revolution, Breguet and his family were forced to leave their workshop on Quai de l’Horloge, leading Breguet to seek refuge in Switzerland. During his stay in Neuchâtel and then Le Locle, Breguet used this period of interruption to revisit some of his most original ideas and contemplate the future of his Maison. After returning to Paris in 1795, Breguet introduced a series of inventions that would decisively shape not only his own future but also the future of horology. These include the 'Sympathique Clock,' which synchronized a pocket watch placed atop a mantel clock; the 'Souscription Watch,' which redefined watch design codes through minimalism and which the Maison Breguet revived in 2025; and the 'Montre à tact,' a watch that allowed time to be read by touch. Abraham-Louis Breguet also developed two mechanisms: the 'Constant Force' escapement, patented in 1798, and the 'Tourbillon Regulator,' patented three years later in 1801. This year, Breguet celebrates the 225th anniversary of the tourbillon. Watercolor technical drawing of the patented Tourbillon Regulator mechanism, 1801. The Formation of a Horological Revolution The Tourbillon Regulator, or tourbillon, was conceived based on the observation that the balance and hairspring—the critical components regulating a timepiece—are affected by Earth’s gravity, causing them to vibrate unevenly. The regulating organ is thus subject to gravity’s detrimental effects. Pocket watches of Breguet’s era were typically carried in
