Breguet
Since its founding in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the House of Breguet has embodied watchmaking excellence through creations of unparalleled precision and elegance. At the heart of this tradition lie Breguet’s manufacturing facilities, located in iconic centers of Swiss haute horlogerie: the Vallée de Joux and Le Crêt-du-Locle.
Today, the company is a subsidiary and flagship brand of the Swatch Group, headquartered in Biel (Switzerland).
