WHISKING MEMBERS OF the global press to Paris to unveil its new Type XX pilot’s watches, Breguet spared no effort to remind us of its intimate links with the world of aviation. Leading to the unveiling of the Type 20 Chronographe 2057 and Type XX Chronographe 2067—a duo billed as the next generation of the Type XX collection—the brand conducted a not-too-subtle museum tour to reiterate its contributions to aeronautical history.
And so, at the cavernous Paris Air and Space Museum to the north of the city, we learnt that Breguet didn’t simply make groundbreaking watches; its name was equally intertwined with French aviation. This is thanks in large part to Louis Charles Breguet, the great-great-grandson of Abraham-Louis Breguet, the brand’s legendary eponymous watchmaker. A bona fide aviation pioneer, Louis Charles left the family business and founded a French aircraft manufacturing company, Société des Ateliers d’Aviation Louis Breguet (Breguet Aviation) in 1911. (The company was sold to Dassault Aviation in 1971.)
