There are innumerable firsts that can be attributed to the House of Breguet and its illustrious founder and probably one of the most outstanding of them is giving time a sound of its own
Taken in absolute isolation, a fine watch would stand as a representation of the watchmaker’s skill as a master of technology. Someone who utilised the cutting-edge scientific know-how at his or her disposal to create an instrument that drew accolades because of its superior ability to tell time. However, as we all know, a great watch is much more than pieces of machinery working together in perfect harmony. It is the culmination point of the best of technology and unmatched aesthetics which imbues it with an appeal that transcends time itself.
Abraham-Louis Breguet understood this well and that is why every single piece which bears his name is an abiding story of ground-breaking technological innovation and elegance which is nothing short of eternal. But A-L Breguet goes even further. He gave time a hitherto unknown dimension-he made time musical.
As horology progressed to explore newer areas, watchmakers began equipping their creations with the ability to count out time audibly. Some utilised bells to achieve this, which was bulky and cumbersome while others deployed tiny hammers to tap on the case back to tell time. Needless to say, the results were far from pleasant to the ear.
