Breguet Classique 3910BB/15/286 Manual Wind Guilloche Dial 18k WG

Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet, one of horology’s most famed watchmakers, Breguet is a brand rooted in classical horological excellence. With such innovations as the tourbillon, the Breguet overcoil and their eponymous ‘Breguet’ hands and even numerals among their impressive list of accolades, Breguet are widely renowned as one of the most influential and important watchmakers in the industry. With a truly remarkable history, Breguet’s timepieces often hark back to the classical period of watchmaking through a traditional aesthetic, and this Classique ref. 3910, as its name suggests, is no different. Measuring a svelte 34.5mm, its perfectly round 18kt white gold case features a thin polished domed bezel that swoops down to the midcase where it overhangs a coin-edge texture. Matching this level of exuberant detail, the Classique’s stunning silver dial also features a beautiful blend of textures with a hobnail 'clous-de-Paris' engraving in its center, concentrically-brushed chapter rings, a wavy pattern within its seconds subdial and small patches of concentric finish that house its minute track. An elegantly styled timepiece, the Classique is undoubtedly Breguet at their finest. The distillation of watchmaking prowess, timepieces like the ref. 3910 offers a window into Breguet's raw watchmaking talent in a package that doesn't distract the wearer with modern conveniences; instead, they shock and awe their bearer with their captivating aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship. THE DIAL Unmistakable in its design, the Classique features a slew of Breguet's design landmarks with its Breguet hands and array of stunningly well-executed guilloche patterns. THE CONSTRUCTION In keeping with Bregeut's iconic design language, this Classique ref. 3910's svelte 34.5mm diameter 18kt white gold case wears like a mid-century dress watch with its thin bezel, perfectly circular profile, small crown and straight lugs.
