These include the “perpétuelle” or self-winding watches, “pare-chute” shock protection, gong-based minute repeaters, and the tourbillon. He was an honoured master, and so influential in society during his day, he associated with European royalty, the elite in the sciences, military, and diplomats. His creativity and ingenuity he are still a vital and driving force in the modern Breguet firm today, and their Hora Mundi World-Time wristwatch is a stellar example of the technical mastery the brand strives to achieve. The Hora Mundi retains the classic aesthetic of Breguet watches, while incorporating 21st century movement and dial innovations. Released in both platinum and 18K pink gold cases like the present watch, two dial types were offered - one of Asia and the surrounding area, and the other of North America. These were made in 18K gold with guilloché decoration, and include a chapter ring with Roman numerals, oversized date aperture at 12 o’clock, and an aperture at the 6 o’clock displaying 24 world cities. The AM/PM indicator is situated at 4 o’clock, and has a lapis lazuli background. The skill and detail to create this wonderful dial is exemplary, and its movement is especially innovative. The watch is capable of keeping track of two time zones and quickly toggles between the two with the button at 8 o’clock. In addition to changing the time, the AM/PM indication and date are automatically adjusted as well. The present watch is fresh-to-the-market, consigned by the original owner, and is in immaculate condition complete with certificate and presentation box. This modern and innovative world-time watch will be a welcome addition for any collector.
