Breguet celebrates love this Valentine’s day with a limited edition Reine de Naples timepiece
The gift of time is a language of love. Breguet celebrates love this Valentine’s day with an exquisite edition of the beloved Reine de Naples that unites the art of watchmaking with fine jewellery expertise.
Limited to 28 pieces, the Reine de Naples 9915 features the art of traditional handcrafted gem-setting against the iridescent mother-of-pearl dial. Extracted from the largest diameter of the centre of nacreous shells, then polished to smooth perfection, the lustrous finish of the dial reflects the maison’s artisanal craftsmanship.
The mother-of-pearl dial perfectly complements the brilliant gems set in such a way to enhance their beauty. Diamonds followed by pink sapphires encircle the dial, creating a gradient that culminates into a heart symbol composed of rubies, between 6 and 9 o’clock. The diamond-set bezel corresponds in brilliance, while the lug features gemstones of varying sizes in a snow-setting. A cabochon-cut ruby on the crown completes the timepiece with a glorious touch.
Housed within this jewel of a timepiece is Bregeut’s self-winding calibre 537/3 in a compact diameter and platinum 950 oscillating weight hand-guillochéd with a circular barleycorn motif. The watch features a 45-hour power reserve running on a silicon balance spring and anchor that ensures enhanced precision and resistance to magnetic disturbances.
