Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887

The Marine collection draws on the historical ties between A.-L. Breguet and the French Royal Navy. Following his appointment to the Bureau des Longitudes on 10 December 1814, the master watchmaker was awarded the official title of Horloger de la Marine Royale by Louis XVIII on 27 October 1815. This title was the most prestigious that a watchmaker could receive at the time, in recognition of his exceptional expertise in marine chronometry. It was a personal and unique title, an individual office held by only one watchmaker in the entire kingdom.

The Marine collection honors this heritage. The Tourbillon Équation Marchante 5887, the most complicated wristwatch in the brand’s contemporary collections, is unveiled here in a historic livery and houses a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and displays a running equation of time. Its dial is adorned with an exact, luminescent representation of the sky over Paris at midnight on 26 June 1801 – the date on which Breguet was granted his patent for the tourbillon.

This model is a limited edition of 25 pieces, with each watch capable of being personalized to display the sky corresponding to a chosen date and location.
