Two new feminine chapters in Breguet’s history, where watchmaking artistry and jewellery savoir-faire intertwine with grace and innovation.
To celebrate its 250th anniversary, Breguet enriches the Reine de Naples collection with two new references — 9935 and 8925 — reinterpreting the legacy of the first wristwatch in history, created by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. Inspired by that historic timepiece, these new creations reaffirm the Maison’s enduring connection to the feminine art of measuring time, combining technical mastery, delicacy, and modernity.
Reference 9935 introduces a new movement — the self-winding calibre 537L2 — and a redesigned dial offering a purer display of the hours, minutes, small seconds, and moon phases. For the first time in the Reine de Naples line, the moon-phase indication has been enlarged, dispensing with the power-reserve display to highlight the poetry of the nocturnal sky. The moon, crafted in white mother-of-pearl, appears against a blue aventurine backdrop, and conceals Breguet’s new secret signature, visible only from a certain angle.
The model is available in three dial variations: a two-level composition combining blue aventurine glass and Tahitian mother-of-pearl, a version in white mother-of-pearl, and another entirely set with diamonds. The oval case in “Breguet gold”, adorned with 109 diamonds on the bezel and flange, features a newly articulated bracelet inspired by the pearls loved by Caroline Murat. The round central lug, snow-set with 52 diamonds, extends the harmony of the case. On the back, the sapphire crystal reveals a 950-platinum oscillating weight decorated with a “Petit Trianon” guilloché motif.
The Reine de Naples 8925, meanwhile, embraces a more pared-down aesthetic and a stronger jewellery presence. Powered by the calibre 586/1, it displays only hours and minutes in a minimalist reading. The oval case in Breguet gold features a new “Quai de l’Horloge” guilloché dial, applied Arabic numerals, and a pear-cut diamond at 12 o’clock. The bezel is set with 107 diamonds, while the bracelet — also in gold — adopts for the first time the rounded geometry of the central link, likewise snow-set with diamonds.
The Reine de Naples 8925 is available in three complementary interpretations: guilloché white mother-of-pearl, sunburst-finish gold, or a combination of black guilloché gold and black aventurine glass.
