Special Features

Many of the most important advancements in watchmaking originated from the house of Breguet.

Among the company's special features:

• Breguet launched the first self-winding watches known as "perpetuelles" in 1780, invented the gong spring in 1783, and the perpetual calendar in 1785.
• The company has patented a movement with equation of time and calendar, both functions as perpetual and automatically self-correcting over a period of more than a century.
• The Tact Watch was invented to allow the wearer to tell time by touch. This "watch for the blind" was sold from 1799 and was typically limited to non-striking styles.
• Breguet patented the regulating device known as a tourbillon in 1801.
