The present quarter repeating watch incorporates several style elements also found in watches made by the celebrated Abraham Louis Breguet: the movement with pare-chute suspension, a safety device invented by Breguet to protect the pivots of the balance from damage if a watch is dropped or knocked, the dial with two different styles of engine-turning, the engine-turned case with slim bezel for full visibility of the dial.
