With its long and illustrious history, Breguet has undoubtedly established itself as one of the finest watchmakers. This luxurious diamond-set version of the alarm watch evinces the legendary precision and mechanical prowess that Breguet is renowned for in real life and literature - a quote from The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), 'Danglars' watch, a masterpiece by Breguet which he had rewound with care before setting out the previous day, chimed half past five in the morning'.
