With Breguet combined Certificate of Origin and Guarantee dated June 2006 and instructions manual.
In 1813 Parisian watchmaker Breguet originally made a complicated pocket watch for Tsar Alexander of Russia - it included a pedometre for measuring his army's marching cadence. At the 2003 Basel World, the company launched a complicated wristwatch based on the original watch. The new version includes a miniature alarm, multiple retrograde hands (hands that return to zero when they reach the end of the dial) and a second time zone indication. With its austere design, the "Réveil du Tsar" beautifully combines elegance and complication.
