Breguet Manufactures
The Beating Heart of Haute Horlogerie
Since its inception in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the House of Breguet has embodied watchmaking excellence through creations of unmatched precision and elegance. At the heart of this tradition are Breguet's manufactures, located in the iconic centers of Swiss haute horlogerie: the Vallée de Joux and Le Crêt-du-Locle.
The Vallée de Joux: A Place of Tradition and Innovation
Nestled in the mountains of the Swiss Jura, the Vallée de Joux is a place where time seems to have stopped to preserve the art of traditional watchmaking. Since the 18th century, this region has been the birthplace of the greatest horological inventions, and it is here that Breguet has chosen to anchor part of its manufacturing.
The Vallée de Joux, with its majestic landscapes and harsh winters, provides an environment conducive to the concentration and precision required to create masterpieces of haute horlogerie. Every Breguet watch produced here is the result of this combination of ancestral expertise and a relentless pursuit of innovation.
Le Crêt-du-Locle: The Art of Case Crafting
Breguet’s watchmaking tradition also extends to Le Crêt-du-Locle, a region renowned for its expertise in working with precious metals. It is in this manufacture that the cases protecting Breguet’s exceptional movements are crafted. Each case is sculpted with millimeter precision, adhering to the strictest standards of haute horlogerie.
The artisans of Le Crêt-du-Locle master the arts of guilloché, engraving, and polishing, creating cases that are true jewels of craftsmanship. Their work ensures not only the beauty of Breguet watches but also their robustness and durability.
