Breguet recently introduced two new, lavishly adorned wristwatches from its coveted Reine de Naples line. These two silhouettes are released in conjunction with the brand's 250-year milestone.
The new additions to the Reine de Naples line are named Crazy Flower and Perles Impériales. These high-end jewelry creations effortlessly merge intricate watchmaking with exceptional gem-setting artistry. The Crazy Flower design is noted for its kinetic structure, where individually placed diamonds are mounted on a flexible gold framework intended to sway with the wearer's motion. Its design draws inspiration from the frangipani flower. The Perles Impériales model, on the other hand, is centered around a cultivated Japanese pearl, surrounded by a complex lattice of precious metal set with numerous diamonds.
The Reine de Naples collection is presented as a contemporary homage to "the first watch designed to be worn on the wrist, created by A.-L. Breguet for Caroline Murat."
