Breguet Classique Souscription 2025 Single Hand Watch
The Breguet Classique Souscription 2025 Single Hand Watch was released to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the brand, drawing inspiration from Abraham-Louis Breguet’s 1790s Souscription pocket watch. This modern interpretation preserves the original philosophy of simplicity, clarity, and mechanical purity. The watch begins with a white grand feu enamel dial designed to echo the historic aesthetic while offering refined modern craftsmanship.
Case and Aesthetic Details
The 40mm case uses 18K Breguet gold, an exclusive alloy combining gold, silver, copper, and palladium. Its softer hue differentiates it from traditional yellow gold and offers long-term resistance to oxidation. At only 10.8mm thick, the watch maintains a refined profile suitable for formal and casual wear. Satin-brushed casebands contrast beautifully with the polished rounded bezel and curved welded lugs. The slim crown, engraved with the Breguet logo, completes the traditional design language that defines the Classique line.
Dial Design and Single-Hand Display
The grand feu enamel dial faithfully follows the original Souscription pocket watch layout. A central blued-steel hand sweeps across handwritten serif Arabic numerals. The vintage railway minute track divides time into five-minute sections, allowing an approximate reading accuracy of ±5 minutes. At 12 o’clock, a miniature enamel Breguet logo maintains tradition, while the Breguet signature and the discreet “250” anniversary marking appear subtly at 6 o’clock. This minimalist display strengthens the identity of the Breguet Classique Souscription 2025 Single Hand Watch as an homage to historical timekeeping.
Movement: Calibre VS00
Inside the watch is the Calibre VS00 manual-winding movement, operating at 21,600 vph and offering a 96-hour power reserve through a single barrel. The movement architecture mirrors the original Souscription pocket watch, emphasizing balance and symmetry. Modern upgrades include a Nivachron non-magnetic hairspring, shock protection, sandblasted gold-plated bridges, and an engraved Souscription inscription at the center. Despite its traditional inspiration, the movement meets contemporary performance requirements.
Strap, Presentation, and Price
The watch is paired with a navy blue alligator leather strap and a classic pin buckle. It arrives in a red Moroccan leather presentation box, continuing Breguet’s tradition of luxurious packaging. The official price is 45,000 Swiss francs, positioning it as a collector-grade timepiece celebrating two and a half centuries of horological excellence.
