On the occasion of the BaselWorld 2014 trade show, Breguet has introduced a couple of new models, including the lovely Reine De Naples Princesse 8968, another of its creations that proves the brand’s constant effort for innovation, classic elegance and the quest for artistic and technical perfection.

Breguet Reine De Naples Princesse 8968 is inspired by the first wristwatch created by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat, better known as Caroline Bonaparte, the youngest sister of Napoleon and the Queen of Naples. This watch, which is immediately recognizable by its delicately shaped case, which is said to represent an ode to femininity and the origins of all life. In its contemporary iteration, Breguet’s great classic is reinterpreted in a modern manner, while preserving its essence.
As you can see on the enclosed photograph, the model is retaining its egg shape, with a case delicately curved to embrace the wrist. Its plain dial creates an illusion of depth, highlighting the curved hour markers at 12 and 6 o’clock position. The golden dial is decorated with engine-turned patterns, to create an illusion of depth and change its face as the light falls down on it in different angles. To complete an overall impression of luxury and prestige, the crown is set with an inverted diamond (approx. 0,15 ct), while the ball attachment is decorated with 16 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0,15 ct).
Breguet’s new Reine De Naples Princesse arrives in a case that is made of 18-katat rose gold. The case measures 43 x 34,95 mm in diameter, and it is water resistant to 30 meters. Its semi-silvered and semi-anthracite colored dial is also made of 18-karat engine turned gold, and individually numbered and signed by Breguet. The hands are classic Breguet-type, open-tipped, and made of red gold, while the core beats to the cadenza of Breguet caliber 591C. This self-winding movement is built on 25 jewels, fitted with a practical silicon balance spring, and it beats at a frequency of 4,0Hz. The movement is adjusted in six positions, and it runs on 38 hours of power reserve.
Breguet Reine De Naples Princesse 8968 is mounted on a leather strap with diamond-set clasp (29 brilliant-cut diamonds). Its full reference number is 8968BR/X1/986 0D0D. The same model is also available with an entirely silvered dial, referenced as 8968BR/11/986 0D0D.
