Introducing the Breguet Reine de Naples Princesse Mini 9807 & 9808 models
In 2015, the historically inspired Reine de Naples collection welcomes two new Reine de Naples Princesse Mini models, both elegantly sized to fit the delicate ladies’ wrists. Breguet is one of the oldest surviving Swiss manufacturer of luxury timepieces, a brand that is historically associated with the European monarchy and aristocracy of the 18th century. The current Reine de Naples collection takes its aesthetic cues from an early bracelet watch A.-L. Breguet created for Bonaparte's sister Caroline, Queen of Naples. Each of the timepieces from this luxurious series stands as a symbol of feminine refinement in a contemporary jeweler watch.
On the occasion of the BaselWorld 2015 Watch and Jewelry Show, Breguet introduced Reine de Naples Princesse Mini 9807 & 9808 models, which are specifically designed for watch aficionados with slender wrists. These Mini models are measuring 32.7 x 27.3mm, and their delicate shape is directly inspired by the historical bracelet watch from 1810. The case is slender and elegantly curved, and it comes in either stainless steel or red gold. The steel model is paired with a shimmering white mother-of-pearl dial, with the hour markers rendered in a marquetry of natural white mother-of-pearl. Let me also note that such a delicate decorative pattern is extremely hard to create because of the brittle nature of the material. The version in red gold features a domed dial made of Tahitian mother-of-pearl that casts its rainbows of purple, green, and blue shimmer. Exclusive to the rose gold model is that the spherical attachment of the strap is set with diamonds while the crown is set with a briolette diamond.
Both versions of the Breguet Reine de Naples Princesse Mini are fitted with a mechanical, automatic winding movement Caliber 586/1. The mechanism is built on 9 jewels, it beats at a frequency of 3Hz, and is adjusted in six different positions. The oscillating weight of the movement, which is revealed through the sapphire case-back, is made of Platinum and hand-engraved with a guilloche pattern. The movement is fitted with a Breguet-type silicon spring, and a Swiss lever escapement. It promises up to 40 hours of power reserve, and around 30 meters of water resistance.
Breguet Reine de Naples Princesse Mini 9807 & 9808 are mounted on leather straps lined with rubber. The stainless steel version is referenced as 9808BR/5T/922 0D00, while the number 9808BR/5T/922 0D00/0D00 refers to the gold model.
