Reine de Naples — Three New Faces for Breguet's 250th Anniversary

To mark 250 years of Manufacture Breguet, the Reine de Naples collection — the Maison's only entirely feminine line — welcomes three extraordinary new pieces. All crafted in Breguet gold. All sitting at the intersection of fine watchmaking and high jewellery.

 

The collection traces its origins to 1810, when Abraham-Louis Breguet created what is believed to be the first wristwatch ever designed as such — for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. That original oblong silhouette remains the collection's defining feature to this day.

 

The new Reference 9935 — Watchmaking Refined

 

The 9935 leads the anniversary releases as the first completely feminine model unveiled for the occasion, with each piece individually engraved to mark the milestone.

Its movement has been reworked around an enlarged moon phase — achieved by removing the power-reserve indicator entirely, leaving the dial focused on hours, minutes, small seconds, and the moon alone. Six pear-shaped diamonds sit between the applied gold numerals, a first for the collection.

 

The most striking dial variant layers blue aventurine glass over Tahitian mother-of-pearl — shifting in tone and depth throughout the day. The moon is white mother-of-pearl, carrying a secret signature visible only to its owner. Two versions feature the new gold bracelet — one in white mother-of-pearl, one fully paved with 1,387 diamonds and a blue sapphire totalling 5.2 carats.

 

Crazy Flower — 436 Diamonds in Motion

 

Inspired by the frangipani, the Crazy Flower is built around movement. Handcrafted corollas paved with baguette-cut diamonds sit concentrically across the piece, moving freely with the wrist. The dial setting is deliberately inverted — point facing upward — so each stone catches light like a flower's pistil. Total: 436 diamonds, 37.2 carats, powered by the 3.9mm Calibre 586/1 with a 38-hour power reserve.

 

Perles Impériales — Pearl Meets Gold

 

The Perles Impériales is built around the Akoya pearl — Japan's finest. Thirty-eight diamonds encircle the case in heart-shaped claws. The opal dial carries 211 brilliant-cut diamonds. At 6 o'clock, a single Akoya pearl replaces the collection's signature ball attachment. The bracelet continues the story — a central row of Akoya pearls flanked by articulated Breguet gold links.

 

The same Calibre 586/1 powers the piece, with a hand-guilloché platinum oscillating weight visible through the sapphire caseback.
