To celebrate its remarkable 250-year legacy, Breguet unveils two spectacular additions to the iconic Reine de Naples collection—the Maison’s only line dedicated solely to women. These high-jewellery timepieces, the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower and Reine de Naples Perles Impériales, embody a refined fusion of watchmaking precision and sculptural beauty.

Reine de Naples Crazy Flower: A Whirl of Diamonds and Light

Drawing inspiration from the graceful frangipani bloom, the Crazy Flower is a mesmerising spectacle of movement and brilliance. Set with 436 diamonds totalling 37.2 carats, the watch features layered, oval-shaped corollas crafted in Breguet gold. Each petal, fully set with baguette-cut diamonds, moves subtly with the wrist, creating a hypnotic shimmer.

The dial employs an inverted diamond setting, with the pointed ends of each stone rising like sparkling pistils. As light reflects through this sculpted “diamond garden”, the dial glows with remarkable depth. Two signature Breguet hands sweep across the radiant surface, while the sapphire case back reveals the ultra-slim calibre 586/1 and its hand-guilloché platinum oscillating weight—a first for the brand. The watch is paired with a champagne alligator strap and a diamond-set triple folding clasp.

Reine de Naples Perles Impériales: A Homage to the Akoya Pearl

Where the Crazy Flower thrives on movement, the Perles Impériales honours the serene perfection of the Akoya pearl. Diamonds accent the case, bezel and heart-shaped claw settings, complemented by a briolette diamond crown. The opal dial shimmers beneath 211 brilliant and pear-shaped diamonds, creating an ethereal play of light.

At 6 o’clock, an Akoya pearl replaces the traditional ball lug, mirroring the watch’s gentle oval silhouette. The bracelet, crafted from 18K Breguet gold, interlaces articulated links with a central row of Akoya pearls, giving the piece a soft, fluid elegance. Behind the dial lies the same refined calibre 586/1, featuring a hand-guilloché platinum oscillating weight embellished with the Quai de l’Horloge motif.

A Tribute to Femininity and Craftsmanship

Issued as a limited edition of 250 pieces, both models are presented in rich red leather cases inspired by Breguet’s historical Moroccan leather boxes. Demonstrating the Maison’s devoted artistry, each creation marries self-winding mechanical sophistication with opulent high jewellery. With a 38-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring, inverted escapement and meticulous finishing, these pieces stand as radiant symbols of Breguet’s enduring mastery.
