Breguet is a Swiss luxury watch, clock and jewellery manufacturer founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris in 1775. Headquartered in L’Abbaye, Switzerland, Breguet is one of the oldest surviving watchmaking brands and a pioneer of numerous watchmaking technologies, such as the tourbillon, which was developed into a practical solution by Abraham Breguet in 1801. Abraham Breguet also invented and produced the world’s first self winding watch (the Perpétuelle) in 1780, as well as the world’s first wristwatch in 1810.
