A tribute to seafarers
The engraved inscription on the
caseback of your M
ARINE
testifies to its distinguished back-
ground. It was in 1815 that King
Louis VIII appointed A.-L. Breguet
as Horloger to the French Royal
Navy, the greatest honour to which
a watchmaker could aspire. With its
handsome reinforced case and fine
movement, your M pays homage
ARINE
to the quality and inventiveness of
our founder's exceptionally accu-
rate marine chronometers.
Time in the Breguet style
The M watch with tourbillon
ARINE
watch and chronograph salutes two of
A.-L. Breguet's most prestigious
complications.
The historic tourbillon regulator,
patented in 1801, was conceived to
compensate for errors in rate caused
by the constant changes in a watch's
position. It consists of mounting the
escapement and sprung balance in
a mobile carriage which rotates on
itself with utter regularity. Errors
are thus reproduced regularly and
cancel each other out, rather than
accumulating. Two centuries later
it remains a technical "tour de
force".
