Introducing the Breguet Reine de Naples 9915
As Valentine’s Day 2025 approaches, Breguet proudly presents the enchanting Reine de Naples 9915, a timepiece that embodies love and affection.
This exquisite watch sparkles with radiant diamonds, delicate pink sapphires, and vibrant rubies, making it a perfect gift for that special someone.
Abraham-Louis Breguet, the genius behind the brand, is celebrated as one of history’s greatest watchmakers, known for winning the hearts of France’s elite and royal figures.
Among his notable patrons was Caroline Murat, the Reine de Naples, who, as Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister, cherished Breguet’s remarkable creations.
The Reine de Naples collection pays homage to the very first wristwatch designed for the Queen of Naples, featuring a distinctive oval case marked by a unique round lug and a crown positioned artfully at 4 o’clock.
This Valentine’s Day, Breguet breathes new life into this iconic collection, showcasing a stunning mother-of-pearl dial adorned with sparkling diamonds, enchanting pink sapphires, and brilliant red rubies.
Craftsmanship and Design
The high-quality mother-of-pearl reflects a mesmerizing play of colors, a result of light dancing across its surface, creating a captivating range of hues that shift with the angle of illumination.
Crafted from the inner layers of nacreous shells, this precious material undergoes meticulous polishing, enhancing its natural glow and fitting it perfectly to the watch’s oval shape.
The Reine de Naples exemplifies Breguet’s masterful craftsmanship in gem-setting.
Its elegantly sloping flange is set with 54 brilliant-cut diamonds that transition seamlessly to 18 shimmering pink sapphires near the base of the dial.
A charming heart, nestled between the 6 and 8 o’clock markers, sparkles with 23 brilliant-cut red rubies, resembling a delicate ribbon entwined around the flange.
Technical Specifications
This exquisite piece is framed within an 18k white gold case, shaped like an egg and adorned with fine fluting along the band.
With 45 hand-set brilliant-cut diamonds accentuating its contours, the case is wider at the base and gently tapers as it ascends.
A cabochon-cut ruby graces the crown, adding a vibrant touch.
Measuring 28.45mm in diameter, 36.5mm in length, and 10.4mm in height, the Reine de Naples exudes feminine elegance.
The round lug, extending over the strap, is also embellished with 52 snow-set diamonds.
At its heart lies the Breguet in-house calibre 537/3, a slim automatic movement with a robust 45-hour power reserve and a frequency of 3.5Hz.
Through the open caseback, protected by a round sapphire crystal, you can admire a beautifully crafted movement featuring a Breguet balance wheel and a platinum rotor adorned with hand-guilloché as well as a modern silicon balance spring.
