The Reine de Naples 8925 Valentine’s Day Edition 2024 by Breguet is a limited edition timepiece, with only 28 pieces available. This elegant watch is a celebration of love, featuring a white mother-of-pearl dial with subtle red accents and a flange set with 66 hand-set rubies. Its bezel is adorned with diamonds, and the crown is embellished with a cabochon-cut ruby.

The strap is made of alligator leather, enhancing the watch’s sophisticated look.

The Reine de Naples 8925 Valentine’s Day Edition is powered by the 586/1 self-winding movement, housed in a 33mm egg-shaped case. This movement comprises 180 parts, has a 38-hour power reserve, and operates at a frequency of 3 Hz. It features a silicon balance spring, known for its resistance to corrosion and magnetic fields, thus improving precision. The white gold case has a sapphire-crystal back, revealing a platinum oscillating weight with Côtes de Genève decoration.

Historically, the Reine de Naples collection is linked to Caroline Murat, Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister, who in 1810 commissioned Abraham-Louis Breguet to create the world’s first wristwatch. This historic timepiece, delivered in 1812 and documented in the Breguet archives, featured several complications and a unique bracelet made of hair and gold threads. The Reine de Naples 8925 continues this tradition of innovative and refined timekeeping.
