Breguet Reveil du Tsar Enamel Boutique Edition Alarm WatchThe new Breguet Reveil du Tsar Boutique Edition alarm watch with grand feu enamel offers a perfect balance of legibility and eternal elegance. Originally introduced almost eight years ago during the Baselworld 2003 trade show, the Breguet Reveil du Tsar has recently been updated with a gorgeous white Grand Feu enamel dial.While I am not the greatest fan of Breguet’s current model range, this particular watch simply takes my breath away.The milky white dial, heat-blued hands, and meticulously painted numerals produce absolutely stunning effect.Also, the watch offers an outstanding level of legibility, when a mighty torrent of information (an alarm clock sub-dial at 3 o’clock; a subsidiary second and small date aperture at 6 o’clock; a 24-hour GMT sub-dial at 9 o’clock; an alarm clock’s power reserve indicator between 10 and 11 o’clock; and, finally, an alarm on/off indicator at 12 o’clock) doesn’t drown you, but actually refreshes your mind.The alarm complication is also an example in ergonomics.As one may easily guess, it is operated with its own winding crown at 4 o’clock and a small pusher at 8 o’clock.Its own sub-dial is marked-up in Roman numerals and in different type-face, which makes it even easier to separate it from the main dial.The rest is more or less the same.The watch is supplied in the same 39 mm case and is powered by the same Breguet caliber 519F automatic movement.Built on 34 jewels and offering up to 45 hours of power reserve, the movement is beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes on its bridges and a spiral Barleycorn guilloche pattern on its 18-carat rose gold oscillating weight.As the name implies, the watch will be sold exclusively at Breguet’s own boutiques throughout the world.

Hayek, announced an exclusive partnership with the museum and national estate at Versailles. In its capacity as patron, Breguet has undertaken to finance the restoration of a large part of Queen Marie-Antoinette's royal domain at Versailles, including the Petit Trianon, theBelv��d��re and the Pavillon Fran?ais. A little history is in order...
