Breguet Reimagines a Classic for its 250-Year Milestone

In 2025, the House of Breguet commemorates its 250th anniversary with the unveiling of the Classique Souscription 2025 in Paris, where Abraham-Louis Breguet first revolutionised timekeeping.

This refined wristwatch pays homage to the original Souscription watch, first introduced in 1797 through an innovative advertising campaign.

The new timepiece retains the hallmark features of its predecessor: a luminous white grand feu enamel dial, a single blued steel hand, and Breguet’s distinctive Arabic numerals.

Discreet inscriptions and a secret signature are etched with precision, authenticating its origin.

The case is crafted in a newly developed Breguet gold alloy, inspired by 18th-century formulations and enriched with silver, copper and palladium for durability and elegance.

Inside, the VS00 calibre reveals a new guilloché design inspired by the curves of the Île de la Cité. This movement offers a four-day power reserve and enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetism.

Presented in a collector’s box finished in fine calf leather and gold embossing, the Souscription 2025 is a bridge between Breguet’s historic ingenuity and its continued pursuit of horological excellence.
