Swatch Group is a diversified multinational holding company active in the manufacture and sale of finished watches, jewelry, watch movements and components. It is the world’s largest watchmaking group, and supplies nearly all the components required for the watches sold by its eighteen individual brands and the multi-brand retail companies Tourbillon and Hour Passion.

In 2014, the exceptional patronage project amounting to several million Euros launched by Nicolas G. Hayek in 2009 reached completion under the watchful eye of his grandson, Marc A. Hayek. Undertaken at the beginning of the 1980s, the last stage of the work at the Grand Louvre consisted in renovating the rooms housing all the 18th century art collections.

As part of its contribution to the preservation of Europe’s historical and cultural heritage, Breguet provided concrete support to the palace of Versailles, bringing back to life an estate that once belonged to one of Breguet’s most ardent admirers.

To bolster the centuries-old ties between Breguet and aerospace, the Manufacture initiated in 2014 a partnership with the Military Aviation Museum in Payerne (Switzerland).

In line with its long-standing tradition of patronage of art and culture preservation, Breguet embarked on a partnership in 2016 with the Teatro Dell’Opera of Rome, one of the most prestigious opera houses in Italy. Founded in 1880, the Teatro Dell’Opera has showcased both exceptional classical music concerts and ballet performances featuring internationally acclaimed artists.

In 2013, Breguet gave its support to the Fondazione Bagatti Valsecchi, a stunning example of a historic house museum that is one of Europe’s most important and best preserved.

In 2014, Breguet celebrated its partnership with the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums and announced a year-long project at the museum of the largest collection of Breguet antique watches ever to be shown in the Americas. The grand opening of this historic exhibition is slated for September 2015.

Beginning with the Hall’s 2012–2013 season, this partnership reflects Breguet’s long-standing commitment to arts and culture around the globe, and provides valued support to Carnegie Hall’s wide range of artistic and educational initiatives.

In line with its philosophy, the brand remained in the cultural limelight taking part in some of the world's greatest classical artistic event. Among them, a partnership with the Great Mountains International Music Festival & School, one of the most expected summer events in Korea.

From 2013 to 2014, Breguet continued its legacy of arts and culture preservation with major support of The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.

Since 2002, Breguet has supported the mission of the Geneva International Music Competition (Concours de Genève). This unique partnership exemplifies the meeting of two worlds, Haute Horlogerie and Music, both dedicated to beauty and driven by inspiration.

In 2013, the famous watchmaking Manufacture Breguet joined the Theatre of Nations in Moscow to become its official sponsor. Together, Breguet and the Theatre of Nations support arts and culture and allow the public to discover unconventional adaptations of works by the greatest writers and poets.

Since its inception in 2005, Breguet has taken part in Only Watch, a major international charity project sponsored by the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies that takes place under the high patronage of H.R.H. Prince Albert II.
