Breguet precious materials
Platinum
Rare, dense and naturally white, platinum is distinguished by its discreet radiance and singular presence on the wrist. Its resistance and stability over time make it a material of choice to accompany the Maison’s most demanding creations.
A material serving fine watchmaking
More difficult to work than many other metals, platinum requires great mastery in both machining and finishing. At Breguet, it notably accompanies complex mechanisms such as the tourbillon, the perpetual calendar, the running equation of time and peripheral oscillating weights.
A material intimately linked to Breguet’s history
As early as the 1780s, Abraham-Louis Breguet took an interest in the properties of platinum. Its density, greater than that of gold, made it a particularly suitable material for the oscillating weights of his perpetual watches. He would also use it, more rarely, for the creation of watch cases.
Today, 950 platinum, composed of 95% platinum, accompanies some of Breguet’s most complex creations. Its grey-white hue, weight and understated radiance enhance both the lines of the cases and the finishes of the movements.
