The part-exchange of Breguet by the Chaumet brothers and then by the financial company Investcorp galvanize the watchmaking House during a period which is favorable to evolutions.

150 years would pass before the House of Breguet revived this jewel in its collection; a third generation of the Sympathique clock appeared in the early 1990s. Around 15 were produced, with the clock’s principal innovation being an ability to wind and reset a wristwatch.
