These models showcase the craftsmanship that is so dear to the House of Breguet.
Each Reine de Naples 8958 is dedicated to the expression of one or more crafts. In addition to engraving and enamelling, one of the models features the art of the cameo. This technique involves engraving shells with contrasting layers of colour. The craftsman works on the inner layers, which are just a few millimetres thick, to create a delicate sculpture. Each piece is housed in an egg-shaped case, one of the key features of the Reine de Naples collection.

Bevelling
Bevelling consists in chamfering and then polishing the edges of the movement components. This finish highlights the contours of the parts, catches the light and reveals the precision of the work devoted to the smallest details.
Guilloché
Engine-turning engraves regular patterns into the material using a hand-operated lathe. At Breguet, this expertise structures the dial, catches the light and reinforces the legibility of the indications.
Perlage
Perlage consists in applying small regular overlapping circles to the movement components. This decorative finish creates a luminous texture and highlights the care devoted to surfaces that are usually only scarcely visible.
Sunburst finish
The sunburst finish is a decorative finish composed of radiating lines extending from a central point. It animates the surface through circular reflections and brings relief to components or dials.
