Breguet 3130 Instrucciones De Uso página 10

The self-winding movement of the
C watch with power-reserve
LASSIQUE
indicator reflects one of the pivotal
English
achievements of A.-L. Breguet's
career. He was the first to discover,
by means of an oscillating weight, a
system that would produce a reli-
able automatic watch. The "per-
pétuelle", as he himself called it,
remains one of the most powerful
symbols of our founder's creative
genius. Its rigorous construction
and elegance were the direct inspi-
ration for the watch that you have
selected.
