Inspired by the historic “No. 1176” pocket watch (1802-09), this timepiece brings high-chronometry into a modern wristwatch: a 10 Hz escapement paired with a magnetic-pivot balance system elevates performance to extraordinary levels. Encased in 18K Breguet gold, the 41 mm round case features the signature “Quai de l’Horloge” guilloché motif on the dial, case-band and inter-horn space. On the dial are two subsidiary seconds counters at 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock—the left one functioning as a resettable “observation” seconds for split timing.

Visible through the sapphire case-back is calibre 74SC, manual-winding, beating at 72,000 vph (10 Hz), delivering a 60-hour power reserve and certified accuracy of ±1 second per day. The magnetic pivot system transforms magnetism from foe to asset, maintaining balance-staff stability and enhancing chronometric performance. The Classique 7225 is an emblem of technical mastery and heritage—where the spirit of Abraham-Louis Breguet meets 21st-century precision.
