This Swiss watch brand has a long history with aviation, and now unveils its fourth generation of Type XX pilot's watches. Equipped with a new caliber (caliber 728) that was four years in the making and that holds at least one patent so far, the watch boasts 5 Hz frequency, a silicon balance spring and escape wheel, and is resistant to magnetic fields. The 42mm stainless steel chronograph offers a flyback function to enable return to start without having to stop the chronograph.

With roots in jewelry as well as watches, it is no surprise that the beauty evident in Breguet's pendants, earrings and necklaces has found its way to its timepieces. Adorned in jewels, the delicacy of these timepieces is mirrored by intricate mechanism. Fragility is only a façade, however, as durability distinguishes these diamond encrusted clockworks. Wearing a Breguet isn't solely practical, but for the expressive.The Crazy collection is a prime example of Breguet's command of passion. Notable within this is the Be Crazy wristwatch made with 18-carat white gold. Set in staggered rows with 56 baguette diamonds, the timepiece expands to suggest a floral opening, a field of bamboo or a lattice of illusion. Similarly striking, the L'Orangie wristwatch elevates the effective simplicity of a daisy chain to a bangle bedazzled by diamond flowers. Encased in 18-carat yellow gold, spessartine garnets, rubies, pink tourmalines and yellow sapphires pave pretty petals. Operation rival's opulence as the timepiece further features self-winding movement.
