This 43mm 18-karat rose gold Classique Hora Mundi 5717 watch from Breguet is a study in elegance and sophistication. The world cities are on a lower rotating chapter ring that is visible via an aperture at 6:00. At 12 o'clock on the dial is the corresponding date indication for that city via another rotating ring beneath the dial. The self-winding 362-part movement offers an instant-jump time zone with synchronized date, day/night indication and city. The day/night is displayed via the sun/moon disk at 4 o'clock on the dial. The depiction of the map on the dial is created in gold with hand-painted oceans.

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.
