BREVA, an independent Swiss watch brand, unveiled the "Segreto di Lario Meridian Gold" at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026. The Segreto di Lario is characterized by its long power reserve of approximately 168 hours, and the display of the 6-day power reserve and the last 24 hours of power reserve using two retrograde displays. The design of these retrograde hands crossing each other is also an iconic feature of this model. The new model features a gold-colored dial in a subdued tone reminiscent of an aged sextant or brass compass.

BREVA unveiled the "Segreto di Lario Meridian Gold" at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026. The design pays homage to the timekeeping instruments that once accompanied adventurers and explorers, with a dial color reminiscent of the aged appearance seen on sextants and brass compass meridian discs.
Breva is an independent Swiss watch brand known for its "Jenny 01" mechanical wristwatch with a weather forecast function. After a period of inactivity, the brand relaunched in 2025 with Julian Aney, who has extensive experience at brands such as Anonimo, Vulcan, and HYT, as CEO. Furthermore, since the winter of 2025, Office Mugino has been supporting the brand's expansion in the Japanese market.

The newly announced model features a 41mm diameter Grade 5 titanium cushion case paired with a "Meridian Gold" dial. The dial, with its subdued gold color reminiscent of an aged sextant or brass compass, has a matte, powder-gold-like texture.
The dial features hour and minute hands in the center, and a retrograde seconds display at the 12 o'clock position, inspired by a wind vane. The 7 o'clock position shows the power reserve for 6 days, and the 5 o'clock position shows the remaining 24 hours of power reserve in detail. The way these two retrograde power reserve indicators are positioned to intersect is an iconic feature of this model.
The Cal. 45N09 hand-wound movement, developed by watchmaker Jean-François Maugeon specifically for Breva, enables Segreto di Lario's unique display format and features two mainsprings, achieving a long power reserve of approximately 168 hours. It also boasts high-quality finishes such as Côtes de Genève, beveling, perlage, straight grain finish, and micro-blast finish.
