Breguet's Queen of Naples 8938 features a dial covered in snow-set diamonds.

Breguet has added a new timepiece to its collection, the Reine de Naples 8938. The delicate snow setting on the dial injects light and sparkle into the Reine de Naples 8938, which is available in two models: one with a white gold strap and one with a rose gold strap and one with an orange strap.

The Queen's Radiance

　Decorating timepieces with precious stones has been a cherished watchmaking tradition for over five centuries. This decorative technique requires exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering patience. In contrast to traditional concentric setting, snow setting covers the dial with stones of different sizes, minimizing the visibility of the dial material. This results in an unparalleled brilliance.

　At Breguet, aesthetics and technology have always been closely linked, and the new Reine de Naples is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement with an escapement that includes a silicon balance spring, which is brought to life by the movement of a delicately guilloched platinum oscillating weight.

　"Queen of Naples" Collection

Breguet's creations have always captivated the hearts of many women, including famous clients such as Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France, the Marquise de Condorcet, and Empress Josephine. Caroline Murat, who was presented with the world's first wristwatch in 1812, a groundbreaking innovation at the time, was also a devoted fan of Abraham-Louis Breguet. The "Reine de Naples" model, which has a similar oval shape, is inspired by this legendary creation.
