Breguet Wows Watchmaking Industry with Newly Revamped Classique 7225 Celebrating 250 Years of Excellence

While nearing its 250th Anniversary, esteemed watch brand Breguet has been accelerating in leaps and bounds, generating animated excitement within industry circles. Breguet has reintroduced its trailblazing 10Hz movement in the newly renovated Classique 7225 watch, a feat that remains a spectacle in the watchmaking world, even 15 years after Breguet’s first magnetic balance movement.

Taking inspiration from a pocket watch that is proudly displayed in the Breguet Museum in Paris, the design of the Classique 7225 is deeply rooted in tradition. The original pocket watch was one of four first watches equipped with a four-minute tourbillon, and holds the distinction of being the fifth tourbillon watch ever sold by Breguet. It exhibits a constant-force escapement using a fusée-and-chain mechanism.

In another nod to its prestigious past, in 2025 Breguet enjoyed a crowning moment by winning the top-prize ‘Aiguille d’Or’ Grand Prix at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for the Classique Souscription 2025. This triumph marked a high point in Breguet’s 250th anniversary year, validating its longstanding commitment to innovation and premium watchmaking.
