Breguet 2102 Tonneau - 18K Yellow Gold Silver Guilloche Dial

Details
The Art Of The Tonneau Case
Breguet is a name synonymous with traditional round cases and classical watchmaking. This piece, reference 2102, proves the maison's design codes can thrive beyond that convention. It translates the signature Breguet elements, from the hand-engraved guilloche dial to the classic Roman numerals, into a sophisticated and curved tonneau-shaped case. It is a piece that respects its origins while offering a more distinct and unconventional profile on the wrist.
Engine Turning As A Signature
The dial is the centerpiece of any Breguet, and this example is no exception. The intricate, hand-engraved guilloche pattern is a technique Abraham-Louis Breguet himself popularized back in 1786. It was originally used to reduce glare and improve legibility, but it quickly became a signature of the house's artistry. The execution here is sharp and precise, creating a texture that interacts with light in a way that printed dials simply cannot. It is a testament to an art form that very few watchmakers still practice with this level of commitment.
Honest Wear, Perfect Dial
This is a tasteful piece in good condition. The 18K yellow gold case shows signs of wear but appears to remain unpolished, preserving its original lines. The hand-finished silver-toned guilloche dial is perfect, as is the crystal. The watch is fitted to a leather strap with its original Breguet buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Discerning Collector
This watch works for the person who appreciates the highest level of classic watchmaking but wants something other than a simple round dress watch. The tonneau shape has a distinct personality, offering a bit more presence than its dimensions might suggest. It is a choice that signals a deeper understanding of horology, celebrating one of Breguet's more artistic and less common designs from the 2000s.
