Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet, one of horology’s most famed watchmakers, Breguet is a brand rooted in classical horological excellence. With such innovations as the tourbillon, the Breguet overcoil and their eponymous ‘Breguet’ hands and even numerals among their impressive list of accolades, Breguet are widely renowned as one of the most influential and important watchmakers in the industry. With a truly remarkable history, Breguet’s timepieces often hark back to the classical period of watchmaking through a traditional aesthetic, and this Classique Chronograph ref. 3237, as its name suggests, is no different. Powered by the top-tier Lemania cal. 2310 and measuring 36mm, its perfectly round 18kt white gold case features a polished domed bezel that swoops down to the midcase where it overhangs a coin-edge texture. Matching this level of exuberant detail, the ref. 3237’s stunning silver dial also features a beautiful blend of textures with a hobnail 'clous-de-Paris' engraving in its center, concentrically-brushed chapter rings, a crosshatched pattern within its seconds subdial and small patches of concentric finish that house its black Roman numerals. An elegantly styled timepiece, the ref. 3237 is undoubtedly Breguet at their finest. The distillation of watchmaking prowess, timepieces like the ref. 3237 offers a window into Breguet's raw watchmaking talent in a package that doesn't distract the wearer with modern conveniences; instead, they shock and awe their bearer with their captivating aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship.

Vividly Breguet in just about every way possible, the Classique Chronograph is one of the famed French watchmaker's most refined and elegant timepieces, and it is hard not to see the appeal of its luxuriously understated aesthetic.
