Reine de Naples Crazy Flower
Inspired by the frangipani flower, the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower is conceived as a living bloom of light. Its white and yellow tones are echoed by 436 diamonds, fully pavé-set across the dial, bezel, caseband, and crown in a delicate mobile composition that amplifies the warmth of Breguet gold.
Breguet’s jewellery artisans have created several mobile corollas, entirely hand-crafted and pavé-set with baguette-cut diamonds. Arranged in concentric, ovoid rings that follow the signature Reine de Naples silhouette, each stone is individually set in a flexible Breguet gold structure that allows the entire composition to move.

The double curvature of these diamond corollas hugs the natural contour of the wrist. With each gesture, the structure shimmers and sways, bringing the Crazy Flower to life in fluid, graceful undulations.
At the centre lies a dial that is itself entirely pavé-set. Two Breguet hands, hand-curved to follow the dial’s profile, indicate the hours and minutes on the lower part of the dial. The hour track is traced in diamonds, while the curved surface around it features an unconventional, inverted setting: the tables of the stones are oriented downward with the points facing upward, evoking the pistils at the heart of a flower. This arrangement captures and scatters light in an unexpected way, sending each ray dancing among the diamond “pistils” and along the sculpted contours of the Breguet gold.
At 12 o’clock, a Breguet gold cartouche signs the piece, which is powered by the calibre 586/1 with a 38-hour power reserve. Just 3.9 mm thick, this movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back, revealing a hand-guilloché platinum oscillating weight adorned with a two-tone “Petit Trianon” motif – a detail appearing for the first time in this version and underlining its place in the 250th-anniversary collections.
Each Reine de Naples Crazy Flower is made to order and paired with a champagne-coloured satin-finish alligator leather strap, fitted with a triple Breguet folding clasp set with 28 diamonds. In total, the watch features 436 diamonds weighing 37.2 carats.s
Reine de Naples Perles Impériales
The Reine de Naples Perles Impériales is built around a mineral composition that celebrates the Akoya pearl, regarded as the most precious of all pearls for its perfectly round, smooth, and iridescent surface. Cultivated in Japan since the late 19th century, Akoya pearls were introduced to Europe by the Manufacture Breguet in the same century, when Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples (1782–1839), received from Abraham-Louis Breguet what is considered the first watch designed to be worn on the wrist.
In this piece, stones and shapes enter into a subtle dialogue. Diamonds cover the case middle, flange, and bezel, which is secured by heart-shaped claws forming a distinctive, intricate setting. This openwork creates a basket around the case, cradling 38 diamonds of varying sizes. Each alcove is cut, polished, flame-welded, and hand-finished in Breguet gold.
On the dial, two Breguet hands in matching gold glide over a surface set with 211 brilliant-cut diamonds and accented by a pear-shaped diamond at 12 o’clock. The time is displayed on a noble opal base. Originating from Brazil, the Akoya pearls radiate shimmering reflections in hues ranging from yellow to grey, with hints of green, pink, and blue. Four Breguet numerals and eight gold studs punctuate the hour circle.
At 6 o’clock, a perfectly spherical Akoya pearl takes the place of the signature ball lug of the Reine de Naples, echoing the ellipse of the case. Soft and tactile, it completes the bezel with its delicate mother-of-pearl sheen and leads into a unique Breguet gold bracelet whose central row is composed entirely of Akoya pearls.
Flanking this central row, two articulated Breguet gold link rows create a supple, articulated composition that plays on contrasts between pearl and gold. A second champagne-coloured satin-finish alligator leather strap is also provided.
On the reverse side, the Reine de Naples Perles Impériales reveals its sapphire case back with a hand-guilloché platinum oscillating weight decorated with the “Petit Trianon” motif, surmounted by Quai de l’Horloge guilloché. The numbered and signed calibre 586/1 offers a 38-hour power reserve, underlining the watch’s status as a true piece of Haute Horlogerie.
