A Dial of Pearlescent Dreams
The heart of the Reine de Naples 9915 lies in its breathtaking mother-of-pearl dial. Breguet's artisans selected only the most lustrous sections of nacreous shells, meticulously extracting the largest diameter from the central part to ensure a pearl-like brilliance of exceptional intensity. The mother-of-pearl was then painstakingly polished to achieve a perfectly smooth surface while preserving its natural shimmer and iridescent reflections. The result is a dial that radiates a soft, captivating light, a poetic tribute to the beauty and delicacy of love.
A Symphony of Gems
Breguet's mastery of gem-setting shines in the Reine de Naples 9915. While diamonds and pink sapphires encircle the luminous mother-of-pearl dial, the eye is drawn to the pièce de résistance: a captivating heart of vibrant rubies nestled between 6 and 9 o'clock. Diamond-set bezels frame this masterpiece, while the lugs showcase a snow setting, where diamonds of varying sizes create a textured, radiant surface reminiscent of glistening snowflakes. A cabochon-cut ruby graces the crown, and each gemstone, carefully chosen for its exceptional quality and brilliance, reflects Breguet's unwavering dedication to the art of fine jewellery.
At The Heart: The 537/3 Calibre
Beneath the exquisite exterior of the Reine de Naples 9915 beats the self-winding calibre 537/3. This compact movement, a marvel of horological engineering, features a platinum 950 oscillating weight, delicately hand-guilloché with a circular barleycorn motif. A 45-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring, and anchor ensure both precision and resistance to magnetic fields. This movement, a testament to Breguet's dedication to innovation and aesthetic beauty, perfectly complements the artistry of the Reine de Naples collection.
More than just a watch, the Reine de Naples 9915 is a symbol of love, a testament to artistry, and a celebration of Breguet's unparalleled craftsmanship. Limited to just 28 pieces, this Valentine's Day creation is a truly exclusive treasure, destined to become a cherished heirloom.
