The House of Breguet served 19th century maritime exploration and navigation through its chronometers used to calculate ship positions. The precision and reliability earned founder Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) the title of Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy in 1815.
In the next century, the company took to the sky with Breguet instruments used for airborne navigation and its chronograph strapped to pilot's wrist.
