The elegant Reine de Naples collection was inspired by a historic bracelet that Abraham-Louis Breguet made for the Queen of Naples herself.

Aside from being the Queen of Naples in the early 19th century, Caroline Murat was a keen connoisseur of jewellery: She was especially partial to the creations of Abraham-Louis Breguet. One of the most notable watches that Breguet created for Murat was a wristwatch &mdash; a rarity in those times, made even more exceptional by its unusual, asymmetric egg shape.

That watch would serve as the basis for Breguet&#39;s Reine de Naples collection, which has just introduced a new addition: The Reine de Naples 8938.

The new model comes in two sophisticated colours &mdash; white gold with a blue bracelet, a delicate blend of colours that emphasises the ocean of diamonds on the dial, and rose gold with an orange bracelet, a noble combination that gives it the appearance of a modern heirloom.

The first thing you&#39;ll notice about the Reine de Naples 8938 is, undoubtedly, its dazzling dial. Here, Breguet uses the snow setting technique to wondrous effect: Instead of simply sticking the stones in an indistinguishable, staid row, craftsmen have patiently arranged a bevy of differently diamonds. Together, it creates the illusion that the dial&#39;s glistening diamonds were coming to life.

At 6 o&#39;clock, you&#39;ll find the off-centre hours chapter &mdash; an added bit of visual interest that highlights the dynamic look of the Reine de Naples 8938. Completing the dazzling package is the briolette-cut diamond on the crown &mdash; a style that was particularly popular during the Victorian era.

As always, Breguet pairs exceptional aesthetics with peerless technology: In the new Reine de Naples 8938, you&#39;ll find a self-winding mechanical movement and a platinum rotor at its heart, all visible through the pane at the back of the watch.
