Breguet is enhanced by advanced technologies and inspired by the world of culture. The collection unveiled this year at Basel 2009 certainly adheres to these criteria.

For the first time ever, the Japanese watchmaker is launching a high-end collection on international markets, featuring two new in-house movements and its famous Spring Drive technology. Ananta is intended as a showcase for the brand's expertise.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Manufacture Christophe Claret, the master-watchmaker has created DualTow, a single-pusher planetary-gear chronograph with striking mechanism, tourbillon and a belt-type hour and minute display. Put simply, a remarkable timepiece.

Jointly created by watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and designer Eric Giroud, both eminent figures in their field, Opus 9 exists purely and simply to give the time by means of two diamond chains. Beautiful and essential.

Mention the name Cartier and it conjures up images of resplendence and magnificence. In all objects of their creation—from jewelry to perfumes and cigarette lighters — Cartier embodies exceptional quality and exclusivity.

With Une Journée à Paris, the Les Jardins "quantième de saison" models and its Midnight collections, Van Cleef & Arpels stays true to the poetic complications that have become a hallmark of the brand. Nicolas Bos, International Marketing Director, explains.
