Launched in 1996, the Hora Mundi reference 3700 in 18K white gold represents a brilliant and rather poetic juxtaposition of Breguet’s old-world charm with modern-day functionality. Where most world time watches lean towards a utilitarian aesthetic, Breguet instead dresses the complication in full regalia — coined flanks, fluted crown, and exquisitely guilloché silvered dial. At its heart, the Hora Mundi carries the DNA of Abraham-Louis Breguet himself, showcasing the maison’s signature Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and a globe-engraved central medallion, symbolizing the international travel this complication was born to serve. The rotating city ring encircles a dual-scale 24-hour indication, allowing for intuitive reading of time across the globe. But beyond practicality, the execution is where Breguet’s mastery shines: the deep engraving, the crisp font work, and the seamless case lines — all underscoring their quiet commitment to excellence. This example, preserved in great condition and accompanied by its original warranty, delivers everything a collector could desire: technical refinement, classical elegance, and an authentic connection to one of horology’s most storied names.
