Being punctual is a wonderful trait, and one that is easily managed via the Breguest Marine Hora Mundi, a magnificent piece of wrist art. A total of 384 components, including a gold Breguet balance wheel and a 40-jewel automatic movement with a 55-hour power reserve, reside within the generously-sized 43.9 mm round white gold casing, beneath a blue dial bearing a majestic hand-engraved map of the globe accented with hand-guilloćhe waves, Roman numerals and a moon-phase sub-dial. A sapphire caseback provides an excellent view of the movement in action. The pusher at 8 o’clock allows a second time zone to be displayed on the dial; selected from a customizable rotating list of cities at 6 o’clock; and the date displayed at 12 o’clock. While you most likely would not use it as a dive watch, you could as it’s water-resistant to 100 meters, thanks to a screw-locking crown; Breguet.com.
