Introducing The Breguet Reine De Naples 8918 In Grand Feu Enamel

The Queen Of Naples watch is very solidly grounded in traditional notions of what constitutes a ladies' watch and what constitutes an expression of femininity in general, which is something that can be seen, nowadays, as slightly reactionary I think there is certainly still room for such a notion in watchmaking For all that, it is also true that gendering a watch in a way that restricts anyone from wearing it seems inadvisable today more than ever.

That said, I have always found the Reine de Naples an extremely successful example of the genre, especially inasmuch as it has assumed its identity as a traditional, elegant ladies' dress watch from the outset. . Source
