Types of Breguet pocket watches
There are many different types of pocket watch that Breguet offers. Some of the easiest ways to distinguish between different types of pocket watch are through their style of closure, which include Open Face, Full Hunter, and Half Hunter.
The Open Face style of pocket watch has no protective cover to protect the dial. Open face pocket watches must be handled with care as they can scratch easily and can suffer from damage. Open face watches are generally cheaper as they require less expensive metal in the manufacturing process.
Full Hunter pocket watches have a decorative cover that protects the dial of the watch. This means that in order to see the time, you must open the casing. Having a cover helps to protect the watch and the dial. This style of watch is often elaborate and beautifully decorated with intricate designs.
Finally, a Half Hunter pocket watch is less common among Breguet designs. Half Hunter still maintains a protective cover, but it is made out of glass or crystal so that the time can be read without opening the case.
