Modern retro
Now comes another ladies’ jewel—the Lady Premier, whose elegance is simply breathtaking. The original Premier line was designed in the 1940s by Willy Breitling. With its refined details and timeless luxurious style, it quickly captured the attention of collectors, filling a gap in the brand’s portfolio for elegant watches with complications. Even then, the visionary Willy Breitling had women in mind, dedicating the Premier Fantasies Ref. 780 to them. This very model served as the vintage inspiration for this year’s Lady Premier novelties. And we must not forget Willy’s stylish wife Beatrice, his muse and creative advisor.
The Lady Premier models embody modern retro aesthetics. Their confident design leaves no doubt that their wearer walks through life with determination and grace, unafraid to enjoy it to the fullest. The three Lady Premier Automatic 36 versions, featuring dials and gradient alligator leather straps in eggplant, sage green, and dove grey, are housed in steel cases. The green and grey variants are further enhanced by diamond-set lugs and case sides. Inside beats the brand’s Caliber 10 self-winding movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve and COSC chronometer certification. The standout chocolate-brown version is crafted in red gold, adding an extra touch of warmth and sophistication.
