Founded by Vincent Dupontreué.

Breva was conceived by Vincent Dupontreué during a weekend on Lake Como, taking its name from La Breva, the lake's warm southern wind.
The Story

Chapters of Breva Genève

I

The Génie 01 was presented as the first mechanical wristwatch with an altimeter and barometer, a weather station for the wrist.

II

Its barometer relies on an aneroid drum that breathes with air pressure, while an airlock crown balances pressure inside the case.

III

The Génie 02 followed as a mechanical altimeter, its calibrated aneroid capsules reading altitudes up to around 5,000 metres.

IV

The Génie 03 Speedmeter raises a patented miniature anemometer from its case and is driven by the first in house Breva movement.

The Signature

The Génie weather station watch

Clouds roll in and the barometer needle swings to forecast the weather.
