Someone has been good this year – Leicester jeweller sells £395,000 watch!

Handmade in platinum, the Hora Mundi case is encrusted with over 20 carats of diamonds and is described as a collector’s dream. The Swiss ‘complication’ movement is the first in the world to have an instant-jump time zone display system, which allows the watch to display the time in two time zones at the push of a button.

Lumbers is one of only four Breguet retailers in the UK, and its managing director Dominic Gomersall remarked: “We are proud to sell such an important watch. The same collector purchased a tourbillion earlier in the year and his collection of Breguets is quite remarkable. It is lovely to deal with a collector who understands the importance and quality of this historic brand.”
