Paul Breguette was a watch brand created by the well-known Swiss watchmaker Ebel for the North American market. The brand was active for several decades, beginning in the 1930s. 

Brand origin and history

  •  The Paul Breguette brand was first introduced in 1935 by Ebel, a respected Swiss watch manufacturer. Another source dates the introduction to 1929.  It was designed specifically to serve as Ebel's market brand in North America.  Watches under the Paul Breguette name were often high-quality timepieces. Some featured well-regarded, complicated movements, including those based on the A. Schild calibre.  It is not clear exactly when the Paul Breguette brand was discontinued. However, it is believed to have been retired when Ebel began to market its own name in the United States and Canada. 

The name "Breguette"

The name choice was likely a strategic one for marketing in the American market. It bears a resemblance to the prestigious Breguet brand, one of the oldest and most respected names in horology, though Paul Breguette was not affiliated with it. This was a common practice among watchmakers at the time, but Paul Breguette was a legitimate subsidiary brand of Ebel.
