After the death of Abraham Brequet, his son and then grandson ran the company. After their deaths, the company continued to grow under and because of the company name and the fine quality watches that had become part of American history.

Every Brequet watch is manufactured with the elegance and fine craftsmanship known by the public to be his. Whether it's a Brequet pocketwatch, clock or wristwatch, they are made with details that only Brequet merchandise possess. The blued steel hands, known as Brequet hands, have the famous 'circle' detail with the points hollowed out like a quarter moon. The Brequet signature and individual number are at 12 o'clock to identify the watch as a genuine Brequet and not a Brequet replica watch. This secret signature also allows the watches by Brequet to be traced back through its history for years to come.

Contrary to the round and bulky cases that were common then, Brequet introduced slim flat cases made of either 14-karat yellow, white or pink gold or platinum. The dial, which is created from solid gold, consists of hand worked guilloche engraving. This also helps the Brequet watch be identifiable to the world. A Brequet used watch can possibly be traced back to it origin with the use of the engraving and signature.
