The station is opened in 1906. She paid tribute to the family Breguet (or Bréguet), whose original Swiss watchmaker Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823), who was the inventor of automatic winding watches for astronomy. His small-son Louis (1804 -1883) invented electrical appliances and radio-telegraph and collaborated with Chappe. Later, his great-grand-son Antoine (1851-1882) gave birth to a wind power. The son of the latter was the famous aviation pioneer Charles Louis Breguet (1880-1955) whose plane piloted by Costes and Bellonte crossed the Atlantic from east to west in 1930. The name of the station is also a tribute to Angelesme Saint-Sabin, who was mayor of Paris in 1777.
