Our David Bredan lately visited Breguet’s manufacture in Switzerland and reports on the remarkable area full of “turning engines” which produces these dials. They are operated by hand and need delicate finesse and years of training to get the effect right. You can observe a blend of techniques and patterns on the dial of this […]
The back of this watch shows a view of the movement of the foundation plate that has some magnificent engravings of the night sky complete with all the ground. The image makes it look like our world sits right alongside some type of nebula made up of watch equipment. Breguet can create that back plate […]
Called a “Grande Complication” by Breguet because of the double tourbillons and “orbital” dial, the 5349 is really the larger brother of this Breguet Double Tourbillon 5347 which is a few millimeters smaller in diameter. Having a hugely sized case in solid 950 platinum, over 30 carats of diamonds, and a showy, complex movement, this […]
Our David Bredan lately visited Breguet’s fabrication in Switzerland and reports on the remarkable area full of “spinning engines” which produces these dials. They’re controlled by hand and require delicate finesse and years of training to have the result right. You may see a combination of patterns and techniques on the dial of this Breguet […]
The New Breguet Watches 2014 Replica Classique 7787 is a developed taste for sure but, then again, that is just fine. Breguet creates a sufficiently broad array of traditional dress watches, but once you’ve possessed those — or if you’re able to envision what it’d be like to have a safe dress watch — you […]
The Breguet Watches Any Good Replica Classique 7787 is a watch not many different brands could get away with calling “classique.” It’s a silicon escapement and balance spring and, even more immediately apparent, a dial up so all over the area, most traditional manufactures would toss the design and its designer out the moment the […]
Truly, Breguet did produce an “optional” dial for the Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette, which I have taken pictures of next to the pocket watch. I don’t know if it’s ever actually been put into the pocket watch, however it’s interesting that it is. You may find out more about this Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette pocket […]
I covered the narrative, with much more background information about the first Breguet 160, its own story, reduction, and ultimate recovery. If you’re interested in this particular story, I highly recommend checking out this article because the narrative of this reference 160 Marie Antoinette timepiece is one that all watch fans should know.More thus, a […]
It was developed years ago when having an “orbital” dual tourbillon was very impressive. Ever since that time, other watches have graced our courts with much more complex movements and even more tourbillons, but the grade 588 remains impressive due to the sheer presence. It’s similar to a contrasting a giant naturally aspirated V8 engine […]
I have not spend enough time with tonneau watches to really explain the science of what makes a perfect shape and sporting experience. To say that it is all about proportions is overly simple. In this instance, I believe that the relatively flat top and bottom, rather traditional and stubby lugs, tall and horizontal sides […]
