Nice view of the tourbillon and the fusee chain. 39mm? Thanks for the great pics SJX.

Diameter is 41mm and height is approximately 16mm due to the domed crystal. It is a large watch. - SJX

Wow! Looks like this is the 1st tourbillon on my wish list now. Thanks for the great pics SJX! Cheers, Anthony

...the - needed - bulbous crystal... Needed due to the height of the mechanism of chain ensemble, which is needed for constant force... If it was just a little thinner I would start saving now,,, Only on the profile images it can be really shown...

.. once you get used to the bulb crystal you can really love this watch ... but i think i'd prefer the traditional 'La Tradition' anyway ... . Cheers, Filip...

If they could thin out the movement and have a flat crystal it would be perfection.

This watch is surprisingly beautiful and ironically not much more expensive than a normal Breguet tourbillon without the chain and fusee. In a superficial comparison to the Richard Lange Pour le'Merite chain and fusee, this watch's chain seems a bit more ... 

Patrick, You may be right on the observations about the French and Germans but the Swiss are as rough as brick xxxhouses....... So, very in keeping with La Tradition, then. Regards, MTF

Stunning !!!!

and great photos cheers

Hi JX, Thanks for the photos. Quite a looker by Breguet. Looks raw and old, indeed Traditione style... Regards

rich I guess . Nice pictures, but I prefer Lumiere cen@jkt

La Tradition is not one of my favorite Breguets, since the dial is so small, but this tourbillon is killing. Geo

Thank you : it's a pleasure to discover the details of this great watch. But I would be scared to wear it because of this bulbous and totally unprotected crystal... The wooden box is very original ! Emmanuel

It's really nice to see that the production version of the Tradition Tourbillon is finally out. The first thing I noticed is that somehow the watch appeared to be less thick to me than the prototypes; the doomed crystal seems to be more refined and rounde... 

Great to see you back here. - SJX

over-sized balance wheel and the chain fusee. I am not sure about the overall design, but it does have a proportion about it that makes it beautiful. Great watch. Thanks for the photos. Andrew H

of an awesome watch. I just hope that Breguet does NOT bastardize this superb specimen by coming up with a WG variant somewhere down the road. This one looks right at home as is, a REAL THOROUGHBRED by Breguet. Thanks for sharing...

Hi JX Thanks again for the amazing shots. Do you know what's it's retailing for? Gerard Chee

SGD250,000. - SJX

is the winding system bridge. The same feeling, unfortunately for the same bridge in La Tradition watch which I appreciate as one of the best modern wristwatches. My vision is here - that is virtual modification. The style of Breguet's movements of 'Montr...
