Breguet

A visit at the Breguet booth is a must-do for me at the Baselworld Fair. Year after year, it makes me understand the strategy of Swatch Group with its most prestigious brand and I can feel now the strong ambition behind. Several years ago, I had some diff...  

is the one I want to see. Do you know the case size, FX? I am glad to hear they will remove the 10HZ from the dial, at least in it's present color/font. Like you, I hope it comes off completely. But for that, the watch looks to be a winner -- a marriage o... 

Thanks for your comments! Fx

But I would have expected a cleaner dial... I didn't even speak of the Red 10 Hertz which reminds me the back of a Peugeot 205 GTI. It was coherent with the look of a small sports car, it is not coherent with a dressy watch. Moreover, I would have preferr... 

...it's your vampire blood! I completely agree about the Red 10HZ, though I have no idea what the back or front of a Peugeot 205GTI looks like! Surely that will come off? I like the dial itself, though, particularly the 10hz subdial (if it can be called t... 

Do you see the Red 10 Hertz and the side and the back side? Best, Nicolas...  

No message body

And it was so obvious to find it ugly that all of us thought that Breguet did it knowingly to give a highlight on the watch or especially for the displays. Final version will be different. About Power Reserve Indicator, I find it useful here: first of all... 

A Torquemeter would be more useful, if you want to check the regularity of the torque suring the work of the movement, but a power reserve? Did you often see a power reserve on most of the Chronometers? ( Ok, there is a Lange RL with a power reserve, but ... 

The watch has 60 hours of power reserve. So it is not mandatory to wind it every day. For a better accuracy, power reserve indicator will tell if the watch has worked for more than one day. I've never met a watch which works better after one day than duri... 

As its a beautiful piece otherwise

expect some changes on the dial of the final version. Can't wait to discover it BTW. Thanks imran! Fx

Drop the red bit, as they seem to be doing, and i love the 10hz model. The power-reserve may be oddly assymetric, but it is entirely in keeping with AL Breguet's designs, same with the seconds-at-12 o'clock. I don't love the weird cut-through for the top ... 

I think that I share a large part of your comments. Fx

for that detailed report! You wouldn't have any unpublished photos of the modest 5140? Best T

Ah Tobias, I have very old pics of the 5140... but I can publish them again if you wish it. Thanks for your words! Fx

not sure if I have seen them already - it is a perfectly simple and perfectly beautiful gold watch in my view

Currently, it should be the fastest frequency movement. Any idea that the accuracy of the watch is significantly enhanced? Does it mean that the regulator is "oil-free"? Thank you Xavier. Regards Ling

Thanks Xavier for the beautiful report - i like to see Breguet being on the forefront of watchmaking technololgy - that's exactly where Breguet belongs. I guess Mr. Hayek senior had the grand plan for Breguet neatly in his mind... 7727 is certainly the mo... 

Xavier, i just finished reading the article on the Reveil Musical in the "Quai de L'Horolge" magazine. I must say that i am fascinated by the concept of the Reveil Musical - i am very fond of the warm sound of music boxes. .I was wondering whether you had... 

Great report! ...good to see another beautiful moon phase in the Brequet collection. Would be amazing to see men's version in the future! ( With some of that majestic presence of heritage tourbillon...)
