A close encounter with the Breguet 5177
Jun 05, 2019,01:10 AM
Breguet is currently showing its Marine collection and the 2019 novelties in a two week exhibition at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg... an opportunity I did not want to miss. Kindly enough I was able to spend two hours with the watches to take photos, and of course I will share the outcome with you.
In this post I will get closer to the Classique 5177 in a 40mm white gold case with 8,8mm height, powered by Calibra 777Q and defined by its stunning blue Grand Feu enamel dial.
The first encounter is characterised by the modest charme of the watch, the blue dial holds itself back in the shadow and under indirect light, with shades of dark blue into almost black...
When you get closer and expose the watch to direct light, its true character starts to unveil...
Let us take a look at the backside of this compelling new Breguet:
The positioning of the date window can be actively debated, the execution however is a perfect fit with the grained enamel dial.
I hope you enjoyed the photos. In the next few days there will be another photo report on the Marine models and other novelties.
Cheers
Henrik
