A Marine masterpiece to begin the weekend...
Was travelling and came upon a dealer, so I decided to pop in to have a quick look-see. They had Breguet, so I was immediately intrigued, because I love the Tradition and Marine lines especially. I tried on the white gold time-only Marine and came away super impressed. I think it's a brilliant piece and maybe in a while I can get myself one (but there are priority and budget constraints...for now). The salesperson was super nice and noticed I knew my stuff, so then she offered something: why not pull out the Marine 5887PT from the display case so I could look at it? Good god, I wasn't prepared for this!
Anyway, I got to try it on and they even pried the wrap off the back so I could get a good look at the movement. Suffice it to say I don't have $360 000 to spend, but if I did, this might be the way...a fantastic experience. Hopefully you enjoy the photos. The movement engraving is just on another level; this kind of handcraft is incredible. Dream come true!

This is the craziest breguet I have ever seen.
At least a modern one. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Sure is. You're welcome!
Equation of time with that solar minute hand is genius (instead of a scale). Coupled with perpetual calendar, tourbillon, peripheral rotor, sly power reserve near 7/8 o'clock...and Earth orbit/equation of time + month just above the tourbillon? Haven't se...
For 44mm, maybe.
But see the 40mm in WG here: No issues whatsoever. It depends on the model and on your wrist. For what it's worth, the previous generation's lugs were insanely proportioned. Firstly, too thick, and second, protruded out to such an incredibly unnecessary d...

That's THE reason why I don't like the marine line nowadays. Ulysse Nardin also has a bunch of these strange lug watches. It's like they wanted an integrated bracelet but forgot the steel or gold bracelet and decided to put a leather strap on it. Lugs mus...
