Aesthetic vision …
Thanks John,
Your patient and clear explanations have been very useful. I have updated the labelled images which can be found below. Some of the labels are now hybrids of different nomenclature, but this should make it (relatively) clear for different readers.
Thanks also for reminding me of your eloquent review of the Union watch. Your point about the movement layout making “engineering allowances at the most fundamental levels for the sake of an aesthetic vision” perfectly applies to the gear trains in the La Tradition.
Kindest regards

Meaning something
Andrew, Thanks for the labels - they mean something to me too. In the Land of the Blind, the one-eyed man is King. Unless we have better examples, this anatomical diagram will do for me! Over to ei8htohms......... Regards, MTF
a few suggestions
Hello Andrew, Any labels I can offer will also be subject to debate of course since I don't have any official word from Breguet, but I think these changes would make it more easily understood by most watchmakers at least: "main wheel" = barrel, the toothe...
THANKYOU (and more questions, of course)…
Dear John, This is brilliant, thanks so much. I have an even clearer understanding of these parts now. I will update the images and labels and post again shortly. As I mentioned in my post above on the reverse of the La Tradition, I am still confused by t...
