Beautiful watch, I just hope it sounds as good as it looks!

It's a beautiful watch, the intricate carvings visible from the back are especially appealing. Lastly, all of Kong's photos will always make a beautiful watch look even more beautiful.

I'll make no secret of it, I'm not happy with how Breguet minute repeaters sound. I think they have both poor tone and low volume to my ears. I cannot see the you Compared to the minute repeaters of Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Blancpain, I find that Breguets are consistently quieter and lacking in tone. I will reserve my judgement on this piece until I have heard it in person.

Thank you for the excellent post with the plethora of beautiful photographs Kong! Truly a fantastic and informative post about an important Breguet.

A sensational piece and equally sensational pics Kong

By: samwan : October 30th, 2010-19:12

Very desirable indeed. The looks are better than the sounds IMO (or was it my ear?). BTW, I went to the boutique and played with the Reveil du Tsar boutique edition (5707) - I love it! The blue hands were darker than I thought but the enamel dial is simpl...

Thanks Sam for playing with 'danger' :-)

Hi Sam Not sure if you are referring to the hissing of the centrifugal governor? If it is, I would have to agree. I did not find the secret signature of The Reveil du Tsar Boutique Edition with the watch in my hands! Only saw it on the pictures I would sa...

I like the open dial much more

By: docsnov : October 30th, 2010-21:09

than the solid dial. The decoration on the movement is beautiful. 2 questions. Is the time of the striking example 11:57? I counted 10 first(hours), then 3 (for 15 minute quarters?), then 12 for minutes. Also isn't the higher the vph the more accurate the...

Thanks Stewart ...

By: Kong : October 31st, 2010-11:10

Yes, you are right ! To my knowledge, the lower frequency can be as accurate if the regulation is done right. A lower frequency, may be more susceptible to shock or external movement, which could disturb the oscillation. Thanks for viewing. Kong

I love that open dial...

By: aaronm : October 31st, 2010-10:42

I was in the NYC boutique earlier this week, and they must not have gotten one yet One question, the gongs appeared to be the same color as the case, it that just a coating, or are they made out of something other than the usual steel? A

Same colour :-)

By: Kong : November 2nd, 2010-08:42

Hi A The material of the gong-spring is gold, but did not specifiy if it is 18K or 22K, other ratio. Kong
