Breguet 7787.
I’m playing with this piece for a while, went back to the boutique twice and the love is still there.
I just don’t have any experience with this movement, or field report regarding reliability.
I know it has a Lemania movement(which is a huge plus), also ultra thin, with hacking seconds( another huge plus for me), but curious if anyone owns this piece and can chime in with they’re input...
So much watchmaking art here, with the fraction of the price what independents charge for the same thing!

Maybe it is just me but I feel
the power reserve indicator is a bit too long, other than than thumbs up!
Agreed! Not to mention the tail on the seconds hand!
THAT'S what makes this watch so special. At least, to me.
Definitely a cool reference
I think some Breguet movements were so so in the past but I have no clue about this one. Legibility might not be its forte, but its charm is indeed in those extra long and thin hands. If I may, I would say go for it!
This is the only…
…’upside down’ moon phase that I really like. If the power reserve was ‘up’ when full it would suit my OCD better though : )
Here is an interesting article on this reference
For me I love the look as a great reflection of the Breguet style, and the long PR hand especially. But I’ve always been conflicted with a moonphase without a date. I am a stickler for moon phase indications being accurate, and a dress watch that would be...
Thank you, I read this article yesterday, appreciate it!
Interesting observation about the moon phase. Hmmm, something to think about...
Not an issue at all!
It's just as easy to google the day of the moon as it is the date or time. Setting is simple with that.
That would be the way to set this Breguet.
But with a date, if the watch ran down several days ago, it’s easier in my mind to advance the hands through several days to the correct date than to get out the stylus and look up the current moon phase. With a power reserve of 38 hours, one will want to...
I have this watch and it's so, so charming! Very reliable, too!
Always a joy to wear. So good! And very legible in person (do people not know the second hand moves??? It's an easy to read watch!) ...
The legibility is not a problem at all, how do rate the movement(accuracy, reliability)?
Did you had any issues with it?
Only happiness, no issues.
Seems very reliable in a few years of wearing in rotation, winding is very efficient. Accuracy is good.
It is a gorgeous watch!
And you are right,any of these overhyped independents would charge double the price for this watch. As for the movement,one should not oversee that these have been heavily modified and improved by Breguet including modern silicon technology. I have a few ...
I read about the silicon technology they implemented and it gives me piece of mind that you’re happy with the performance.
As for the independents, I see it same as you... Thank you for the valuable opinion!🥂
I am not sure about the readability.
But this Breguet looks gorgeous and is very romantic. An eye catcher for sure. Best Thomas
Thank you Thomas, it is indeed a very interesting watch.
When in your hands, it has so much charm, with that quirky power reserve, the way it winds, one can feel the human labor in this piece...
What is the function of the extended second hand?
Too many hands pointing in different directions for my personal purist taste but I am sure this feature will appeal to some If you like it then go ahead, I am sure the timekeeping and reliability is spot on.
