Breguet Marine Équation Marchante 5887
A high complication watch. So apart from the Tourbillon and Perpetual Calendar it also shows a running (marchante) hand showing the equation of time at a glance. Utterly useless unless sailing the oceans without gps etc, but nevertheless very impressive and a key property of Breguets history.
The tiny windows showcasing the month, date and leap year is practically unreadable without a loupe.
Beautiful engravement of the movement. Very fitting to engrave an old ship on the movement considering the complications.
The pictured ship is the Royal Louis, a French navy vessel.
And yes you can swim with it as it has a 100 m water resistant rating (!). Well...it isn't called a Marine for nothing right?

Wow.
William Messena pointed out it has a movement used a few years earlier in a Blancpain. Still, cool back and the guilloche is very nice as well. IF THIS IS THE START OF A REFRESH OF THE MARINE LINE THEN THAT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING
The four hands decrease the readability but the engraving movement blows up everything. Just incredible
Thanks for sharing Arie. Best wishes Alkiro
