I really like the movement of the 7727, and the concept of the magnetic pivot, I just regret the 10 HZ on the dial. [nt]

So different, yet the similarities are enlightening!
Enjoying two watches with plenty of shared Breguet DNA! I've also tried (and failed) to capture the movement of the 7727. And the 5837: ...
I believe so
I could live with the more discrete version pictured above. Less so with the Red 10Hz.
Yes, the prototype! They really wanted to say Breguet is as much about the future as the past.
Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed!
I never understood why they did not come out with other model using the 10Hz movement...
Joking aside with the 10Hz label, this is one of the most accurate and beautiful movement out there. Why invent it and then not use it. To my knowledge they only did 2 models (7727 and a type XX) more then 10 years ago . Breguet, please re-introduce this ...
They also have a patent for a natural escapement!
I believe they are going to introduce their version of a Spring Drive in the coming years. So, there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes! I think the 10hz movements need a 41mm case.
Some people have a harder time with the 10hz for sure!
I can see why Breguet wanted to remind people that they are about innovation, not just traditional looks!
I am not bothered by the 10 HZ. On pictures sticks out but fairly discreet in real life.
I love the technical innovation, the dial. But can't get beyond the finish of the movement ... Not acceptable at this level.
Well, given that Pateks are machine finished at that level,
As has been discussed on this website a few times whose discussion I direct you to, then, at least by that standard, a hand-finished Breguet (and the anglage is indeed free of "chattering" marks) stands above! It's not a Lange or an FPJ, sure. The origina...
I have been tempted by 7727 several times.
I am enormously glad that this watch exists. Maybe I am too spoiled by Lange ... But even relative to GO or entry level Patek (or even the sister Blancpain) in my eyes the finishing looks sloppy in the couple of examples that I have had a chance to examin...
I agree, the dial is beautiful and very classic Breguet but it doesn't live up to the movement
I've been eyeing a 7727 for a while now but have been slow to pull the trigger maybe because I'm hoping to see if they do an update or offer the 10hz movement in another model. I would love to see the innovation of the 10hz movement reflected more on the ...
I'd love to see other watches with this movement as well!
As I understand, they are prototyping a spring drive-like movement now, so maybe we will see that next.
Spangles, how has it happend that you became a Breguet-guy?
Do you remember when and why you fell in love with them?
Good question!
I think the guilloché, blued hands, design aesthetic, and history drew me in. The gray market factors allowed me to access Breguet in a way that I wouldn't have otherwise. A 5177bb with white grand feu dial is almost exactly what I would have pictured as ...
