And as Le Magazine de la Haute Horlogerie puts it...
"The Classique 7337 references Breguet’s early pocket watch designs and is specifically inspired by antique watch no 3833 located in the museum. An off-center hour chapter showing hours and minutes sits in the lower portion of the dial along with a running seconds located at 5 o’clock. Meanwhile, the moon phase, rising above, declares the position of earth’s natural satellite, while the uniquely shaped day and date apertures float like celestial companions on either side. Contrasting guilloche patterns for the hour ring and the remainder of the watch set off the face into two distinct parts that harmonize as a whole, enabling a clear and easy read of desired information...."
That says it all.... Now, if it had the back of 3337..... Then that maybe would raised the cost of it substantily... Hand engraving in that calibre does not come cheap...
And yes the 7337 was in my mind for a long time and I played with its possible DNA in an old post as you see in this image I put together months ago....

It goes well with my perpetual, in every day use and I like it more of all the recent Breguets, even if I prefer the back of 3337..... I think it is faithful with the spirit of A.L. Breguet and studying the catalog of the recent Louvre exhibition, convinc...
Tassos, my good friend...Huge congrats!
Although I preferred the previous model, I learnt to appreciate this 7337... As you, I learnt that the 7337 was conceived and designed in reference of an old pocket watch with the de centered small second, and even saw a pic of the " Mother "... Then, I b...

Thanks Nico, exactly the same ...
... happened to me. When I saw it first I was delighted, then rejected it (the back played a role...) and then loved it again.... And when I saw its origins, I saw that it was like a piece of the imagination of A.L. Breguet reincarnated... So Messidor can...

Congratulations!
Unfortunately for me, the 7337 is a tad big for me, but the 3337 would be just perfect for me, so at least I have an alternative. I find the movement in the 7337 to be a beautiful movement in its own right. Although it is not skeletonized as in the 3337, ...
Congrats!
Lovely watch. I like the pensive moonphase! Looking forward to the wristshots! Cheers, Daos
Congratulations..
...Tassos! You had your mind on this one for some time, hesitating a little. Then you delved deep into it, and discovered many new things about her. Then you finally made up your mind, and it feels great! Don't worry about the tourbillon - it's indeed a b...
Thanks Jon!!! Exactly as you said...
...And it is the voyage to the goal that counts... As for my portfolio... I am ready to optimize everything except my Breguets... I agree with you in everything And of course, when the happy moment comes, I will share the first wrist shots.... best Tassos

Hello Tassao,
Hi Tassos, I am happy for you and I know that you have something beautiful to look forward to in coming months. I think you have more of ALB's blood in you veins than all of us Breguet fans. I hope it finds a speedy arrival. Kindest regards, Jack
Quite right dear Jack...
...about the ALB blood in my veins... As years go by, I notice it myself. I had many brands of watches in my life... Omegas, Paul Picot, Chronoswiss, Longines, Oris, Belhara,etc even the 1945 Perpetual of GP and the faithful instrument that is called Role...
And as is my custom I combine....
....my watch in waiting Breguet 7337 with one of my oil paintings "Cryssalis" Classic Beauties Combined... And indulge me if I make it also a new post Tassos...
You certainly have an
You certainly have an eye for beauty..... and an incredible talent to faithfully express it. kindest regards, Jack
