Breguet

Some of the most substantial novelties of this year were presented by Breguet. The start was marked by the stunning "Tradition Fusée Tourbillon" in platinum. Besides its breathtaking beauty, the Fusée Tourbillon features a technical innovation: for the fi...  

Wow, I've been waiting for this report for awhile now The La Tradition in 40mm looks like the business; but I have to see it in the flesh. At 37mm, I thought it was perfect - nice, classy and very elegant...A true dress watch. I have my doubts with the ad... 

Thanks Melvin and Marcus for the coverage of the new novelties from Breguet. I'm a big fan of the La Tradition and fusee tourbillon looks amazing. However, I'm really surprised to see the 40mm version of the Tradition. I do like the larger dial but IMO th... 

I must agree with Ed re the 40mm Tradition. For now, I prefer the 37mm, though your report makes me want to see a 40mm in person. Best, CaliforniaJed

Thanks for this coverage. The finish and color of the Pt Fusee Tourbillon is perfect. Love it. The Reine de Naples Sonnerie au Passage is lovely and the details, such as the heart in the centre of the rotor, just beautiful. But the 40mm Tradition is out o... 

Greetings Marcus, I love the new platinum tourbillon fusee even as I remain skeptical about the use of silcon. I must diagree with your "Nivarox is good enough with regards to magnetism resistance" comment however. As someone who spends too much of my lif... 

I had thought that the current Nivarox abilities regarding magnetism are "good enough", especially for dress watches. But you are the master of the practice, if you don't have the overview, who has? Would be curious to know whether my comment regarding th... 

Hi Marcus, I see everything as statistics, so "good enough" may be the perception of some, but if we could keep an additional 5% of the public satisfied with the performance of their watches if the hairspring was less susceptible to magnetism, it's not "g... 

I will pursue this issue (variable coil thickness/intersection profile vs. overcoil) and report. Thanks for your other thoughts and observations! Regards, Marcus

Type XXII is like a ying yang to type XX.... thanks for the review.... cheers

looks amazing, not because it's larger, but all the dimensions look better. Love the fact hat the dial itself is more prominent. Gorgeous watch! GEO

Thanks a lot, Marcus, for this comprehensive and interesting report. The one which interests me the most is the " normal " Tradition " in 40 mm. I now have to judge if the proportions are still harmonious, as the exercize of making a bigger watch ( from t...
