Breguet

More than pretty faces

 

Congrats on the two wonderful watches!  Not only are they drop dead beautiful, but both are highly innovative timepieces which are unmatched by anyone else in the industry.  The Chronometrie breaks entirely new ground with its patented magnetic suspension of the balance wheel.  And even the balance wheel itself is innovative with its two creatively designed silicium spirals.  As for the Hora Mundi, no other watch offers shows two time zones in this creative way.  One set of hands and a mechanical memory that allows the owner to toggle between any two time zones at the push of a button and to change the time zones by rotating the button.  With these two watches, Breguet has really made a powerful statement about the creativity and talent of its movement designers.


I think that the collecting community has not yet fully appreciated the advances that Breguet has made......but am confident people will come to understand what is happening at Breguet.

I have not seen the 7727 in person yet. But that movement is extraordinary. Moderator Bill is an asset. His knowledge and passion for watches is incredibly deep. And he's a really nice guy too!
