My latest, the Breguet ref. 7337.
I definitely have a sweet spot for Breguet.
The specific brand DNA with coin-edged cases, guilloche dials, blued “Breguet” hands and a somewhat eccentric dial layout is very pleasing to my eyes.
From the current collection , the ref. 7337 is one of my absolute favorites.
Last week the watch was delivered to me and I would like to take the opportunity to share a few pictures with you.
Various beautiful guilloche patterns are present on the dial.
The movement is the automatic cal. 502.3 QSE1 which is based on an original F. Piguet design but completely internalized and improved by Breguet with, amongst others, a frequency increase from 2.5 to 3hz and the use of silicon for the balance spring … and nicely finished.
The case has very classical dimensions at 39 x 9.9 mm and adds to the elegance of the watch.
And finally a picture of the somewhat grim looking moon.
Thanks for looking,
Gerard

Thanks,Blomman.
Yes, the rotor layout is somewhat special. A kind of a BIG micro-rotor .... Best, Gerard
True beauty..
with lot of Breguet DNA Bravo & congrats Sincerely Damjan and of course thank you for sharing this amazing shots
Sublime watch, not less sublime photos.
All is great in this Watch, except, maybe the movement, which is not as appealing as the rest. I would rather prefer a solid case back on such a beauty! Congratulations, this is really a superb catch. A TRUE Breguet Watch. Best, Nicolas.
Thanks,Nicolas!
The movement is looking quite interesting with it's decentralized rotor. I looked at it in magnification and find the finish also to be very well done. So, in this case, I am pretty pleased with the choice of a transparent back. That being said, the main ...
I like the predecessor rotor and movement
But I adore this white metal version. This movement with the new layout and I'd switch! I've had this watch for a long time and it is just a beautiful watch by Breguet Congrats to the new owner! Best, Joe ...
This movement looks great!
Yes, your movement finish with the new dial layout...and here we go ! Best, Gerard
Wonderful presentation of an amazing watch.. and your photos! TERRIFIC!!
Thanks for sharing the beauty of this watch with us here! S
Fantastic photos Gerard!
And congrats on an awesome Classic Breguet! The attention to details is amazing on this piece. Bravo and you have great taste indeed! Cheers Robin
beautiful and informative post
thank you so much. The pictures are gorgeous and it was great to learn about the provenance of the movement! Best Andreas
Congratulations...
...to seriously one of the most beautiful watches I know (next to the 5197 from the same manufacturer). Everything at this dial seems perfect, the patterns, the layout etc. I love the inclusion of the small second which the predecessor is missing. Wear it...
Thanks,Abdullah.
I felt excactly the same about the beauty of this watch. Best, Gerard
Very nice!
A very nice update of the 3330. The 39mm size is perfect. I've wondered whether Breguet has done anything about the accuracy of the Moon Phase. Good luck and enjoy!
Now that's beautiful.....
One of my favorite Breguets. I typically don't like the date complication, but on this one it really works. I imagine you must find yourself staring at the dial quite a bit! Darren
Thanks,Darren!
Yes,definitely staring a lot at the dial and admiring all of these beautiful guilloche patterns. Best, Gerard
Beautiful photos of a lovely watch.....
The 7337 is another example of Breguet taking a pocket watch from 200+ years ago as a basis for a contemporary wristwatch. Bill
Thanks, Bill.
You mention the reference to an old pocket watch. This is what I like especially about Breguet : they have a design DNA that is very special to them and refers back to century old models. Best, Gerard
Beautiful
I was at the Breguet Boutique in NYC Friday, and got to hold that model. Gorgeous watch and movement, and truly representative of the brand. Congratulations! Enjoy wearing it.
Congrats Gerard for this superb interpretation of the Chinoise.
I prefer to see the movement visible here. It may not be the most beautiful on Earth, its lay-out with its slightly off-centered winding rotor makes it appealing. The dial is gorgeous. Congrats! Fx
Beautiful and classy
Congratulations, this is a truly wonderful watch, and the dial layout is so unmistakably Breguet. What a coincidence, I just looked at a RG version of the 7337 today at the AD. Enjoy the watch in good health and please share more photos with us - it is a ...
Congrats and this watch captures the essence of brequet!!
IMO, brequet is the brand that can best compete with Patek in terms of elegance, and classic and timeless designs !!
Very nice...
...it has always been one of my favorites. And, professional-grade photography. I would only hope for a case of 36-38mm, so maybe I would be looking at the previous reference. m
Good and bad
The Good: The moonphase indicator is beautiful, IMO Breguet makes the best moonphase watches in the industry. The Bad: That rotor at the back is disgusting - no finishing and asymetrical versus the caseback.
No decoration? To me this looks like a very nice guillochage...
I would very much like to see on my watches: The eccentric placement of the rotor is a defining feature of the Breguet movement (which was originally developed by Lemania and subsequently improved by Breguet (e.g. free-sprung hairspring). In this, I think...
Bravo Gerard......
The watch is certainly magnificent, one of my favourite from the Breguet line and in white metal, wow! Superb! Congratulations for your photography, it is splendid. Are you a photographer by profession? Cheers Francois
