Oh, I have seen the photos...
... sorry but I can not post them since they are not mine... Mixed first feelings... I was sure that "La Tradition" was called that, for a reason.... And that a special attention was given to even recreate the color of gold of A.-L.B's era....
The novelty was to see the new pareshute and the movement on the front face of the watch (If that was a novelty, since I saw a photo of a Breguet museum watch resembling the looks of the La tradition)... And it was good The novelty not only did justice to the watch but also to the word "Tradition"...
But now, the gold became rose, the dial became black and when the gold is white the movement is grey and the dial is still black...
Nick Hayec have told us that there will be a "La Tradition" line and it started well ... Except the first La Tradition, came the autonatic one with retrograde seconds and a rotor shaped like a rotor of the time of A.-L. B. and then the tourbillon with the very traditional and rare chain and fusee power transmission... And now intead of a new model or complication, what have we got? A play with colors ultimately destorying the subtle effect of continuity, of TRADITION...
The watches look good, do not misunderstand me... BUT they do not belong in the "La Tradition" family , IMHO....
Pity....
You know that I have Breguet and Hayek in highest esteem, but I think this is a wrong move, even if it is the easy way out, to have something that looks new (but it is not...) in the times of economic depression...
