One thing I do not like in this watch
is the winding system bridge. The same feeling, unfortunately for the same bridge in La Tradition watch which I appreciate as one of the best modern wristwatches. My vision is here - that is virtual modification.
The style of Breguet's movements of 'Montre de souscription' asks for pure geometric shape of bridges, and my taste give me the answer.
Here it is. Waiting for comments.

Now this is interesting. Proto or to market already?
Nice view of the tourbillon and the fusee chain. 39mm? Thanks for the great pics SJX.
That is an actual production piece that has already been sold
Diameter is 41mm and height is approximately 16mm due to the domed crystal. It is a large watch. - SJX
I absolutely love the "raw" look of this La Tradition Tourbillon
Wow! Looks like this is the 1st tourbillon on my wish list now. Thanks for the great pics SJX! Cheers, Anthony
I love it myself, except the...
...the - needed - bulbous crystal... Needed due to the height of the mechanism of chain ensemble, which is needed for constant force... If it was just a little thinner I would start saving now,,, Only on the profile images it can be really shown...
I think ....
.. once you get used to the bulb crystal you can really love this watch ... but i think i'd prefer the traditional 'La Tradition' anyway ... . Cheers, Filip...
I agree on the crystal
If they could thin out the movement and have a flat crystal it would be perfection.
A Beautiful Piece
This watch is surprisingly beautiful and ironically not much more expensive than a normal Breguet tourbillon without the chain and fusee. In a superficial comparison to the Richard Lange Pour le'Merite chain and fusee, this watch's chain seems a bit more ...
But the Swiss are..........
Patrick, You may be right on the observations about the French and Germans but the Swiss are as rough as brick xxxhouses....... So, very in keeping with La Tradition, then. Regards, MTF
Yes indeed!
They span in both directions. The best finishing with the smallest work, to the roughest work.
stunning
It looks like im going to have to sell my other Breguets to finance this one.....................This is Stunning, but i cannot afford it....shame.................I love it.........
Nice detail photos...
Hi JX, Thanks for the photos. Quite a looker by Breguet. Looks raw and old, indeed Traditione style... Regards
Incredible pics of an amazing watch
La Tradition is not one of my favorite Breguets, since the dial is so small, but this tourbillon is killing. Geo
The pictures show amazing details
Thank you : it's a pleasure to discover the details of this great watch. But I would be scared to wear it because of this bulbous and totally unprotected crystal... The wooden box is very original ! Emmanuel
Great photos, thanks very much SJX....
It's really nice to see that the production version of the Tradition Tourbillon is finally out. The first thing I noticed is that somehow the watch appeared to be less thick to me than the prototypes; the doomed crystal seems to be more refined and rounde...
Great photos SJX. Generally, love the piece - especially the
over-sized balance wheel and the chain fusee. I am not sure about the overall design, but it does have a proportion about it that makes it beautiful. Great watch. Thanks for the photos. Andrew H
Thanks for a GREAT set of photos...
of an awesome watch. I just hope that Breguet does NOT bastardize this superb specimen by coming up with a WG variant somewhere down the road. This one looks right at home as is, a REAL THOROUGHBRED by Breguet. Thanks for sharing...
It's amazing how well your shots turn out
Hi JX Thanks again for the amazing shots. Do you know what's it's retailing for? Gerard Chee
