PS: I heard the sound file you posted. The sound looks good, but the regular isn't a tad too noisy? Hard to tell, from the video.
Breguet Classique Répétition Minutes Ref 7637, Rose Gold and White Gold.
A marvel, this watch. Rose Gold black enamel dial, White Gold blue enamel dial, with some great proportions ( 42 mm big / 12, 25 mm high ). The movement is worth a serious look, too. Quite exquisite, even if I would have preferred a tad smaller and thinne...
I agree with your main point of criticism:
it is a bit too large and a bit too high for an elegant minute repeater… Best, Felix
Off topic but…
When Gulliver’s Travels was published, owners of atlas returned them to book stores because they didn’t contain the countries in the novel.
A nice black companion for the lysine 5175 Ginza
That's one I wish they would re issue (limited series be damned)! ...
Those really are stunning looking Breguet Classique Répétition Minutes.
I would go for the white gold with the blue dial and the movements are out of this world. Sacrilege I know but I just really don't have an interest in minute repeaters so the watch could lose some depth by dropping that for me. Marc
Here you go Nico.
I have the 7637BB model in the line up - few years older but the same movement and sound 😊 The upside of the larger case size compares to the movement is that it effectively provides a larger sound chamber. https://youtube.com/shorts/szmb3Bh93X4?si=f9tbfR...
Always hard to tell from recorded media.
I did show the piece to a watchmaker friend at Patek on Bond Street who liked the sound. It’s quite bright with plenty of volume - and the timing is quite even.
