Spot on.......almost!
I am 61 and I love this watch. Then again, those who know me will tell you that 30 years ago, I would have still loved this watch as I have always been partial to classic dress watches rather than anything sporty or avant garde. This is Breguet at its best.
Breguet Celebrates 250 Years with the Classique Souscription (€54k)
The 40 millimeter case is "Breguet Gold" because everyone has to have their own gold alloy these days. The central barrel carries the hour hand and rotates once every 12 hours. You can easily and accurately tell the time to within 5 minutes. Unlike the or...
Looks nice, wish them well and congrats on 250 years. 👍
We live in interesting times as horology seems to be moving towards more modern pieces and styles. Thankfully, the 60+ year old crowd may love this new model AND buy it. Would be interesting to know the average age of buyers for this piece.
+1 get a Tradition, but at 54k it seems ... aspirationnally priced.
Love the dial, etc, and do hope they're all spoken for by now.

Love it ... but ...
Really could not live with a watch with only 1 hand. Based on their original souscription ofcourse ... but not something I like The movement is gorgeous Pretty sad I don't like it
It'd be pretty simple to add a minutes hand to this movement, it would just be under the hour hands instead of on top
Maybe something we'll see in the future.
I think by now
everyone including Breguet knows it is part of the permanent collection and not limited in numbers.. Your original source was definitely incorrect.
Well, actually it is.
Numbers will run from 250 to 4250, according to Breguet Boutique.
I like it...tres Breguet
I'm not really a buyer, but I like the single-hand novelty of the piece, and its seems very well done overall. Reminds me of the AP Philosophique, which of course derives from non-AP pieces, including Breguet itself. The Breguet enamel dial is lovely and ...
Not into one hand watch
Tried to make myself into it when Minerva launched one but couldn’t do it. Pretty watch and movement though
Cool
And fairly unique as I am seeing less one handed watches these days. What do you think of the new lug design (non soldered)? One of the things I always noticed about Breguet lugs, along with it being one of their hallmarks, is they tend to stick straight ...
Found a photo online
It does look different. I do like the overall design. Hopefully I can see it in person to try it on! ...
I think it looks absolutely stunning on both sides.
Having said that I am not going to be a buyer either as one handed watches are just not my thing but I am sure there are those that will want and desire this watch and hopefully get to have one too. Marc
Not bad...a bit pricey...
...the gold tone in the photos looks nice too. I'd have to try it on, but this is a super dressy watch, so 40mm might be a bit large.
Quite interestingly
no one says anything when the Voutilainen Vingt 8 is 11.5mm or when the RW Smith is 13.5mm
Would be interested to know the lug to lug
since the lugs are not the usual straight Breguet lugs, thank goodness. I love the dial and assuming the lug to lug is 47mm and below, I hope to buy one.
Pretty gorgeous
It doesn't immediately fill me with need but it's *absolutely* the kind of watch I want to see Breguet making.
It's a nice watch
But is it all that they can make, after 250 years? Remake, re-edition, but where are the ideas?
I believe there will be several releases during the year
Which is marketing wise much better than launching everything at once …. Now they can get all the attention every time they announce something new 😉
I do hope so
It's another nice, (apparently) well executed remake. But it's dull, it's just the basic homework you'd expect from the promising student, nothing stands out.
Give me a minute hand and i'm in!
I really like all the shapes: hand, lugs, case, case back, etc. Best, E.
I think the souscription was a combination of kick-starter (ahead of his time, as ever) and a simplified movement to make them more affordable.
They hit the simplified (even if they had to add a keyless works) but affordability is a bit of a challenge....
True, but after having given it a thought,
it's right in the actual market prices: so pricey, but not insanely so, compared to the competition.
I would say that it is reaching
the level of what "independent" pricing was two years ago! For example, Sekiguchi started his three hand watch at 60 and is now asking 80...
Very, very appealing, this one.
And they got the lugs right, too. Shape, proportions, compound curves. Just elegant and lovely.
I quite like it. If I think of it as a “style watch” I think one hand is pretty cool.
It has a dandy vibe. Why not? It’s a nice and clean design and the movement is beautiful.
