The first rule is always speak softly to it
Never raise your voice to a tourbillon.
And do not taunt a Breguet. That's just science.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
When you set the time, have the last direction the hands go be clockwise. When you wind the watch, never, ever force things, but instead turn the crown back a turn or two to unbind the winding mechanism.
Breguet 3577 Tourbillon and Chronograph
Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy a 2005 watch. See below, I 'borrowed' a photo from the internet. Does anyone have any experience with this watch? Seems to be very complicated. Any service issues? Reliability? On Breguet's site, I can't find a successor to the...
It has a classic Lemania tourbillon chrono movement
It is super time-tested, but will require the usual tourbillon care. Expect it to be the usual level of expensive for tourbillons. If you look on the Breguet website, there is a essay about the Lemania chronograph movement here: Click As you can see, Bre...

The 5837 debuted in 2011
I wouldn't expect terrible things just because it's a tourbillon. The only real problem is that you can't have it regulated outside of a full service. I would consider working with a skilled, trustworthy independent watchmaker. I know two very good watchm...
Looks like December 2006 …
… according to this source. :/&prev=search Actually, I would prefer to do a full service at the manufacturer because they are more likely to have the parts and know how. What bothers me is not knowing how often the tourbillon needs to be adjusted. The chr...
Oh wow, earlier than I thought!
2006 it is. As for parts, that's no worry, Breguet will fix any watch in its entire history.
This is heresy.
Tourbillons and repeaters have been the crème of horology for many decades. However, TAG HEUER CARRERA HEUER-02T at just $17k raises questions about the exclusivity of tourbillon watches. This guy thinks that... “Here’s Why: The Chronograph Is The New To...
