They’re good thoughts …
Hi Aaron and Anthony,
I think it would be great to keep the complications of the Tradition consistent with inventions that the man himself was involved with. We already have many of the classic touches in the current range such as the Breguet spiral/overcoil, parachute, and engine-turned dial and of course the tourbillon.
A.-L. Breguet did, I understand, develop his own unique striking mechanism and a repeater would certainly fit in with the period and the mythology of owning a Breguet timepiece.
I think that a perpetual calendar would be interesting (Breguet developed a system in 1795) or would someone like to see a thermometer, ala the Marie Antoinette watch?

A big date version would be nice
as well as a moonphase. I don't think a chrono Tradition works with the look of the Tradition, but I am curious to see how a chrono version would look like if Breguet does ever make one. Cheers, Anthony
Some more Tradition pics...
Sorry Andrew, haven't checked into this forum for a while otherwise I would have posted on your previous thread. Anyway, here are my own images of the Tradition..."the one that got away", as it were... Regards Tony...
