Yes, they are indeed getting ...
very interesting with the Boutique Exclusives.
Did not see the La Tradition fusee chain tourbillon PT, but the YG also stunning.

Flipped through a Breguet book, the gong-spring, Breguet invents it in 1783 along with his hollowed-apple hands (or Breguet hands) and also the Breguet numerals.

Now THAT is a BEAUTIFUL watch
I only regret that my early choice of parents and wife and career have not put me in a position to get one! Cazalea
A sensational piece and equally sensational pics Kong
Very desirable indeed. The looks are better than the sounds IMO (or was it my ear?). BTW, I went to the boutique and played with the Reveil du Tsar boutique edition (5707) - I love it! The blue hands were darker than I thought but the enamel dial is simpl...
Thanks Sam for playing with 'danger' :-)
Hi Sam Not sure if you are referring to the hissing of the centrifugal governor? If it is, I would have to agree. I did not find the secret signature of The Reveil du Tsar Boutique Edition with the watch in my hands! Only saw it on the pictures I would sa...
I like the open dial much more
than the solid dial. The decoration on the movement is beautiful. 2 questions. Is the time of the striking example 11:57? I counted 10 first(hours), then 3 (for 15 minute quarters?), then 12 for minutes. Also isn't the higher the vph the more accurate the...
Thanks Stewart ...
Yes, you are right ! To my knowledge, the lower frequency can be as accurate if the regulation is done right. A lower frequency, may be more susceptible to shock or external movement, which could disturb the oscillation. Thanks for viewing. Kong
I love that open dial...
Thanks for the photos. Maybe if I win the lotto one day, then this will be high on my list. Regards, Richard.
You wouldn't know :-)
As long as you buy, you have a chance. Thanks for viewing, Richard. Kong

Wow!
Great descriptor - ART. Breguet team will be great to hear it. Have you checked out their Boutique Exclusives in your area? Thanks for viewing. Kong
after seeing this timeless pieces of beauty
im sure ill go on a search for the exclusives in the area. Thanks again Kong . Faisal
Two days too late!
I was in the NYC boutique earlier this week, and they must not have gotten one yet One question, the gongs appeared to be the same color as the case, it that just a coating, or are they made out of something other than the usual steel? A
Same colour :-)
Hi A The material of the gong-spring is gold, but did not specifiy if it is 18K or 22K, other ratio. Kong
Beautiful watch, I just hope it sounds as good as it looks!
It's a beautiful watch, the intricate carvings visible from the back are especially appealing. Lastly, all of Kong's photos will always make a beautiful watch look even more beautiful. I'll make no secret of it, I'm not happy with how Breguet minute repea...
Thanks for the inputs, Patrick ...
There's definitely room for improvement. Hopefully Breguet is working on it. And thanks for the kind words, sometimes, pics can do only to a certain level, nothing beats having the piece on hand Kong
Too much distraction then ...
Got another 23 Museum Chronographs to accompany you Kong
oh my... 23?!
I will find time to go separately then. Just felt that I woud be better received there under the auspices of PuristPro
I prefer the open dial
Thanks Kong for the great photos, and it's always nice to see and hear the videos. I definitely prefer the look of the boutique exclusive open dial. Regards, ED-209
