Collection
On a recent business trip to New York, I was having dinner with a client and we started talking about watches. I've known him for over 15 years and we've become close friends. He was wearing a Rolex Datejust that he received from his parents many years ago as a gift when he earned his MBA. It's got
) often to learn more about other
brands. His wife also enjoys looking at the Breguet and was
considering the Reine de Naples. This is a great start and I'm
hoping he and his family will enjoy their developing watch
collection.
The La Tradition Breguet 7067 stands out in the Tradition collection for its fusee and chain transmission system, visible on the dial side. This mechanism, a hallmark of traditional horology, is presented in a contemporary open-worked design, allowing for a direct view into the intricate workings of the movement. It represents Breguet's commitment to showcasing historical watchmaking techniques with modern execution, making the technical aspects a central part of the aesthetic.
This reference features a 40 mm 18k rose gold case, housing the manual-wind caliber 507TMG. The movement, visible through both the sapphire crystal on the dial and the exhibition case back, offers a power reserve of 50 hours. The use of a sapphire crystal ensures durability and clarity for viewing the complex dial arrangement and the movement's finishing. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.
The 7067 appeals to collectors interested in the mechanical artistry of watchmaking, particularly those who appreciate the historical significance and technical challenge of the fusee and chain. Its design, which places the movement's architecture at the forefront, positions it as a piece for enthusiasts who value horological innovation and traditional craftsmanship. The model is typically offered on a leather strap, complementing its classic yet technically focused presentation.
I see this model pop up occasionally. It's really stunning and your photos capture the many details. Thank you.
Definitely my favourite Breguet from the current collection. As for knowing if we ever helped a friend, WIS or not, in the Watch decision, well, I would answer that this is also one of the many goals of this forum! :) Best, Ed. Nicolas.
in the beginning, but in the long run I prefer the original/"real" one in YG. Your client is lucky to have such a good friend, which is ready to help but not manipulating. Congrats to your client/friend! Maybe he is looking right now and even better he will do his own posts some time soon :-) Thanks for sharing! Oliver
- as per the last Q, about another Purist and friendly helping.. Yes, I've been helped, advised but also encouraged & stimulated by very good friends, here.. - For some pieces, they not only have been kind advisers but "knowledgeable witnesses " of the slow building my humble collection.. Thus again, Yes - several times of kind help, here also by members of this community !.. And I am still grateful for these !! Thank you, dear friends ( you know, who you are), thank you very much ! Thank you al
Sharing the passion of this hobby with others is IMO what ThePurists is all about. Your client is lucky to have a friend such as you. Cheers, John
