Besides its breathtaking beauty, the Fusée Tourbillon features a technical innovation: for the first time, a silicium hairspring was shaped with a Breguet overcoil. Meanwhile, it is not overly difficult to etch flat silicium hairsprings, but due to the innate brittleness of the material the spring, while able to "breath" in one flat layer, is likely to break if bent into another direction. Therefore, it is quite an effort to produce an overcoil on a silicium hairspring.From a horological point o... more

I am ambivalent about the Breguet La Tradition. I like the original in yellow gold, I like the way it looks and I like the concept.

The La Tradition is distinctive and easily recognisable as a Breguet; it is a brilliant product of the kind that can define a brand.   But the yellow gold La Tradition is not a subtle watch. Enter the white gold version, more discreet, yes, but the colour scheme is too incongruous with the d... more
