BREGUET B CRAZY HAUTE JOAILLERIE

A few years ago, Breguet demonstrated its skills in gem setting by revealing a technique that gave diamonds unprecedented movement. This is how the Crazy Flower and Petite Fleur collections enlivened watches and jewellery. Breguet today presents an even more outstanding model called B Crazy as a direct descendent of these exceptional watches. Set with more than 70 cts of baguette diamonds, this timepiece shows off its resolutely contemporary design. The diamonds arranged in asymmetric rows radiate from the sides of the case, thanks to an exclusive setting method developed by Breguet. The dial, representing the heart of this flower of diamonds, highlights the hours and minutes subdial, making time the source of the bloom. The continuation of the baguette-cut diamonds paving the white gold bracelet extends the brilliance and exclusive character of this creation.

Like all Breguet timepieces, this uniquely three-dimensional item of jewellery is equipped with a mechanical movement featuring the brand’s latest innovations in luxury watchmaking. A sapphire-crystal caseback allows you to admire all the components as well as the meticulous finishing work, especially evident on the engine-turned platinum rotor.

BREGUET TRADITION AUTOMATIQUE SECONDE RÉTROGRADE 7097 In 2005, Breguet launched its iconic Tradition collection with the 7027 model, the first timepiece to showcase the mechanisms of the movement on top of the baseplate. Much imitated but never equalled, ...

BREGUET TRADITION CHRONOGRAPHE INDÉPENDANT 7077 The chronograph occupies a choice position in watchmaking as a complication in its own right. Measuring elapsed times provides immediate visualisation of the desired function, but making it work is an additi...

This is one I have to see. Not I will like the size, but the aesthetics are quite

By: amanico : March 18th, 2015-11:18

Appealing, I must say. To be seen in the flesh. Definitely. Best, Nicolas

If it was not...

By: ciaca : March 18th, 2015-16:42

For the insane size of the case (44mm! A breguet with the dimensions of a Panerai? C'mon...) it could have been really interesting. Regards

Wow, this time they got my attention ...

By: small-luxury-world : March 19th, 2015-02:51

to say the least. I see it is quite big, but maybe for good reasons. Really looking forward to see it some time soon ... :-)

The winner!

By: Brandon Skinner : March 19th, 2015-14:20

At SIHH, much of the Harmony collection was the standout. At Basel (from all I have seen thus far), this Breguet 7077 is the winner! So many cool concepts built into a gorgeous timepiece. 44mm is too big for many, but I could definitely enjoy the generous...

I like this new variation of the Tradition

By: ED209 : March 19th, 2015-17:42

Would love to see this in person. I like the dial layout and the chrono functions. Nicely done by Breguet. Regards, ED-209

Weird little hand at the bottom?

By: aaronm : March 20th, 2015-13:27

There appears to be a short blue hand at the very bottom of the dial...any ideas? A

Not bad! To be seen in the flesh, just like the new Tradition Chrono. [nt]

Is full of research, very interesting solutions and innovative approach to a so classic complication. I'm glad to see all this research and innovation, unfortunately the result is less interesting from an aesthetic point of view. The measure is embarrassi...

Pictures of the back?

By: aaronm : March 20th, 2015-12:45

They talk about how the peripheral rotor and membrane still let you see the workings on the back, and then no pictures? A

Unfortunately with press releases, they almost usually always never have pics of the rear

By: AnthonyTsai : March 20th, 2015-13:15

So you'll have to wait for live pictures from our team. Cheers, Anthony
