Hi,
Just wanted to share a watch I got to see last week.
Breguet – Classic complications, Extra-thin tourbillon automatic movement with power reserve.
I was not allowed to remove the plastic on this one, but I think it might be worthwhile to share this one anyway.
The face is not really what intrigues me on this watch…
Honestly, I think the power reserve gets too much attention here. I would rather have seen a shorter power reserve indicator that didn’t cut into the tourbillon scale.
The off centered giluche dial, very typical Breguet design is beautiful made but I would rather have a look on the backside.
On the caliber 581DR the rotor is located on the outside of the movement alongside the case.
This is what makes it possible for the Rose Gold case to only be 7 mm thick (42 mm in diameter).
Here is another view; you see the rotor moves outside the movement.
What do you think? Is this the future for flat automatic movements?
Best
Blomman
