For almost all of its watches, Breguet has a strong historical bias. Take for instance the recently introduced Classique 7337 Calendar & Moon and you’ll see that its display is a tribute to a glorious 19th-century pocket watch. Still, one of the brand’s collections is even more about history and commemoration of A.L. Breguet’s talent; […]
This year, the venerable manufacture Breguet has unveiled several new models, mostly refreshing some of its all-time – yet extremely desirable – Classique models, as well as introducing new blue guilloché dials. Already seen on the 7137 Moon & Power Reserve, these upgrades also made it to one of our favourite Breguet models, the superbly […]
Breguet’s Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887 is an unabashedly complex and an unabashedly ornate timepiece. It is a massive gold vessel laden with history, complications and maritime flourishes that invites inquiry. One of Breguet’s most technically ambitious timepieces, the 5887 packs a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon and an ingenious running equation of time indicator on […]

The Tourbillon is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular and prestigious complications – a must-have in the collection of a respectable watchmaker. Invented to counteract the effects of gravity on the regulating organ of mechanical watches, this now-ubiquitous mechanism has remained long the preserve of a few watchmakers. The past few months have brought […]
The Automatique Seconde Rétrograde, like all watches in the Tradition collection, is inspired by Breguet’s historical subscription watches. With most of the essential components of the historic movement displayed on the dial, the 7097 dons a new ‘Breguet blue’ guilloché dial for 2020 and will be available exclusively in Breguet boutiques. Subscription watches for the […]
Earlier this year, Breguet unveiled its models for 2020 including this Classique 7337 Calendar & Moon watch.
