Hands-on – The New Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat 5367PT Blue Enamel

Ultra-thin, automatic, equipped with innovative features and still minimalistic in its design… Breguet‘s Tourbillon Extra-Plat certainly is one of the best watches in its current collection. Launched in 2013 with a guilloché dial as the 5377, this watch also introduced a new movement, one of the thinnest tourbillon calibres on the market. It will be followed by a sleek and desirable white enamel model, and recently by a stunning skeleton model. Today, the brand presents a new edition, with a striking blue enamel dial and platinum case. Meet the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Blue 5367PT.

In-Depth – The Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 and its Innovations

When you think about Breguet, you probably picture a classic watch with elegant proportions, a guilloché dial and a beautifully executed movement.

Certainly, it is one of (if not the) most historically important brands, mainly because its founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet, is behind […]

Women’s Watch Wednesday – Breguet Classique Dame 9065 Tahitian Mother-of-Pearl Tender Dreams

Breguet unveils the ladies’ Classique 9065, an 18k rose gold timepiece with a stunning black Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial, a sprinkling of diamonds, a ruby cabochon crown and a heart-shaped counterweight: clearly a piece designed to capture the more romantically inclined for Valentine’s Day.

Review – Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette 5395 (Incl. VIDEO)

The third ultra-thin tourbillon model to join Breguet’s Classique family in 2019, the reference 5395, is about as anachronic as they come. Unlike the former references, with their classic dials and large aperture for the off-centred tourbillon, this watch has been stripped of every last vestment. There is nothing, literally, between the spectator and the […]
