This year Breguet brings to Basle a series of novel technical and design advances that should delight connoisseurs of prestige timepieces. The new items presented i n 2010 confirm yet again Breguet’s unrivalled capacity to innovate and to develop and produce in numbers new and striking time products. It does so, too, while maintaining impressive standards of mechanical quality, setting new levels of excellence in watch and movement design and preserving centuries -old craft lore. The company’s skilful application of its extensive horological expertise has produced these new models, whose meticulously detailed finish highlights their exceptional character.

Breguet Tradition 7057

Embodying both a return to the company’s roots and its vision of the future, the Tradition product line now includes a 7057 model with a white gold case 40 mm across. Its unconventional design reveals the details of its hand-wound movement, arrayed on either side of the mainplate. An aperture at ten o’clock in the silvered gold dial, engine-turned by hand, features the bridge of the 50 -hour power-reserve indicator. Its sandblasted finish and symmetrical bridge positions create a cooly understated composition visually enhancing the movement’s various gears and its pare-chute, the shock-protection device invented by Breguet in 1790.
