BASELWORLD 2012 - BREGUET

TRADITION BREGUET 7047 TOURBILLON FUSEE, ROSE GOLD

Breguet's emblematic "Tradition" collection is being enriched this year with an original model in 18-carat rose gold. This "Grande Complication" timepiece featuring a tourbillon, fusee and chain transmission, and a Breguet balance spring in silicon, joins the existing models in yellow gold and platinum. Inspired by the legendary souscription watches created by A.-L. Breguet, this objet d'art symbolises both a return to roots and a resolutely forward-looking brand vision. Its pure, modern aesthetic sets the stage for the tourbillon and the fusee and chain tranmission located on the upper part of the mainplate. This sculptural piece highlights the contrast and relief effects, giving vibrant life to each component. These technical accomplishments symbolising Breguet's horological excellence are duly protected by for patents.

In 2006, Breguet, presented the first watches with silicon balance spring and escapement. The flat silicon balance springs, made using a raised terminal curve, also known as a "Breguet overcoil", were recognised as an authentic feat by the watch industry. The rose gold re-edition of the "Tradition 7047PT" also features a silicon Breguet balance spring, as well as a new black galvanic-coated and engine-turned 18-carat gold dial.

This highly technical new rose gold model is a source of legitimate pride for the Manufacture Breguet, wich remains firmly in the vanguard or research and development. Not content with merely inventing, it also displays the ability of the House to combine technological innovation with aesthetic appeal.
