One of the longest standing watch companies, Breguet traces its roots to him who is considered the father of modern watchmaking: Abraham-Louis Breguet. Genius Swiss watchmaker based in Paris, he is the mind behind many of the most remarkable and complex devices used in watchmaking, one above all: the tourbillon.
True to this important heritage, Breguet timepieces are an exquisite marriage of tradition and modernity. The present watch perfectly exemplifies Breguet's style and technique. It indeed features Breguet's signature complication - the tourbillon - which can be admired through the generous opening on the dial. Moreover, the timepiece also features a perpetual calendar, sporting retrograde date nonetheless.
The tourbillon opening is mirrored by the large subsidiary dial at 12 displaying the time and retrograde date. Two smaller dials at 3 and 9 indicate the month and day of the week. The result is a supremely balanced timepiece.
The engine-turned dial, hand engraved movement and coin-edge band are typical Breguet traits: subtle and elegant details which transfigure the timepiece with an undeniable vintage vibe.
