Breguet - Slenderness, Speed, Accuracy
While Breguet has its own specific nomenclature based on four-figure references, the reality is far more evocative. Thus, whereas the number 7727 does not mean much in itself, it in fact refers to one of the most radically revolutionary watches in contemporary watchmaking. Beneath its classic appearance lies a silicon escapement beating at a stunning 10 Hz thanks to a unique system based on magnetic pivots. Presented last year as a pre-series, it has now been finalised and will be available as of this summer.
Accuracy
Another model of which we caught a glimpse last year and that is now being introduced in its final version, the 7800 Musicale features a finely engine-turned dial. It becomes truly hypnotic when it starts to turn to the cadence of a Bach tune. This model houses a musical alarm calibre, an instrument based on a rotating disc with pegs that beat in turn on the 15-bladed keyboard, according to a principle similar to that of music boxes.
Endurance
Breguet's other innovations include a substantial albeit discreet modification of its Calibre 515DR. Thanks to a new model composing its mainspring, which stores up energy, it offers 96 hours of autonomy, compared with 75 for the previous versions. This generous power reserve is displayed at 2 o'clock on the elegant dial of reference 5277.
Head-spinning splendour
Ladies are also treated to new and innovative features, such as on the Reine de Naples Day/Night watch distinguished by a lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl disc appearing at 12 o'clock. Sweeping over this piece that is not merely ornamental, the balance wheel is set into orbital rotation, thus creating an almost tourbillon-type system that spins on its axis once a day, alternating between day and night with the former symbolised by the sun surrounding the balance-wheel and the latter by an engraved titanium moon. Technology is thus dedicated to poetry and feminine sophistication within a richly diamond-set white gold case.
Slenderness
The record-setting reference 5377 is an ultra-thin tourbillon model measuring just 7 mm thick thanks to its 3 mm thick calibre - an especially impressive feat for a self-winding movement. The winding is achieved via a peripheral platinum winding rotor operating on the edge of the movement. On the dial side, the tourbillon is topped by a thin bar echoing the finesse of the mechanism. Anyone eager to acquire this model will have to be patient however, since it will not be released until 2014.
