Breguet - Tradition Tourbillon – Silver – 7047pt119zu – 2014

The Breguet Tradition Tourbillon reimagines the marque's founding eighteenth century chronometry within a resolutely modern, fully open-worked case. Rather than concealing its mechanics behind a conventional dial, the Tradition collection exposes the plate and bridges architecture on the dial side, a layout inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet's own pocket watches for scientific observation. This example is finished in a silvered dial with hand-guilloche detailing and Breguet's signature off-center hour and minute display, paired with a leather strap that keeps the visual emphasis on the movement itself.

Inside is a hand-wound tourbillon movement built around Breguet's fusee-and-chain transmission system, a constant-force mechanism drawn directly from historical marine chronometers and revived by the brand to equalize the mainspring's torque as it unwinds. The tourbillon carriage is visible at six o'clock, and the movement is finished with the guilloche work and hand-chamfering the Tradition line is known for, delivering roughly 50 hours of power reserve in an openworked, architectural presentation that distinguishes Tradition from Breguet's more classical Classique models.
