gold hand-engraved on a rose engine. Individually numbered and signed
Breguet. Chapter ring with Roman numerals. Open-tipped Breguet hands
in 18-carat pink gold. Small seconds on the tourbillon carriage at 6.
Rose-gilt bottom plate entirely engraved by hand.The tourbillon
regulator ranks among the inventions that have immortalized the genius
of Breguet, earning the brand the title of the founder of modern
watchmaking. Sculpted in pink gold, the CLASSIQUE 1808 pays tribute to
this invention, which was patented on 7 Messidor year IX (June 26,
1801), according to the French revolutionary calendar. Powered by a
manually wound movement the tourbillon is hidden behind a precious
cover that takes on a brilliance worthy of the complication.A
sparkling cloud of 706 diamonds illuminates the lugs and cover of the
case. The cover opens on a majestic face of pink gold, which provides
a choice canvas for fine workmanship. The contrast of colors and
embellishments purifies the display of time. Hours and minutes take
flight at 12 on a dial of black rhodium, engine-turned in a hobnail
pattern. Its sombre hues counteract the soft and radiant tones of the
gold baseplate, which is entirely engraved by hand. The pink-gold
hands with their openwork points shimmer on a darkened stage.
Opposite, the tourbillon reveals its charms in a carriage of polished
steel. With it circles a small seconds hand.The sapphire-crystal case
back obscures nothing of the beauty of the manually wound mechanism
which has a power reserve of 50 hours. A strap of matte brown leather,
stitched with threads of gold reflects the nobility of the watch. A
pillar of watchmaking tradition, Breguet has a long and distinguished
lineage. Its founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet is considered by many as
the father of watchmaking. Indeed, he is one of the greatest
horologists of all time. Since 1775, clients have included Napoleon
Bonaparte, Marie-Antoinette, Winston Churchill, Alexander Dumas,
Princes, Dukes, Sultans and Kings. Breguet's influence on watchmaking
is unequalled. He perfected the self-winding watch, created the first
oil-free escapement, incorporated the first shock absorber into a
timepiece, developed perpetual date mechanisms, and invented and
patented the Tourbillon. Signature Breguet styling is evident in
today's masterpieces; blue steel hands, guilloche engraving, and the
fluted caseband.
