Guilloché has been practised since the 15th century. This artistic craft consists in engraving regular, repetitive patterns with a machine, hence the difference with hand-engraving. For hand-guilloché, a craftsman drives the machine with a wheel and guides the piece to be engraved by hand. Engraved with a CNC machine, the pattern will be perfect, always […]
Creating a fine, classic design watch that is recognizable at first glance is not an easy task. This is what Breguet has achieved with its Classique collection, cultivating unmistakable signs that are as many hallmarks of the brand’s timepieces. In this respect, the new versions of the reference 7137 with their new dials – new […]
Entirely revamped a couple of years ago, the Breguet Marine collection is the brand’s modern tribute to A.L. Breguet’s time as Chronometer-maker to the French royal navy. No more deck clocks today but instead a high-end and contemporary sports watch, offered in titanium, rose gold, or white gold. This year, the brand gives its nautical […]

With its timeless elegance, the Classique collection by Breguet is certainly among the best choices when it comes to a dress watch with some great horological content – and not only mechanically speaking but also in terms of the beauty of the habillage. Still, some will find them a bit too… classic. For this reason, […]
With its rich – and richly documented – history, Breguet never has to venture too far afield for inspiration. The Classique 7137 is a perfect illustration of how a pocket watch from 1794 can still have relevance today. Two new models join the family and although the tweaks are merely aesthetic and the layout, case […]
Launched as part of Breguet’s revamped Marine collection in 2017, the Marine Equation Marchante 5887 sails in today with a rose gold case and a new dial colour in slate grey. With its formidable presence, the 5887 packs a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon and an ingenious running (marchante) equation of time indicator along with the aesthetic […]
Instead of unveiling a brand new 2020 model hot off the production line, today is all about indulgence as we revisit a timeless beauty: the Breguet Classique Hand-Wound 5287 chronograph. Although it was originally introduced in 2013 and still available in some boutiques, it is no longer being produced. This probably means that the Classique […]
As we explained yesterday in a more technical/historical article, this year is special, being a leap year. As such, this is the perfect time to talk perpetual calendars, watches specifically designed to take into account this specificity of the Gregorian calendar, when February lasts 29 days instead of its usual 28 days. And today’s perpetual […]
Ultra-thin, automatic, equipped with innovative features and still minimalistic in its design… Breguet‘s Tourbillon Extra-Plat certainly is one of the best watches in its current collection. Launched in 2013 with a guilloché dial as the 5377, this watch also introduced a new movement, one of the thinnest tourbillon calibres on the market. It will be followed by a sleek and desirable white enamel model, and recently by a stunning skeleton model. Today, the brand presents a new edition, with a striking blue enamel dial and platinum case. Meet the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Blue 5367PT.
