Breguet Classique
Grande Complications
Double Tourbillon
Mens Watch
From the Grande Complications collection, Breguet has introduced a truly amazing timepiece with great attention to each & every detail.:
The mechanics:
- Double Tourbillon: Each Tourbillon is an independent mechanism which rotates on it own axial every 60 seconds. The 2 Tourbillons are connected by a series of differential gears. The differential then transmits the combined mean (average) time of the two Tourbillons – allowing for an even more accurate/precise method of time-telling.
- The double Tourbillons are mounted on a plate – which couples as the dial. The plate itself rotates once every 12 hours allowing for simultaneous rewinding of the twin-barrels.
- The current hour is displayed by a hand mounted on the bridge which connects the two Tourbillons which makes 1 revolution every 12 hours.
- Breguet Caliber 588, contains 69 jewels & has an approximate Power Reserve of 50 hours.
The Finish:
- Polished solid Platinum case with Breguet’s signature coined edge.
- Silvered Guilloche textured Tourbillon plate center of dial.
- Hour & Minute chapter ring flange is made of 18kt Gold with a silvered finish. Black painter Roman Numeral hour markers & got minute markers.
- Blued “Breguet” Style Hands.
- The back of the movement – visible through the sapphire crystal case back – bears a spectacular hand-engraved diagram of the solar system, inspired by the 60 second rotation of the 2 Tourbillon cages and the 12 hour rotation of the center dial bearing the Tourbillons.
