BREGUET LAUNCHES TWO NEW VERSIONS OF TOURBILLON CLASSIQUE COLLECTION
The Manufacture has added two 3358 references to its Classique Tourbillon collection. These timepieces dazzle both with the beauty of their dials and the watchmaking mechanism they contain.
STARLIT NIGHT – 3358BB/VD/986D0
The first model in white gold immerses us into dreams of starry nights. A shower of diamonds appears to glide over its pearled and varnished mother-of-pearl dial in midnight blue. To add depth, a flurry of gold stars adorns the dial: sandblasted, polished and some adorned with a diamond. The off-centred chapter ring at 12 o’clock reflects the brand’s DNA with Arabic numerals and rhodium-plated gold Breguet hands, while the serial number appears at 4 o’clock. The dial opens like a curved, polished arena at 6 o’clock to reveal the tourbillon in all its splendour. An imposing shooting star-shaped bar composed of 45 snow-set diamonds crosses the tourbillon. At its centre, a blue spinel acts as a pivoting stone for the tourbillon carriage. Its fascinating operation can be observed on both the front and back of the watch. The sapphire case-back reveals a hammered baseplate hand-engraved with Breguet’s name and the unique reference number of the movement. For added sparkle, the bezel and lugs are also set with diamonds, while the crown is embellished with a rose-cut diamond.
STUNNING SIGHT – 3358BR/8D/986D0
The rose gold case frames a dial adorned with 281 diamonds. The gems between 3 and 9 o’clock form elegant curves, while those inside the chapter ring are set using the snow-setting technique. The chapter ring at 12 o’clock is in natural white mother-of-pearl. The Arabic numerals and hands are aligned with Breguet’s own distinctive aesthetic codes devised by its founder. Majestically positioned at the base of the dial, the tourbillon is integrated into a curved and polished oval-shaped aperture and enhanced by a rounded gold bar graced with 14 diamonds. To enhance the tourbillon’s fascinating mechanism, its components play on grey and pink-coloured contrasts. Last but not least, the bezel and lugs are set with diamonds, in addition to the crown, which features a rose-cut diamond. On this rose gold model, the sapphire case-back also enables the wearer to admire the hammered, hand-engraved decoration.
