Stefan (nitediver) presents an in-depth look at the Breguet Tradition Répétition Minutes Tourbillon 7087, a timepiece celebrated for its advanced horological innovations. His original post, enriched with detailed photographs and a press release, highlights key features like the magnetic governor and peripheral rotor. This article synthesizes community reactions and Stefan's additional insights, offering a comprehensive understanding of this remarkable Breguet reference.
Here are some photos of the Tradition Minute Repeater Tourbillon.
The level of innovation that Breguet packed into this timepiece is simply stunning. For a complete description of this exiting time piece, I copy the Breguet press release below.
I like in particular the use of a magnetic governor and the peripheral rotor, which allows for an undisturbed view of the beautiful movement.

I heard it yes. The sound was clear and pleasant, but of course I had no direct comparison with other repeaters, so there is not that much that I can say. I remember I took a video sequence when the hammers were striking, but I have to search for the video and will try to upload it asap. regards Stefan
link to the video of the 7087 striking, part 1 (filmed from the dial side) The translation of the comments in Swiss German, which you most likely are not able to understand :-) "it is a prototype" . "note that the hammers are striking from below, which is most un-usual" best Stefan
Link to two videos showing the minute repeater in action (movement side) Best, Stefan
