Check out the Naked Watchmaker's website for a deconstruction on 2 of these
If you're not familiar with it, the Naked Watchmaker is a great resource for understanding how different movements work. And it just so happened they deconstructed both the 7047 and the 5717.
Here's the 7047: https://www.thenakedwatchmaker.com/decon-breguet7047
And here's the 5717: https://www.thenakedwatchmaker.com/decon-breguet-5717
Just picked up my 3rd Breguet, a Classique Musicale 7800 - Bach version
For those keeping score, I now have a Tradition Tourbillon 7047, a Classique Hora Mundi 5717, and now a Classique Musicale 7800. There's one more Breguet (the Classique Chronometrie 7727) on my list before I feel my collection is complete, but I'm feeling...
Thank you! The strap on the 7800 is way too big for me...
...which is why I was able to wear it so high up my arm. I've contacted another AD about getting an appropriate strap. Until I get that I can only admire it in its box. But triple wristing was actually quite fun!
Moda?
I almost bought the same one posted there. It was a GREAT deal. I'm honestly shocked Breguet is still as well priced as it is on secondary. A huge horological value for a reasonable price...which seems increasingly rare nowadays. Congrats on the pick up. ...
Yes, that was the one!
Normally when I see a great deal I hesitate too long since I have to go through the normal process of thinking over whether I really need another watch, etc. But in this case, I had already decided I was willing to pay up to $45k for one of these should o...
I’ve had no issues on moda buying sight unseen just fyi!
It’s great you were able to drive down though. Makes things easy.
Three Breguet on the wrist!
You have redefined wrist time! All fascinating and classical Breguet! I love the brand too. Wear them in good health 👍🏻
I live them
Not the average Breguet collection, all 3 are pretty special and very big for this brand, your last one is just huge I handled it a few times, really nice but very big I could wear them cause I’m used to big watches and I would love to wear all 3 of them ...
I have small wrists, but I also rarely leave the house
So these watches are all too big for me (especially the 7800 at 49mm!), but there's no one to judge me but me!
and that IS the perfect attitude !!
If you like them, what others might think doesn't matter
I only found out about it through the Le Quai de l'Horloge magazine
I requested all of the back issues of Le Quai de l'Horloge from Breguet and decided to read through all 9 of them. (I just finished #9, but #10 just came out so I'm going to read that one next.) It was featured in one of the earlier issues, and the descri...
Huge congratulations !
This is such a special watch and an epic box indeed! Wear it and listen to is in the best of health. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks so much!
BTW Emmanuel, your last name wouldn't happen to be Breguet, would it?
Thank you! I think these 3 are the most eclectic in Breguet's modern arsenal
They all offer some complication that you just don't see anywhere else. One could argue the 7047 overlaps a bit with what some other companies are doing (Romain Gauthier, Zenith, Ferdinand Berthoud, and A. Lange & Sohne have fusee and chain watches, and e...
Wonderful! So very happy for you!
And many thanks to MDT for making it happen! Thank you for sharing your fun acquisition with us!!!
What a fantastic collection, and what a great last model!!
I need to deep dive on them, the movement must be amazing to look at into details. Thanks a lot for carefully sharing with us, a brilliant watch to be shown here! Best, E.
