I admire the technical details of this watch
And a fusee chain is a beautiful piece of engineering and assembly. But I can't handle such thick watches
When I think of Breguet, I think thin and elegant, unless I am talking the XX style watches, or Marine. At these price points I desire the elegance. For those who like the Tradition look, any of the originals based on personal color tastes are superb. But for me, moving to a complex piece and you want to consider a Breguet look, that perp tourby hits all my buttons. You get the fluted case design, a hallmark. You get all the variety of the dial variants, another hallmark of Breguet. Their hands. The sapphire disk is such a nice twist too. I found this watch very readable. And while I only tried it on once it felt very nice. I really want to see one in white metal to compare to the RG
Here is an added scan, I don't know who to credit as I downloaded this during the release
Great post and pix. Thanks

How about a few pictures of the Breguet 7047BR Fusee and Chain Tourbillon
Following up on my previous post on the Breguet 5377 Ultra Thin Tourbillon and the Breguet 3797 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, I'd like to share a few pictures of the Breguet 7047 Fusee Chain Tourbillon. I was very lucky to handle all these watches at the...
I prefer the more conceptual look of the Tradition.
But I find it too thick. Way too thick. Not olny because of the sapphire. It seems, indeed, that such a sapphireis mandatory, and your pics show that very well. The movement, dial side, is very thick, too. My favourite is the original Tradition, with its ...
My favorite is the La Tradition
My favorite is the La Tradition 7027 with 37mm case and yellow gold :) My wrists are too small to wear this fusee and chain tourbillon, but it definitely is cool. Regards, ED-209
incredible picture!!
the watch looks rather large and I am sure it is stunning!! the chaine and fussee is absolutely incredible. would love to see some videos of the watch in action!
Well how about this video of the 7047?
Hi mjnournoff, Thanks for the compliments. It definitely is stunning to see in person. Here's a short video I made of the 7047BR :) Regards, ED-209 ...
Nice...are we in the trend of Fusee and Chain? Zenith also has ...
one recently, Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot. Any idea how practical and reliable this mechanism is and what is the maintenance requirement? I don't even want to know the cost of sending such watches for service :(( LA is good, close to all the nice s...
Fusee and chain trend
Maybe it's a trend, and you're right that there's a few offerings from different brands with a fusee and chain. I think it's great to see these out a the boutiques. I'm not sure about the reliability, I hope that Mr. Kingston (from the post below) can sha...

All good points you make on this watch
Thanks Joe for sharing your thoughts, you make very good points about this watch. And that perpetual tourbillon? It's awesome and my grail Breguet watch! I absolute love the floating sapphire disc for the hour and minutes. I posted several pics of the 379...
I had the pleasure to "test drive" this one for a few days....
It was a pure pleasure experience! :) Thank you for this great report, Ed! Best Blomman ...
That is a cool experience
Awesome that you got to get some extended wrist time with this Breguet! Regards, ED-209
Very nice post and one minor correction
I love the Tradition Tourbillon and am proud to say that I own one in rose gold with the black dial (as pictured in your post). There is, however, no version in white gold. The variations are: platinum with silver dial; yellow gold with silver dial; and r...
versions in platinum or white gold?
Hi Jeff, very cool that you have a tradition tourbillon! Thanks for the clarification on the platinum version. I thought so too that the previous version was offered in platinum, but on one of my videos the staff mentioned white gold. Anyway, it's a stunn...
