New Breguet 4746 Silicium images
Hi Everyone,
I was able to get a chance recently to photograph a brand new Breguet 4746 that features a silicium gear and a new designed balance wheel.
I have concerns about the spread of the use of silicium due to its potential of destroying the romanticism of hand made parts and hand finishing of traditional timepieces - if such silicon based/manufactured parts become widespread.
Nevertheless, the Breguet here that feature this new part has an interesting purple tinge - may prove to be popular with collectors. Hope you like the images.
Cheers!

Nice simple watch >>
Harry, Nice details of a 'simple' watch. The purple part kinda grows on you after initial shock..... MTF
Thanks Harry. Those are the best shots of the Breguet Silicium I have ever seen.
Despite the widespread publicity and press coverage of silicium, there have been few photos of the watch. - SJX
Even if one dislikes the silicium, the wonderful dial design should more than compensate .
Thanks for those wonderful shots!! Regards, Marcus
