Not a bad offering this year …
Hi Tony,
I like the dial work on the Classique (Ref. 5967) and the simple movement caps it off nicely.
However, I am with you and Tassos that the Classique Calendar (Ref. 7337) is the perfect size and balance. Very nice work from Breguet.
Tony, your photojournalism and Basel reports have been brilliant and I thank you very much.
Regards
Andrew
Baselworld 2009 - Breguet report (with photos)
Hi all, Everyone seems to have been waiting with bated breath for some real photos of the new Breguets. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you that you are not to be disappointed. I got'em. First up: the Classique ref. 5967. A very thin watch with a 4...
Thank you Tony, for these wonderful photos...
... and my opinion for the 7337 is exactly the same as your... Maybe the best looking watch of this year's collection, although I can not denied the beauty of the others... Your comment about the 7337's price intimidated me a little, since I was consideri...
Thanks, much appreciated...

black dial with grey anthracite movement - if you have any pictures of that also I would love to see them. The only other wo metals in the Platinum group of the periodic table of elements are Nickel and Palladium - perhapd they used nickel, but a Platinum...
I was going to check my facts in the periodic table,
but then I got lazy and didn't. In any case I can't remember hearing of elements with identical valencies being referred to as "families". In that case, surely oxygen would belong in the same family as sulfur, or nitrogen with arsenic. Oh well, I'm no che...
More on the Platinum Group metals
It is very difficult to interpret what they mean by Platinum group metals, as strictly speaking the groups are the vertical columns in the periodic table with Platinum in Gorup 10 along with Nickel and Palladium. As shown below under a different naming co...
Sorry, Tassos, I don't. And I can't remember what it looks like either.
For your info, the press kit states that the 7337 has a sapphire crystal caseback and a self-winding mechanical movement, 12 lignes, 35 jewels, cal 502.3 QSE1. 45 hour power reserve, frequency 3Hz, 18K gold rotor, hand-engraved on a rose engine. Hope this...

live photos of the Breguet La Tradition
Hi TonyP Thanks for posting the live photos of the new Breguets. Seems like a lot of comments (both positive and negative) on the La Tradition. I'll have to see one in person, but IMHO the two pink gold cased versions are my least favorite color combinati...
Well, it seems that it won't be a Breguet year, this year, for me
The Marine alarm Compressor ( ) is not my taste, bur not at all, in WG or RG, exactly the same: No inspiration, or better, a total non sense, to me. It is like listening to a Mozart Opus revisited by the Smashing Pumpkins. The 7337 is not bad, but this ex...
Thx for the report and photos...
The 7337 is definitely my favourite. This is a very nice update of the smaller 3330/7. Much better than the 7137 released last year. Regards, Vince
got the pics now
stunning...aprt from the marine imop.....................the classique is beautiful and as for the double tourbillon....well what can you say...............id better start saving!!!!
