Thanks dear friend...
...for your response and for the photos of the Automatic Tradition's back... Since I have time until my next purchase from Breguet, I will keep my eyes open for possible new members in the Tradition family, until I am ready for the automatic... And I quite agree about the definition you gave to what a Purist should be,,,
Best regards

Breguet La Tradition 7027 labelled movement (back)
Hi Breguet lovers, I thought I would start a new thread with the posterior of the La Tradition, because there is much more here that is still a mystery to me. I hope you can fill in some of the ‘gaps’. I have little comprehension about that power reserve ...
Part I and II to save , IMO!
These 2 posts are fantastic, Andrew D... I begin to sound like a broken record! LOL Just impressive work you did. Thanks a lot. Nicolas
An excellent job!!!!
...amateur or not, it is fine with me.... Is it too much to expect something like that for the automatic Tradition too? I know I am at odds with most of the rest, but I do like the automatic tradition and I like the indication of seconds, retrograde or ot...
I will leave the automatic La Tradition for you…
Hi Tassos, Thanks for your kind words. Don’t be dissuaded by the fact that the automatic 7037 does not seem to be favoured by other Purists here – in fact, that might be the best reason of all to choose it. The 7037 is a lovely time piece with its own imp...

Worth the wait...
Hi Tassos, You will remember this thread from a few weeks ago about possible future directions for the Tradition line. There were lots of exciting possibilities, but my favourite would be a whimsical moonphase with an annual calendar. We get a bit spoilt ...
Yes, a varient on planetary gears
I can't quite explain now, too late at night, but I'll try to document tomorrow. QD explanation is what you see is the side driven by winding, below that there is a flat spring to create a differential. Basically winding has more force that runnning, but ...
Planetary Gears 101
Hi Aaron, It must be late here too, because I have read your paragraph three times and I still don’t understand it! Not your fault, just that I would describe myself more as a Biological Engineer than a Mechanical one. I am therefore lacking some basic co...
RdM 101
Here's a schematic of how I see the RdM Mechanism. I cannot vouch for it yet, and i apologize for both the horrible coloring, and the poorly-drawn gears. The gray thing is the cock that holds gears 2 and 4 to gear 1, it doesn't look anything like I drew i...
a bit of help on the keyless works.
I found this a while back, when Mocafico's Movement was still on display. It is from his work, but since it was once on the internet, i grabbed a copy. So it's not mine, and I'm not pretending it is a...
