Hands-on with the Classique 7337
Here are some shots of the new Breguet Classique ref 7337, you will see both the white gold and the red gold timepieces. Hope you enjoy the impressions! Cheers Henrik ...
Wonderful pics as usual, Henrik. A word or two about symmetry….
As far as I can tell from your photos, a center line can be drawn through (top to bottom) the 15 (moon phase) the XII (hour) the center pinion, and the VI. The wonderfully quirky thing is the offset small seconds. But what is even better, for me, is the f...

Lovely pieces
