very pretty
i do like the watch very much, and i find the placement of the power reserve kind of intriguing. to my eye, it does not put the composition off balance. the guilloche version is very nice, but, naturally has a much different personality. a last observation: the arrow markers were very much in keeping with the overall aesthetic, in my view. i do wonder what inspires them, but the face is very classics, and the markers add to that, i think.

The Classique Phase de Lune 8787 Enamel
The new 8787 Classic collection is of the same family of the 7787, 7788 and 8788. The 7XXX is of diameter 39mm while the 8XXX is of diameter 36mm, manufactured for the Ladies. Gentlemen, this could be an idea for your 'the Valentine gift' The 8787 (in thi...
I don't think I want one...
even in a larger size, but it's a lovely interpretation of some of their historical designs. I'd also like to thank Breguet for: a) not compromising the design by adding in a date window (those always look weird in enamel) b) not covering it in diamonds o...
SFWIBW ...haha ..please see! :-)
Hi A There is a diamond version, did not have the pics though For your Lady...could consider this if your area has them - Reine De Naples Steel 8967ST. Fully agreed on the date window. Enamel in pink...NO NO !!! Kong
Yes but...
It is a beautiful watch but I think that I prefer the guilloché dial: Moreover, the base movement is the Lemania 8810 formerly the Longines 990: I would have prefered something more "exclusive". Thanks a lot for your great pics. Fx...
This is nice ...
Thanks for the pic of the 7787BR/12/9V6. The movements are all the same, even for the ladies according to specification. Kong
I thought it was based on Lemania 8815?
I thought it was based on Lemania 8815? Are you positive it is 8810? Thank you.
The lack of balance of the dial is a no go for me.
This is not because a watch has not a balanced watch that I don't like it, but here, the power reserve is ruining the dial, in my opinion. Too bad, because the enamel dial is superb, as well as the moonphase. Best, Nicolas.
An unusual situation...
Since I disagree with you completely. I think the moonphase is the weaker part of the design, it's too "pretty", and a bit too big, for the very traditional aesthetic. The weirdly off-center RdM hews very closely to some of AL Breguets earlier pieces (the...
Good for business when we take the opposite sides of a dispute, no?
I respectfully disagree. The power reserve is POWER on that dial, which is gorgeous. It works. Case closed! ;-) Best, CaliforniaJed
Lots of POWER :)
It's always a matter of personal test. I like that earlier POWER statement above ... It applies to power reserve, seconds hand, length of hands and all the visual details in my view. Everything is “powerfully” executed. The way the time hands cross with t...
The layout is alright ...just that the second-hand ...
somehow tipped the balance...sort of noise. A simulated image ...would this be more edible, Nico? kong...
+1
I agree. I think the dial is quite nice, but the central second hand is a bit too much.
This is isn't a ladies watch...
The only female styling cue is the fact that it's 36mm, the same diameter as a Datejust and the fact that it has such a thin bezel means it will wear larger. It will look incredibly masculine on a feminine wrist I would think. Poor lazy marketing to call ...
Though 8787 ...
Breguet put it in the lady's range, I would not consider it as a lady piece. The enamel does soften the image, but it is a watch suitable for both gender. I still wear 36mm! So you are not alone Kong

Handsome too ...
Hi Chris I have to agree the layout is still well-balanced to me. Except with the extra long counter-weight of the second-hand, but somehow, will need to intentionally to observe it, otherwise it seems to blend in with the layout. I am curious with those ...
Make sense ...
I personally like a watch with a power reserve indicator to be a manual wind. More logical As for this, the original base, is a Lemania 8810 (as FX highlighted), it was a super thin automatic calibre. Also without the rotor, the movement will be too small...
Yes the RdM is big and the Moon Phase indicator is big
and their position is awkward but for some strange reason it all looks good to me I like this piece very much and thank you I'll take 39mm Best D
Awkward layout ...
is sort of the signature of Breguet. Asymetrical layout does look good for some reasons Does it look better like this, D? Kong...
You are absolutely right
it is Breguet signature and it works out + for some reason it looks more interesting to me with seconds hand although your version is also interesting Best D
Small movement / big case?
Like it better with a seconds hand. The asymmetry and complex face makes it intriguing and, well, a Breguet. Not sure I understand Kong's 'movement is too small for the case comment' comment. This feature has been brilliantly pulled off numerous times, mo...
Thank you Kong for your beautiful photo shoots..
.. Which inspired me to buy the 7787 enamel version of this moonphase watch. :)
