What a stunning looking Breguet Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255
I really like the hue and colour of this Breguet gold as I find it a really warm and pleasing colour and have also always really liked aventurine dials too. The combination of all the parts add up to a truly stunning and fantastic watch watch worthy of celebrating Breguet's 250th Anniversary. I would also suggest clicking the link to the article posted above as it really is a worthwhile read.

There are always many reviews on other sites...
...I just picked one that had good photos...
It is very good...
...I didn't realize that so few tourbillons had been produced in his lifetime.
Thanks, of the 49 tourbillon entires in Breguet's books the brand says only 40 are documented as completed, and only 35 of those were pocket watches
The survival rate was very high, though, and most of those 40 are still around, 20-30 are still around for sure, and I can only think of one confirmed to be destroyed (a clock made for an Italian associate of Napoleons that was destroyed in a fire)
Wow, that's right up my alley.
It's funny because the 250 Year Souscription wasn't, but this definitely is. The stuff of dreams, really. If anyone gets one, please post good photos of it.
The size seems very nice...
...I know that Breguet uses long-ish lugs, but it still seems like good proportions. The price, however...
Always the sticking point.
The industry as a whole is off their meds as far as I'm concerned...
Most watches are too expensive and they lose massive value after purchased...
...the others, if purchased at retail can go through the roof. But, of course, almost impossible to buy at retail. There needs to be a reckoning...
I don’t know why but it reminds me vaguely my Breguet 3657 ancestor 😊
The handmade backside is different in styling, but a big part of its attraction ...
Those older Breguet engraved movements have such a romantic quality...
...old-school in the best way : )
