Breguet

This is a nice one - it would be a nice addition to the Japan special blue enamel dial from a couple of years ago Thank you Breguet for omitting the date this time (!) Reference 7637 minute repeater ...  

Just received this announcement via email and wanted to post it here. You were faster! 😁🙏 For me, this is the most beautiful Breguet I have ever seen. Yes, the dial reminds of the one special enamel model (three-hand watch) that didn't have that (… ugly) ... 

Euro 265K. OMG… 😔

The Type XX blunder is forgiven 😀

Let's hope they listen to us and correct the course

I love this layout but they don't have a an enamel dials in the 5157BR/11 models, feels like a miss, the small seconds are beautiful

The did a version for the Ginza boutique a few years back which was close but I don't think a central seconds hand works on the Classic Breguet,

The fly wheel does not seem to rattle.

The sound has probably been doctored by the film/audio editing team.

Where the video or audio recording was beautiful and the watch was much less sonorous in person. And we've developed a healthy amount of skepticism. Plus the audio recordings are all much louder than the actual watch. And it transmits through speakers and... 

from a real timepiece. Right now the audio file is unfortunately all we have. Perhaps soon a fellow member will be able to report from a live experience.

Breguet's MRs have been updated in the last year. People can send in their old MR and have the gongs replaced. Not sure if there are new tweaks to the Lemania movement here as well.

My old clock's gongs are made out of brass

Some Breguet Minute Repeaters I've heard were horrible! Nearly as bad as the IWC Grand Complication (which has more spinning governor/regulator noise than minute repeater chimes). I expect a lot more from Breguet, considering it's a top tier brand.

repeaters. But none were of the latest generation so perhaps Breguet has finally mastered the issues.

I have to admit, that Chopard minute repeater sounded good. So do some of the JLCs. Titanium case material is starting to become my preferred metal for minute repeaters, the rigidity and density of the metal produces a nice sound. The rigidity transmits s... 

is great and at the top of the game.

It's a modern Minute Repeater, and it's a "Powered" Minute repeater. Not a classic slide minute repeater. Definitely a cool watch though.

But our mutual friend who's heard multiple brands all in the same room within a few minutes of each other was definitely convinced the Chopard was the best. I also like how Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin minute repeaters strike with that strong in... 

besides the completely silent fly wheel is the ability to keep constant intervals between hours and quarters and minutes when chiming whether there are quarters or not. The nature of the gong makes for a different sound than that of gongs made out of meta... 

But as others mentioned a time only with no MR would make my day 😉

too large at 42mm and the long lugs do not help. Plus a thickness of 12.6mm is too much for a dress watch even when it is a minute repeater. Patek have mastered the art of making slim and crystal clear sounding minute repeaters.

as mentioned above, and the trademark Breguet lugs wear very large too.

But unfortunately price point and size makes it a no go for me… but admire its aesthetics
