More Breguet tourbillons
Just for good measure, here are a couple more Breguet tourbillons:
The Heritage Tourbillon (Ref. 5497) – I have always liked the curved case (carried through to the dial) that hugs the wrist, and the use of the Roman numeral ‘six’ as the tourbillon bridge, not to mention the ‘exploding Romans’ surrounding the dial. Nice depth from the recessed chapter ring as well.
The Messidor Tourbillon (Ref. 5335) is beautifully proportioned at 40 x 9.7mm with the mystery tourbillon showcased in a ring at 6 o’clock. It doesn’t really matter that you can’t read the time easily with a watch dial this beautifully distracting!
