A wonderful looker indeed.
Really if I didn’t own the LUC Quattro Spirit 25 and if the asking price wasn’t as high, I’d be tempted.

Great post!
These all are beautiful and I really like the new case design. I think the classic flat lugs protrude a bit much and are not as refined looked. Based on pictures, the moon phase really jumps out for me.
I agree with you concerning the new case
and lugs.
The 7235 is wonderful but the front is better than the back for me. I prefer manual winding calibers and I’m not fond of the micro rotor with a large B, nor of the engravings on the plates and bridges.
The movement of the Souscription is much more appealing imo.

Such exquisite beauty!
Just love everything about these pieces, and for me the 7225! Heaven's creation!
It’s a wonderful timepiece, no doubt about that!
I wish you a happy New Year’s Eve !

Thanks for the great pictures, Emmanuel! The 7225 is pretty intriguing. Have a great end to the year!
Upside-down moon???
OK, so I just noticed this on the official Breguet web site: as in the photos above, the face on the 7235 moonphase display appears upside-down. This was not the case in those iterations of the 3337 and 3137 that included the face. (Not all did.) What gives? Are we seeing a prototype? Is it intentional? I have to say, it sure looks like a mistake to me.

The moon definitely seems to be "upside down".
I think this choice might be based on a search of coherence with the Roman numerals, which are also following the round shaped of the case without being flipped: IV, V, VI, VII, VII are "bottom up".

Love the 7225 but....
I kinda feel like the caseback should have been more carefully and intricately decorated.
Like you I’m not completely convinced
by the movement design and the engraving of the plates.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for this nice article Emmanuel!
The more I see it, the more I like the Souscription watch. I really hope Breguet will issue a two hand model. I love the historical aspect of both the front and the back.
If they don't, this one will be on my wish list!
I still need to get used to the new case shape but I will get there with time!
Thanks again for these nice shot. Would you consider one yourself? Knowing how specific your criteria are to find every time the perfect watch, I wonder.

If I didn't own the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25,
I would be tempted by the Souscription. But these two watches are too similar: white enamel dial, single-hand time display.
Of course, there are also many differences, but they aren't enough for me, especially considering the price.
Furthermore, for everyday use, I need a more precise time display than 5-minute increments.
In short, I love this watch and would buy it immediately if money were no object, but in my situation, I'll pass.

A two hand model would stop debating I think. Maybe it will appear at some point? 🤔 Best, E.
I really don't think so.
The whole idea is based entirely on a single hand, and a two-hand model would completely change the identity of the watch, in my opinion.
But why not, after all?
I just think I wouldn't feel attracted anymore...
That's the paradox, for me: the single hand makes it impractical, but it's what makes it so special and attractive too for me...
