... who knows how many tourbillons you might have seen with more!
It's an amazing watch, beautifully finished and the rear engraving is superb,but it still feels out of place in the Breguet catalogue to me. And would ALB think that more is better?
I would go for the Tradition Tourbillon, but this is still a fantastic watch to share over lunch. Plenty to talk about!
Thanks for sharing it with us.

One lunch, one bottle of wine, two tourbillons...
There are many ways to have lunch. Here's one of the better ways...
Put on your drunk goggles and you may actually see a quadruple tourbillon...
With a watch friend, a 75cl bottle of wine (for the two of us), and two tourbillons...
And with too much wine... you sometimes see doubles of everything...

Lucky you only had one bottle ...

I had a meeting afterwards...
No more drinking so much at lunch. Besides, I admittedly have low tolerance.
I agree with you Andrew, it does seem over-the-top. Ostentatious. Not sure what ALB would think but I don't think he'd be particularly proud of it. Besides, they're not mathematically perfect tourbillons. Seems more of an exercise of proving the old adage "More is better" is true when in this case it isn't true?
The Tradition Tourbillon is one that I do like more. The full exposure of the chain and fusee mechanism along with the very industrial looking tourbillon has a rustic cool to it (the crystal does look bulbous in person though). I actually like the rose gold version with the black dial and it emits a personality that goes well with the John Varvatos or All Saints Spitalfields signature look.
This was on the other wrist for lunch... A choice that I know you would like more... Didn't mention this one because I was already seeing double...
Legal Note: I must disclose, I was not drinking to the point I was seeing double, a mere exaggeration and figure of speech.

Fully sharing Andrews view. The double tourbillon is certainly fascinating, but a bit over the top. I once saw at the Shanghai Boutique the diamond version which is an incredible 50 mm in diameter...I could hardly believe my eyes, it is so massive. This piece should not be in the Breguet range.
I am also very taken by the Tradition Tourbillon. A dream watch.
Best,

LOL. Good one, Patrick. It has been a long time I didn't see this one.
That is what I call a " Magic Wine ".

Hmm...
Does your dog like Californian wines? Or does it only like French ones?
I'm assuming that the French ones are twice as strong, so I'll start seeing four tourbillons if I start to drink the French ones.
The other watch that was present for lunch...
Thanks for viewing Ed!
What do you get when a Montblanc Rieussec, a Breguet Double Tourbillon, and an Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Chronometer when they all walk into a restaurant?
You're welcome!
Thanks for viewing!
And thanks for the feedback!
Hopefully I can show you some more posts like this in the future!
