Classic and classy, contemporary and chic, Breguet’s Tradition line embodies its legendary excellence even as it continues to perfectly track time

THESE HOROLOGICAL MASTERPIECES ARE TIMELESS AND ELEGANT.

Drawing inspiration from the legendary Souscription watches of one of the most eminent names in the world of horology, A. L. Breguet, the contemporary marvels seamlessly combine the origins of the brand with a vision of its future. Remaining true to the rules of flawless craftsmanship that were laid down two centuries ago, their established and avant-garde styling is indeed beyond compare.
The Tradition line is a perfect blend of technology, tradition and aesthetics. Take a look at the dial face that accommodates horological complications in trim, aesthetically sweeping compositions. Nothing is left to chance, nothing is ignored and even their most modest parts receive a sand-blasted surface finish, meticulously applied by hand. They masterly capture time’s elusive complexity, its innermost spirit....
Proving in ample measure that it is time to look back…and ahead to the future!

Tradition 7047 Grande Complication: Fusee Tourbillon
The Tradition 7047 features a spectacular Fusee Tourbillon mechanism equipped with the hand-wound Breguet calibre 569, whose power-reserve device is the object of a patent application. Its Breguet titanium balance was patented in 2004 and its yellow gold case holds centuries of invaluable horological expertise. Traditional Roman numerals and classic Breguet hands hark back to the founder himself.
Water-resistant to 30 metres, the dial of this horological masterpiece is in silvered 18K gold. The numbered and signed Breguet. Cal. 569 has a power reserve of 50 hours with a power-reserve indication on the barrel drum. The upper bridge of the Turbillon carriage is in titanium while the Breguet-shaped thin bar (barrette) is in non-magnetic stainless steel.

Tradition 7027 / New Versions
The emblematic Tradition 7027 design returns in a two-colour version. Its now-celebrated caliber 507DR displays the entire movement, built on either side of the main plate though mostly on the front of the plate. The pink gold case holds an anthracite grey movement that emphasises its bridges and bars, fitted with its celebrated old-style ‘pare-chute’ in hand-bevelled steel.
Set in 18K rose gold with a sapphire-crystal caseback, the dial of this magnificent watch is in black electroplated 18K gold, hand-engraved on a rose engine, off-centred at 12 o'clock. An individually numbered and signed Breguet, the open-tipped Breguet hands strike handsomely in polished steel. Also available in white gold.
